My new Triple Chef Smoker
« Reply #-1 on: December 30, 2012, 04:46:50 PM »
Well, CharBroil does not build one so I thought I would  ;)

This is a pellet grill, smoker and infrared cooker that cooks/smokes at 225 to 235.
The name come from the smoker it's made from the Doubel Chef smoker, but now it's a grill, smoker and infrard cooker so "Triple Chef"  just seems right.

With this set up I really can smoke meat from 180 to 265 without doing anything but turning the knob. If I want to go higher I can turn to high and really heat things up. I will be testing the high side next weekend to see how it does as a Big Easy.

Now as a grill I can hit 499 and higher at the grates using Grill Grates TM   and I will be testing with them soon, but for now I wanted to try out the smoking part of this cooker.

So here it is the Triple Chef Smoker!  A lot more to come

Sorry all, the internet went down for a few hrs here.   Well here is the "BIRD"  for my first cook in the TCS !

Now Bret who finished the cook since I had to leave to tend to other family matters  :-X   Anyway he loved the meat but said the skin was not crisp, but I was not there and I know how the fix that so I consider this a winner for the very fisrt try!
