I almost crapped my pants when the grill went rolling off the liftgate, thankfully two wheels came off and bottom off the grill rested on liftgate till it finished lowering to patio. The UPS guy almost crapped himself too knowing he was responsible for it. The christening will be tomorrow, need to get some fish or seafood to throw on there. 2 1 Quote

Mayor Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Posted April 24, 2020 Been late getting pictures and cooks uploaded. This thing has been amazing. After burn in, did a pork butt overnight to test, couldn't believe how well it maintained temperature. Did a pizza for second cook, first one (kids pizza) burnt on one side cooked for ten minutes, next one did for 9 and turned halfway through and came out excellent. Pictures of some of my other cooks. 3 Quote
Mayor Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Posted April 24, 2020 Plan on doing rotisserie chicken this evening, with beef brisket tomorrow into Sunday. One question I have is uneven charcoal burning. Thebright side of the grill is burning more than the left, even when place lit charcoal evenly throughout, I do tend to use the right side draft intake versus the left, allowing air to flow from under the right, should I leave both the right and left open some to allow air to evenly flow underneath?

tony b Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Combustion is kind of a random process, so don't fret that you're not seeing an even burn across the basket. You're not doing anything wrong. Keep on rockin' in the free world! 3 Quote
Basher Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Great looking cooks mayor.Had your son sprinkled black crayon over half that pizza?I get a bit of random left right burn and have been playing with 2 openings. Haven’t worked it out yet.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Alohapiggy Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 My grill burns from right to left and I only use the left bottom vent. I’m kinda curious why it burns in that direction to. 1 Quote
Basher Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Maybe it’s a Southern Hemisphere thing, like water down a drain pipe- smoke up a chimney? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote
Wingman505 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Oh man. This thread gets me excited for the delivery of mine. I looked at my wife, pointed at the screen, and said, "Look... That's a pork butt, that's a Big Bad!" 1 2 Quote
Bruce Pearson Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Looks beautiful! Can’t wait to see pics of your first cook Quote

I looked at my wife, pointed at the screen, and said, "Look... That's a pork butt, that's a Big Bad!" I never imagined how easy it would be to cook on it. Maintained temperature between 230-245 on 16 hour low and slow cook without ever touching it. Condensation comes out from the vents at the bottom, telling you how much moisture is inside during the cook, never had a dry piece of meat yet. I wish I had more time on my hands to do all kinds of cooks. 1 Quote
