The BBQ and Smoking Thread

[killramos]

Played with my new toy. Nice crusted sirloin roast.

Really happy with the blower, I think with this cut I would have let it go another 10 degrees next time to tenderize some of the connective tissues a bit.

[tirebob]

Looks tasty as fuck!

[msommers]

Didn't even show it cut open. What a tease.

[killramos]

Sorry hungry family and coordinating a few dishes at once limited my photo op time

[msommers]

Anyone have experience with Camp Chef? Eyeing up the Woodwind Pro 24 as it'll smoke plus has a sear station on the side that I think can be converted to Nat Gas.

We're not a big BBQ family but I see us cooking steaks only occasionally and smoking things relatively more often than anything.

[ercchry]

Those sound cheap… but turns out they’re not! Still looks cheap. I think you’re in Traeger territory… do that

[msommers]

What makes you think it looks cheap? Everything I've read has said otherwise.

The gauge of metal… the fact they sell a blanket for it is fairly questionable

Trager sells a blanket too.

I've had my Camp Chef for 8 years. I had to replace the controller at around the 5 year mark for about $85 off Amazon.

Otherwise it's been solid and the ash clean out is a big convenience.

You shut your mouth!

Why do these thing have to be complicated.

Poor: traeger
Not poor: yoder
Not pellet: Webber

The Kamado Classic 2 is also on my radar. As an owner, how do you find it for searing steaks? For that, is it fairly quick to get up to appropriate temps?

[killramos]

I love it for everything.

Time to cook depends how you go about it.

With a chimney it’s pretty much ready to go in about 10-15 minutes since you don’t need to really heat up the ceramic.

Fuckin NAILED some beautiful smoked chicken thighs, bone in. Smoked on a pile of Blues Hog plus a side of Japanese Binchotan and everything turned out golden.

Fireboard? My parents got me a fireboard 2 for Christmas and it's ridiculously good. I never had real trouble keeping the temp on the kamado manually but the fireboard is next level

[killramos]

Yup fireboard 2 Pro.

Have had it a while but only just got the blower and it’s a game changer. Just speeds things up and saves me a lot of trips to adjust vents through the day.

Nice to be able to blow some air into it to heat things up too.
