Thats a shame, glad I got mine last year. Love the JR but probably would never have bought one on its own.

Man, lucky it wasn't on your deck, you just need a new fire bowl. Is that the stock nest for the vision ?

Congrats on the new grill, have fun .

KJ Big Block, RO red bag and now that I have cooked on it a couple times Western lump. Have also used Frontier with out any issues.

Don't know about the new ones but I bought mine last year and when the paint started peeling I just peeled all of it from the inside and kept on cooking. I really like the other features of the new versions over the first gen.

Looks great, see a lot of fun cooks in the future.

Has anyone tried pellets in a smoke pot?

The only really must haves are a good meat thermometer, good lump and meat, fish or poultry everything else is a luxury

When I do ribs I try to stay around 225-250 for 4-5 hrs and don't spritz, staying low on temp with the vents almost closed there's not enough air flow to dry them out. Thats what works for me.

But I like Burger Meister's better

Patio umbrella in a weighted stand and bungeed to the back of the shelf.

I'm no expert but have done about 2 dozen and shoot for around 225-250 and figure ball park around 1.5 hr per pound but rely on probe temp of around 205 to pull it. I always let mine sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes and then wrap in 2 layers of foil and put in a cooler under an old beach towel for a couple of hours. also like Mike Echo said check out the sticky at the top of this forum, lots of good advice.

Sweet looking table.

I believe they were 499.00 last year

Congrats on the new member of the family

Looks like a perfect way to break it in. Nice looking cart too.

That is good stuff, if you catch it at Costco road shows you can get the 30# bag for a little less.

My wife also doesn't care for much smoke flavor, I always wait for the coals to stop giving off the white and heavy blue smoke and all is good.

When I'm grilling chicken, burgers, brats I don't usually have the grill so hot that it's starving for oxygen so don't have to worry about burping.

When I had my offset chargriller I would lay a welding blanket on it for doing low and slow.

When I had my cart model I used 2 of the screws on the left side to mount a rack for utensils. I bought a Weber rack that hooks over the lip, flattened it out and drilled a couple of holes.

I think I would be looking for a new supplier if I were them. That doesn't look anything like a prime rib.

Buy the JR and then after the first time you try to take it somewhere explain to the wife what a huge mistake you made and that you really need to get the Akorn Jr for travel.....then you'll have it all. I love my KJ Jr for steaks and small cooks during the week.

Congrats on the new cooker and couldn't think of a better inaugural cook.

Good luck with your brisket, sounds like your off to a good start.
