End of my SRG, but going out with a bang!
« Reply #-1 on: July 04, 2016, 06:06:08 PM »
My SRG went out in a ball of smoke!  After picking up 6lbs of St.  Luis ribs on sale from Publix for $2. 99/lb, I rubbed them with Jan's rub and set them in the bottom of the rack for 30 minutes on low. 

I then planned on finishing them up on the grate so I set it on high and went to grab a nice cold one....



We'll,  a few minutes later I noticed smoke billowing out.  The bottom of the barrel had fallen out and the inside had caught on fire! I was able to salvage the ribs and finish them up on my regular grill with a nice coat of BBQ sauce.



The best 4th of July meal we have had yet! Now to find a new barrel...

You can order the chamber from Char Broil direct, When this happened to mine I ended up finding a new one on Craigslist for $120. I went ahead and got it instead of replacing the chamber because I also needed to replace the grill that was about cooked out.

Great save despite having issues with a cooker.  Sorry to hear about the SRG going down :(.   But now you can buy a new one ;)

My new chamber is finally in the mail.  Haven't been able to fire her up since the 4th! Can't wait to oil this baby down and set her on fire!   :D

make sure you clean the bottom out real good before you fire it up again.  :)
