Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

That box thing should be over the top of the fire box?

 

Mine are 2 pieces that lock together to make 12x12. They lay on top of the existing grates. Move or remove as needed.

 

Sounds good to me


19 minutes from ignition to 375*

 

Yes. Just for peekchur I moved it

 

Good luck. Got a fire extinguisher handy?

 

2 actually

 

Man make fire!

 

Throw a piece of sausage on there or something.

 

Just sprayed it down with some oil. In cooldown mode. Then I'll heat it to 225 and find something in the fridge

 

I dont know if I'd do steaks like that, since some of the muscle groups are different texture..ie tougher than others. So one part is going to be chewy while another part is tender.

 

I would for $100 if nothing is cracked, needs some good elbow grease though.

 

bring it up to temp, clean and season the grate...

 

Yeah that is how I use the ones for the Jumbo Joe. And have used them on the 22" kettle and gasser also sitting on existing grates. Not anymore at least for the Genesis! Took just a bit more than half the time as normal and had the 3 burners (sear station off) on the lowest setting. I didn't consider that I would be using less fuel but that is OK



Going to take a few times to get it down totally. But results are great so far. Of course it is the only one so far too LOL.

 

These turned out great, but they were brined for 24 hours so that may have helped. I prefer to bone the shoulders and hams out so you can make steaks or roasts.

 

I’m guessing that grate is cast iron? Could I take a wire brush on a drill and clean it good, then wash, then reseason it?

 

Ain't that a purdy site.

You can tell when the flames kick in and then once it ups the speed on the fan you are literally fanning the flames lol

 

Sounds like a good plan

 

New they’re $299 every day and $249 on sale a couple times a year...

 

I use a

$11 3M 7771 Paint and Rust Stripper Brush, 4" Diameter

3M rust and paint stripping wheel on a drill with my new or new to me rusted cast iron then reseason it. Works like a champ.



That wheel will not get down between the bars on the grate but will take care of both top and bottom surfaces pretty quickly. You can also throw it in a fire with hot coals but you have to be careful not to warp it.
