These came out last month (Wasn't even aware of it before today), ProQsmokers sold out so had to get from BlackboxBBQ, from the dimensions not massive and will have to hang a side of salmon from it, rather than lay flat, But should hold 2 or 3 Pork bellies around 1kg each and the same with cheese, which is ideal for me. Designed to use with the ProQ maze and is weatherproof (galvanised steel) and the holes are at the back so can use in the rain etc Tick all my boxes and hopefully will arrive sometime next week. Will post piccies, when I get it

The final part in the Shawarma trilogy 😀 this is a beef version after doing Chicken and Lamb previously.Used a Rib Eye Roast cooked at 40 mins smokeboost and a little under 2 hours at 350F to reach an IT of 165F Filling was Pico De Gallo, Roasted Red Peppers & Tahini Sauce. The main difference with this one compared to the previous ones, no Greek Yoghurt was used with the marinade. Of the three I would say this is my favouriteRecipe if interested

Hi & welcome James, hopefully the Masterbuilt will serve you through some of those Highland winters.

Sounds good, got a ribeye roast out the freezer today, to try a beef version on the spike tomorrow, minus the yoghurt, for a recipe I have found. May take it off around the 160-165F mark.

Looks great, a proper tower of meat. Out of interest did you cook it to an IT?

When I was researching recipes for this, some used leg of lamb, I chose the shoulder for the extra bit of fat, but sure if you leave the outside layer of fat on the butterflied leg, it should be good.

Finally got round to installing the new augur and chute. Pretty straightforward. Reached 600F in 15 minutes and then grilled at 400F for just under an hour and held rock steady for the duration. Fingers crossed a good start, going forward

Been waiting for what seems like ages for the corns with husks, managed to pick some up today, so tried Elote for the first time . Recipe here Soaked the corns and husks for 1 hour in a tub, heated the pellet grill up to 400F and cooked them for just over 40 minutes. Quarter turned the cobs every ten minutes. Used Parmesan instead of Cojita cheese, but the homemade Crema (left in fridge overnight) and parmesan work really well with the corn

Recipe here, more clams next time, proper dunking juice for the bread Did at 400F on the pellet grill

I usually do as well. But bought a bottle of Traeger Sugar lips on a recommendation this weekend, and it is a fabulous glaze for Ribs, very moreish (hopefully works on wings as well), I've found my go to sauce certainly for ribs, not good for my diabetes though to often, as it is very sweet, but has a fabulous flavour to it. I heat my sauces on the grill in a cast iron saucepan for 20-30 minutes till it is simmering before applying to the meat

You're welcome, produces a tasty dish and when my wife says you can do that again, then I know it's a pretty decent meal 😀 I used this Tahini, bought a couple of others in the past and they have been pretty disappointing. But this one was spot on, mixed with some water and lemon juice, much smoother and the right consistency.

Glad to hear it, did a Lamb Shawarma using a marinated Boneless Shoulder on a kebab spike and it turned out well also, hoping to fit the chute this week. Reading Weber have pushed a new firmware (4042) update out for it, over the weekend (No details on what it does) Had my Smokefire on twice over the weekend and no offer of an update either time though....

Marinated a boneless Lamb shoulder overnight. Filled Stoneground Pita Breads with Parsley, Mixed Salad leaves and beetroot stalks and a Pico de Gallo mix along with the Lamb Shawarma. Did 1 with a Tahini dressing on top and 1 with mayo as first time made it and wanted to see what went with it. (Tahini worked really well) Did Smokeboost for 1 hour and 350F for just over 2 hours , to an IT of 180F Recipe

Need a dislike button 😀

Do people when using sauces out the bottle. heat it up first, before using or straight out the bottle and let it warm up on the ribs on the grill?

Is that the reason for your shack? take you can't bribe him with your leftovers then?

Well let's hope it is an uncommon thing, as can't see anywhere to buy replacements on their website, if their not willing to replace them if warranty runs out. I'm doing a Lamb dish tomorrow, first time done lamb on it, drip tray underneath it. (Bit worried about the amount of fat from lamb), looking forward to how it turns out, are you doing a skillet cook or a leg of lamb cook for your Raan? Got a rack of Baby and St Louis Ribs on at the moment, first to see if it properly behaves over 6 hours.

Congrats on your purchase, enjoy

Maybe something to consider, hoping it is just a one off and it will work as advertised now

Yep, happy with the smoke flavour and smoke ring from the Cherry. Was pleased with the other 2 varieties of theirs I have tried so far as well

Thanks will do, going to do a couple of cooks in the coming days so going to sort it after. My original problem was it shot to 700F+ according to the controller on a 450F cast iron skillet cook (so no fat dripping down) and although I didn't see it, my neighbours knocked my door to say flames were shooting out the back 3 vents, close to the wooden fence. So I put it into shutdown and once it had cooled I started it up again. It reached 370F and then started dropping in temp, once it reached 260F I shut it down again. 15 minutes into shutdown it flared up again and had a proper fire in the pot that was going up the Augur chute and an electrical burning smell. Not a lot I could do and had to let it burn its self out. When it had all finished I could see the pellets coming out of the augur were all burnt and smoke coming out the hopper and the flavoriser bars had a hard/grey crust (due to the intense heat) over them, which has cleaned off, but took some vigorous scrubbing. It was all videoed, they had a conference call with Weber America about it, got the impression they weren't to concerned (I was) they said a new glow plug assembly, glow plug and the new Augur/Chute should sort it. Gives me the impression they have experienced this before, personally I found it scary and the glow plug ended up with a hard green crust all over it and the wires going down the assembly were burnt out. I will give more of the internals a check when I change the chute/augur, but touchwood it seems to be working ok now and I will get through the couple of cooks I have planned this weekend. Did some potato wedges on them after changing the plug and assembly and it all seemed to be behaving itself 🤞 Has taken nearly 3 weeks to get the spares to me, which I.m not to impressed by, understand the chute, but the glowplug should have been here in days imho

Don't know if anyone looking at these, but ProQ Smokers have knocked 30% off (discount automatically applied at checkout) Comes out at £174.97

Hoping to fit mine the weekend. The glow plug and assembly, I swapped over yesterday have got it working again after my firepot fire after shutdown and thankfully they were the only 2 items that showed signs of burning and damage from it from the internals of the machine, but will be interested to see what has happened with the augur and chute as flames went up the slide and burnt pellets on the outside of the augur. Good to hear the benefits of fitting the Augur, how long did it take to fit and did you use a video or the instructions to do it?

My welded chute and augur has arrived today, have you fitted yours yet and was it an easy enough job to do? Changed the glowplug yesterday, which is simple enough to do, but the welded chute and augur looks a lot more involved.

Must be lovely to go in the shed and find something like that, if I went in mine all I would find is half a dozen broken strimmers I have collected over the years and never took them down the tip 😀 I enjoy my pellet grill, I am a total convert. I know a lot of backyard BBQ'ers frown at them, but I have never been able to cook so many different meals on one type of machine as I do now and it makes me want to cook outdoors more than indoors than I ever have. Love using mine.
