Chargriller? Maybe?

Post by Gizmo » July 23rd, 2011, 4:44 pm

2 years ago I THINK it was a chargriller brand offset smoker. It was at one of those home improvement chain stores but at $59 closeout I thought what the heck. I burned the paint off the firebox trying to get charcoal/wood hot enough to bring the cook chamber up to 225. I converted it to propane and added a baffle to make it a reverse flow and problem solved. Since propane's not allowed in KCBS competition I had to sell it to a good friend that loves it. Everything since then has been just one step further away from dogfood. :D

I was at my friends house tonight that I sold my old CharGriller to so I snapped some pictures with my phone. You can see I converted it to propane and a reverse smoker, leftover chimneys, burned the paint off the firebox trying to get it up to temp with charcoal - what a mess - but he loves it because NOW it makes gooood Q! I appologize in advance for the pictures because I'm not sure how to attach them - this could get ugly...[img]Chargriller%20pic%201[/img][img]Chargriller%20pic%202[/img][img]Chargriller%20pic%203[/img][imgChargriller%20pic%204[/img]

Well it took straining it through photobucket but there they are. First shows the baffle I put in to convert to reverse flow. The second one is the end of the firebox where the propane is fed in and where I burned the paint off with charcoal trying to get the cook chamber hot enough. The third one is in the firebox showing the propane burner conversion. and the last shows the whole thing with an extra chimney.

Is there anyone else that posts pics to this site that uses a Mac? I think there may be some issues with the site concerning Mac computers. I would like to hear some thoughts.
