I must do this again sometime

The plastic balls minimise evaporation 

either, beer is more traditional but go for it 

Yes, did admire your inverter at last tailgate. Anyway will put something on for first smoke on the ne Traeger ranger  deli roast silverside beef, or smoked burgers, or smoked pork chops. Deciding....

Or this lol

his type of generator is less efficient and more expensive than a gasoline-powered generator, but it’s superior in every other way. Using a TEG is a way to convert temperature differences into electricity.

In a camping situation, the generator harvests some of the energy created from the temperature difference between two points.

The beauty of this option is that you can use a TEG even in a wilderness situation by building a fire and using the banked coals for the heat source. The down side to choosing a thermoelectric generator is that they cost slightly more than gasoline generators.

But seriously:

Time to boot up the traeger ranger assuming camping has ehu.....

Onlyfire messaged me saying we can take measures to your satisfaction which I guess means we can send you another. I said I returned it so nothing to do. They said we will make next version better which I take to mean it is a known problem with many incidents.  I looked at the broken bolt and it is not steel. Never going to take the torque so I think a more powerful motor hack is not going to fix that 

I ponied up 400 quid and have bought traeger ranger. It is bigger and more robust. Seasoned it today at 230c which is max temp and it performed beautifully.  Looking forward to putting it through its paces

is replacing the bolt with something suitable possible? (or do you have photos of how/where it broke so I can make my mind up?)

Accessing and replacing the bolt behind the gears is near impossible without taking whole pellet grill to pieces 

If you look at the ASMOKE 300 it is identical design, even looks the same

Yes full refund

Is that a cast iron grate?

OK, but avoid, it looks and feels lovely  though has loads of screws holding everything in place, no handles either meaning picking it up is not easy which makes it less portable. Lovely and well built but the auger is connected by a crap cam bolt to the gears  which connected to little motor this is critical fail point. it needs to be steel not cast aluminium bolt.  It broke on first use of pellets. It is a cheap rip off of a ASMOKE A300, avoid at all costs.  Poor for Onlyfire brand as other stuff I have from them is good 

I also have the onlyfire tray rotisseries to use, delivered yesterday

I have just had this delivered and it looks good quality.

Welcome to the forum.

I been looking for small pellet grill, bought, will review

I have few onlyfire items and they are all decent quality

Pulled pork will feed a lot of people. try the Weber pacific rim version, and do the mango salsa serve in lettuce leaves, it is a beautiful version. Long slow smoke, be patient and do not worry about the stall, plan and be patient

I understand you get a large quantity for the money? what is the price per kilo? & kilos 44.99 is £6.42 a kilo. Ocado port ribs are 9.80 a kilo so costco ones are meaty and are cheap

Do not worry about the stall , it is all part of the process, be patient and then you will get the bark you want

nice one

meat on bone equals more flavour, nice 

I did produce the beer of course lol..

Yes Justin, can’t get any locally produced! But what are you going to cook with it?

Too hot to do a beer stew, lol.  Not too hot to drink it though.
