Spun Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I have been grilling and smoking for quite some time and picked up an old small Sazco grill on craigslist for a good price to take to TX for a Christmas road trip. We took the kids to see there Aunt and she did not have a grill.... I had to do something It was missing the coal bed liner and the lid so I took it to Home Depot and found some solutions. Found a flower pot bottom to lay on the inside to protect the bottom. A stainless steel coal tray that sat perfectly on the bottom and some electrical box items for a modified smoke top. To say the least, it has become my favorite go to grill/smoker. I love the control on it and the low use of the coal and wood. Only thing I am still toying with is getting the smoke lever just right. It does not take much to get a great deep hickory profile. My others grills are a large adjustable coal grill I have been using for at least 15 years and a gas box smoker that has near the same miles on it. Starting cooking on the grill in the late 70s when my old man would have me flip everything when he cooked... Looks like a fun good group here and happy to join.

Spun Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 I am impressed just how forgiving these little puppies are. Smoked a bunch of links for my daughter tonight, the only way she likes sausage, and the temp control is amazing. I'll add some more goodies tomorrow. Thank you for the welcome gents and I look forward to participating in the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do bourbon tasting and gatherings at my place once in a while. Always have smoked something to go with it :). I might be doing a rum event next...

Spun Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Doing some pizza tonight. I want to try out the Astrogril cast pizza Iron I picked up from the 50s... perfect fit in the Sazco genie size. Have not done that yet, so I have two Sazco going and trying Reef's Dough Recipes... this crust. Very watery when I mixed so I added until it got where I wanted. Have a few folks coming over, so either this turns out good or we eat the smoked pork loins from 2 days ago :). Marty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy_Coal Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Welcome! Nice cookers you've got there. Looking forward to seeing how the pizza turns out. Pizza is something I'm going to start tackling.
