    The one thing a BGE (or any kamado style cooker) has on a Weber, due to the ceramic construction, is the ability to maintain a desired temperature. I am absolutely a fan of Weber kettles (have two and I WILL own a Kettle Ranch some day), but a BGE can hold its temp with much less fuel. That...

    Grant, there are already products made for smokers that do exactly what you're trying to accomplish. The iQue is a pretty popular one in the BBQ world. http://www.pitmasteriq.com/iQue-110.html There are WiFi-ready units too, so you can pull the temp up on any device connected to your access...

    No worries, amigo. Believe me, this is by far one of the tamer forums I frequent. So no offense taken. I get what you're saying about the grain. Weather permitting I'll probably grill tomorrow night again up at my buddy's place, so I'll bring along the camera and see what happens. Costco does...

    So against the grain? Is that the common way of slicing tri tip? Like I said above, it's a pretty uncommon cut in the midwest, so I don't have much experience with it. This was probably only the 3rd or 4th time I've grilled it. The cut wasn't a big deal because the pieces were later sliced in...

    Read my post above. Pics were taken before I signed up so I didn't have the 'booze requirement' in mind at the time. Rest assured I was about six beers deep by the end of that grilling session. Don't worry, any new pics I take will meet the Holy Booze Requirement.

    Unfortunately I have to restock the supply, as I'm pretty much out at the moment. Luckily there are seven bars within a two block walk of my place, so it's not a big deal. You can't throw a rock without hitting a place running a happy hour. It's great. Here's some tri tip I grilled up recently...

    Thanks. It's nice to come out of the gate swinging and be called weird by a guy that names his cast iron pans. Don't worry, I've been lurking here for a while, just haven't had the initiative to sign up. Drinking and cooking hot shit is right up my alley, so I'll post up some pics occasionally.

    Do NOT skimp on doing the water pump and timing belt on your Jetta/Golf/GTI/A4/Passat. The 1.8T is an interference engine, so if that belt breaks, you can kiss your valves (at least) goodbye. Whatever diverter valve you go with, make sure it's recirculating and not a blow off style. Curry...
