BBQ's / Gas Grills

Smoked wings on the Kamado here last night while enjoying a couple pints & a cigar.

Those look awesome.  Nice grill, too!

Those do look great. Is that the Kinders honey hot sauce?

Yup, plus I added some Franks Red Hot on there as well

Wow, my mouth is watering.  Nice work guys.

Anybody try or know someone with a Masterbuilt gravity charcoal unit?  I've had my Bradley for quite some time and am itching to try something new.  A pellet smoker/grill is at the top of the list but wondering about charcoal.

[GreatBigAbyss]

Hmmm,  Looks interesting.  The east of use of a digital pellet grill, but using charcoal instead.

I never considered it, because I didn't know such a thing existed, so I never thought to ask. 

Are you anywhere near Regina?  There's a Luxe BBQ in Regina, and they carry these grills.  I'm sure that somebody who works there has an opinion/knowledge about these things.

^ I'm near Saskatoon.  Ya talking to someone at a business that specializes in smokers/grills would be a good idea. I'm sure there's lots of info online also, but haven't dug into it yet.

You should give Luxe a call to talk to them about it.  They offer free shipping to major cities (saskatoon included), and when I was shopping for my grill and comparing prices, I didn't find a lower price anywhere else.

^ Awesome, thanks for the tip!

I love my Cookshack smoker.

It's s chunk wood smoker

I'm going to try a pork butt this weekend, and make some pulled pork.  Should be about a 12 hr cook, so I'll be getting up nice and early tomorrow to get it going.

I generally use pork shoulders for pulled pork, is the butt a better option? I usually smoke on the charcoal grill for a few hours and then I toss it in a dutch oven on low in for a few more hours. Always turns out great.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Pork Shoulder and Pork Butt are used interchangeably. Same.

You will have a "stall" perhaps for a few hours where the temp doesn't go up. Generally in the 150-175 temp. This is normal and you must resist the temptation to increase temperature.

Aim for about 200F internal finish and expect 1.5-2 hours per pound at 225

I prepped the 7lb shoulder last night, then woke up at 6am to turn on the grill to 250, and put the shoulder on.  Then went back to bed for a couple more hours.

It cooked steadily for about 6 hours, then when it hit 160f, it stalled.  Took another 3 hours to climb to 168, at which point I took it off and wrapped it, so at 3pm.

Two hours later, it's at 180, and starting to climb faster.  I'm expecting it to be done for 6pm, at which point I'll rest it for another hour or so while I bake the potatoes.  So, a 12-14hr cook.  I can't wait to unwrap it and see the results after it's rested.
