Remeber back some years ago when Brett (Beaver) was driving down the highway and his offset was still going with heat beads inside ? (I think it was an offset) The wind got it flaming really well and he had to pull over and get the charcoal out.

Can you insure it against fire ?

Tricky one. Some of the BBQ teams would have some idea I think.

Thta's a good little grill and quite a few of us in here have one. It's a different brand but the same grill.
Best to use small bits of lump charcoal rather than heat beads/briquettes. You can by lump at Bunnings and it will last ages if you are just using it on a hibachi. Have a stock of small bits to keep ading to the fire as you cook. Take your time, cook over the coals and eat as you go.

Also nice to catch up with Gumb yesterday....
and thanks for the ribs, they look great.
-
That was my advice too. Please let us know how it turns out Stewie.

Definitely pull after you unwrap, add some juices to it, or even a bit of apple juice/BBQ sauce mix but not too much, and then put it in the fridge in whatever size packs you have, preferably vac sealed or zip locked.
Reheat in a microwave or sous vide if you have one.

It's a shame because this little grill is great for camping and caravaners but they are no longer importing them and Harvey Norman were the last of the stockist and they have none available on their website.
If anyone wants one at a good price, there are still some online here: Grill2Go BBQ

Just the probe. I have another probe and it works fine.
-
Well, I'm not buying another one of these Inkbird monitors. This is the second probe which has burnt out and it was only in the Ziggy looking after a roast so there was no direct flame got to it. But part way through the cook, it started to jump all over the place and read high numbers like 475f, 320f,235f etc.
Here it is turned on with nothing attached.....
The previous one I had failed in the Cobb exactly the same way.
I know they are cheap but they should do better than that.
-
Just how I like mine done ! Great result.
-
A small bit of eye fillet for two on the Asmoke.
-
Can anyone give us a report ? I hope those in it's path are OK.
-
I just spoke to a guy who bought one recently and he's had the igniter burn out a couple of times already,the first being on only the second cook ! He said it's not a rod but more like an element, similar to a glow plug.
It's been replaced each time but he's also had issues where it didn't start. I advised him to clean out the fire box so at least that might help.

On a par I'd say but The DC with a higher lid would be an advantage if space was an issue. The Asmoke is better for direct grilling but you need to be careful with fatty foods like suasages becasue I've found it can flare up easily. I haven't tried it with my Grill Grates yet but they would help in that regard.
The DC also does wifi but I must say I find that a bit of a chore to set up when trying to go to server mode.
So in summary....DC if you were buying an all rounder, the Asmoke if grilling or smaller roasts was the main aim and you had other options for larger meals.
I'm not sure I need both so I might sell the DC but only because I do have plenty of other options for roasting or larger cooks. The DC is still a very good pit.

Gave mine a run tonight doing a small roast lamb and some spuds. It sat perfectly around the 175c mark the whole time. I'm still very happy with it.
-
I've been through 5 igniters in the last 2 years I now use a blowtorch
Something is going wrong there. I've had a DB and now a DC and never had to replace a rod. I've had start up fails only when the fire box was full of ash
-
Not an April fools joke, this is real.
Usual rules apply. 3 pics MAX, one post per cook.
-
Don't try to cook so much at once. It's all about cooking small bits at a time over a long period, similar to the old fondue days.
-
That would be great but I'm away at the moment and will be until after Easter. Only got intermittent internet access too.
Urban Griller or Narm Naleg will be able to help. We have stock.
