  • I do the pia method but I also take the batteries out each time so I have to open it anyways. I'm trying to migrate to rechargeable in everything I can and since if you don't use a rechargeable for awhile it tends to lose its charge, I'm stuck wi…
  • My wife stole the recipe from me. I used to get small chicken cutlets, and prosciutto and basil and cheese wrapped up similar in a chicken/apple sausage red sauce bath baked in the oven. This was more fun to make and cook though, less of a mess t…
  • CIA pastry chef friend of mine doesn't do mapp for carmelizing cause its poison. He uses propane I believe. Neighbor of mine uses butane torch.
  • I've been using less charcoal in the egg to start with and starting in a weber chimney starter. That seems to get up to 300/400(unless i put platesetter in) In a shorter time. Of course if i want to do something longer I add charcoal on top after…
  • Thanks for all the tips; will see what happens!
  • email, workemail, facebook, then forums(assuming no topic notifications when I check email.)
  • You might have luck on ebay too. I sold a felt gasket on ebay for 5.50$ plus 10$ shipping after the mother ship sent me a free nomex.
  • I also vote for the nomex gasket. The only thing I can add to the felt gasket talk is when my small arrived and I unpacked it, it was the felt gasket and in spots it was already peeling off. I just assembled the thing and waited to decide what…
  • Every time I think about how much I've spent on outdoor grilling stuff, and other hobbies I get sad at all the other house work and upgrades I could have done. Then I think screw it, its a balance between fun and being happy and real life stuff e…
  • Hrm, wonder if you could double up platesetters to cover more meat? Would be more thermal mass too. Prolly ruin airflow though
  • If you mail ordered the platesetter and pizza stone for the sbge do you have links? My google skills are weak today.
  • Oh man, I was going to ask for a platesetter for the sbge for my birthday(june) and now I'm baffled at the options! Thanks for this thread
  • I don't mind the GF diet. Makes her feel better and makes my diet more diverse, plus the pancake/waffle mix i found is better than any pancakes i've ever had. Also found some AMAZING brownie mixes. The big issue has been pizza though, I have one …

  • not food approved as per the stove gasket company. Unless you want to ingest fiberglass... Yum! the mothership has sent me two gaskets already for free; just email em. never even used the gasket on the little egg yet as it was coming off after I…

  • The trick is to hit the sunrise on a day you are still jet lagged and up at 4am anyways.
  • I used mine for several months w/out a gasket, and the only issue I found was on long smokes. I did a brisket that I couldn't bring the temp down on a windy day with all the vents closed hahah. Here's hoping nomex works better. I sure as hell wil…

  • Are we sharing Hawai'i pictures now? I love Maui; Even had a weber at a rented house one year. Much fun for grilling local fish! A friend and I have a standing plan to bike up and down Hale'a'kala one of these years. The bike down they give…
  • I assume if the rope is puffy enough you only need it on the lid, or the base not both, which means less things to scrape and replace too. I remember a discussion somewhere about using the gaskets from a wood stove on an egg also. Not sure the f…
  • Ahh brand dilution: kleenex vs facial tissue? search vs google? Still wish my small would have come with the nomex.
  • Looks awesome! I was going to devil some eggs today but my wife decided to color them instead. Maybe later this week. I picked up some wasabi mayo from Trader Joe's that is awesome for deviled eggs. I bet zippies would be great on "devil eggs". A…
  • Panhandle Smoker wrote: Now you can get a Nomex or a Rutland gasket. They hold up much better. Are the white one's really nomex? Fred at Fred's music and bbq had a video about putting the new nomex on his grill and said that he brought the whit…
  • Oh no worries, took me weeks to order the gasket, then weeks more to scrape the egg, then found out about the nomex gasket, so got that one, and then ebayed the grey gasket. I finally have the nomex sitting in front of me, have the 3m spray, and wel…
  • I had a friend pick up a palette of it once. Good stuff, took 2 years or so to go through it. Course that was back when I had a char griller. That thing would EAT charcoal.
  • I thought you never had to change it? http://www.dyersonbeale.com/
  • Not to be picky but the replacement lid they sent me seems kinda pitted. Like pine holes where the glazed didn't blend together. If I was to warranty something for a customer I would make damn sure it was up to snuff. That's just me though.

  • It did smell a little off when I was grilling last night also, wonder if its the gasket baking on? Or burning up internally
  • back lid front lid I have a picture from inside also,but you can't tell much other than the top is white(new) and the bottom is black(cooked)
