The Wookiee
Full Fledged Farker
Wow wow wow.
So using this thing as much as possible to figure it’s tendencies since getting it. BIgPoppa had it to me on a Tuesday (ordered prior Thursday; fast!). I put it together alone as I was too excited to wait for help. Easypeasy (but I’m a big fella). Bob Evans log fatty 1st, and since the inaugural I’ve done brisket, pork shoulder, sausages, burgers, salmon, griddled shrimp, pork ribs, corn in husk, skewered asparagus, beans... and I’m sure a few other things I’ve forgotten. Next up home dry aged NY strips... we’ll see if it can really sear...
This thing throws out so much smoke compared to others I’ve cooked on (owned a camp chef and timberline) that I keep checking to make sure nothing is wrong! Great smoke even 275-300... starts to flicker from there but totoally another league for a pellet grill. griddle and searing grates really makes this sucker versatile with flame zone. WiFi is great. Low pellet consumption; fast recovery with the flame zone.
Only major thing to pay attention to is the radiant heat off the grease plate (using flame zone set up) effects long slow cooks done on bottom rack; the grease plate is just under the rack without much clearance left side greater than right- really only an issue if loading it up once you are ware of it. Long smoke on top rack unless space dictates otherwise..
I’m terribly smitten with this beauty. My children named it ‘Felicity the tank engine’.
Sorry no pics yet...
