Jim, I haven't because I assumed I was doing something wrong since it calibrates ok. The readings can just be bizarre at times. Thanks for the suggestion and I'll do that.

I have had a Thermapen for several years and have had issues with it for some time. I've calibrated it so I know it's working fine, but I simply must not know how to use it correctly. I invariably get strange readings out of meat when I'm using it; so strange at times that I know it's wrong...

Thank you Dwain. Appreciate the advice and the link to the cook. I feel much better now! Steve

I am smoking a turkey this year for an early Thanksgiving meal, this weekend actually. I bought a 24 lb. Butterball. The only choices where I was were 11.5 or 20 plus. I just decided to smoke a large one, but then I started worrying a bit. I've only smoked smaller ones, so this would be a...

Thanks a bunch! I'm getting one. Steve

That's great; can you share where you got that "briner". I'd love something like that. Thanks. Steve

I too placed my first online order about a month ago. My order came with a catalog and then, and only then, did I find that we have a store of their's locally. Ok, because of the free shipping, but still. I have since visited there and I love the place. Haven't tried the Galena or the BBQ...

Great company to do business with and the product is top notch. Will use them again and again. Steve

Thanks Russell. I appreciate the links and they will help. Part of my issue is that I'm trying to get used to a new grill. I have the Weber 670 and that thing gets hot and cooks totally different than what I'm used to. Appreciate the advice. Steve

I have owned a thermopen for some time now and I am getting very inconsistent readings from this thing. Everyone praises this tool and I have to admit I like it, but many times I get very unusual readings. I have done the boiling water test and it appears to be fine with that. But, when I...

I finally got this thing put together and you were absolutely correct, the hose and quick disconnect valve is much larger than my old one for the Ducane. I will call my plumber who originally ran the line. Can they just replace a larger fitting to the pipe itself that my quick disconnect can...

Received delivery of this bad boy yesterday and it is awesome looking right out of the box. I plan on putting it together this weekend. I need to hook up the gas to my natural gas line (and disconnect my old one). I've never done this part before as it was done the first time by the plumbers...

Just took the plunge and bought a new Summit S-670. This weekend my wife said for the 3rd time that I need a new grill. I have an old Ducane that I have already re-furbished once and it is both an eye sore now and falling apart. I am thrilled and excited with the 670 and can't wait to try it...

Hi Mike, sorry but I don't have any input. I have been watching this thread because I am almost exactly in your position. I am very interested in a Summitt, but it is such an investment want to know more about it. I've read what I could here in earlier threads and it really seems like they...

No way I would argue with the experts here, but my very recent experience was cooking a lot of wings (both grates full) at 250 for 2 1/2 hours with apple wood. Pulled and crisped them up on the gasser for no more than 10 minutes and tossed with wing sauce (butter and Franks) and they were an...

Sorry, no pics. I just did the smoked chicken wings outlined in the cooking section here and they were fantastic. Second time in about a month and everyone said they were the best wings they have ever eaten. Great success. I put a dry rub on of salt/turbinado sugar, paprika and garlic salt...

Did 8 lbs of chicken wings for the Super Bowl and smoked them for about 3 hours, then finished on the gasser. Used the sauce on the Cooking Topics page and they were a huge hit. Used one chunck of cherry and one of sugar maple and they were excellent. I love the smoky flavor added to the...

Thanks Mark. I do have Weber kettles that are just old and ready for retirement. I have been wanting to step up to a performer, but not nuts about the price tag. I currently have a rotis on my Ducane gas grill, but wanted it on the new Weber for my cabin at the lake. I will practice before I...

My addiction with Weber didn't stop with my discounted Performer. Oh no, I "had" to have the rotisserie and ordered it. Seems very high relative to the grill itself, but I really wanted it. I love to cook via a rotiserrie and just took the plunge. Can't wait to use both! Steve

Hey, I read about the sale at Lowes earlier and did a search for all local Lowes. Found only one in the area that didn't show out of stock. I visited that store during lunch and bought the store floor model for $179 (10% discount). They had no more in the store. I have wanted one of these...
