Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Looking good! Must have had to sell a lot of honey to afford that Big Green Egg!

I’m going to be firing my smoker up here shortly. Doing some ribs and chicken.

@Fargo Taco, any word on your replacement parts?

 

Sounds amazing!

SUPPOSEDLY Traeger is supposed to get their shipment of barrels in today so they can ship me my replacement. Then it'll take another week to get it to me. I won't be smoking for at least another 2 weeks.

 

99,615 miles. That's what I figured was to just get a new bearing and 3 u-joints and take care of it. Kind of a weird noise but I will investigate that when she leaves here shortly. It's hard to tell the noise because of the near 40k mile BFG/MT on there. They're a little choppy in the rear.
@wilcam47 I can try and get a couple pictures. Just comparing the old to newer. It looks like possible shields might be missing. I need to look again anyway.

 

Egg is 14 years old and the best investment I ever did, it works and well worth the price.

 

Fu you too AMAZON!Guess i cant have an opinion...

 

New and old, guess it looks more like it could be just a different design. Looking at the rear of the old one (not in picture) is where it looks like piece is missing

 

Ribs on Bacon off

 

Ribs and chicken on! Free Manner!!!

 

Wtf man!!! Grabbed my first cold one a d seen this.... shit should be illegal especially while actually hungry!! Looks awesome brother!!

 

One thing to listen for with bad u-joints is squeaking noise while driving in reverse from under the truck!!! Iv seen and heard this many times.... dead give away on bad you joint-s

 

Thanks

 

Man now I want chicken also

 

Greg how do you do ribs, been doing 3-2-1 and have been awesome every time

 

LOOKS ok..

 

That’s what I do, I’ve found that I do more of a 3-2-2 method. I wait until I see the meat around the rib bone end retract. I also remove the “paper” membrane from the back of the ribs.

 

Thanks!

 

Good and bad, can’t have both these days

 

Snuck out of the store for a little bit and knocked this out. Hope he’s okay with it

 

Looks like it’ll work!
