Has the SRG become discontinued ??
Well I have contacted Michael at Charbroil and he says it's news to him. He will be checking into it for us and should have a word soon. Hard to think they would KILL a great cooker like the SRG >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
If they have I'm sure there is a reason but I couldn't think of any reason to drop it.
-
If it is I think it maybe because of slow sales. And slow sales caused by poor advertising not adequately stressing the greatness of this cooker. How come the people at CB are not as smart as Tommy and I when it comes to this cooker? Dee
-
amazon still has it in their inventory--at least they did as of last night. $192.00 or there abouts. Wondering exactly what the h... is going on with CharBroil. Hate to see that wonderful firm gone because of wrong decisions.
-
Well it showed back up thank goodness :) :) :) :) :)

I have emailed all my contacts there and none of the names work anymore except one. Wonder if there has been a big cleaning of folks there?
To bad, such a great company going to waste :(
Here is a chat I had with someone there.
Me: Have y'all discontinued the SRG? Smoker roaster and Grill????
Mike: Thank you for visiting Charbroil.com I would be happy to assist you with that!
Me: It has been off the site for awhile
Mike: While the Char-Broil TRU-Infrared The Big Easy 3-IN-1 Smoker Roaster & Grill - Model 14101550 is not currently available, we do hope to have it back in stock soon!

YIKES! With all the money Ive been spending on the greenhouse......spending more isnt a good idea here.But if it has been Dc'd its now or never.I saw one new on craigslist by owner for 125, but after a 5 hour drive costs same about as ordering...
Well I just ordered mine from Newegg and its the wife's fault.She just said last night as we were eating the last of the frozen ribs from the PBC that its the best thing we ever bought.See,its true what I said,buy a PBC and wife will ASK you to buy more BBQ stuff,or at least wont moan when you do...I HOPE!! ::)

I need to use mine more, my Red grill gets the most use with the Hibachi second. I have been thinking about giving it to one of the guys at work. He has modified his TBE to be an SRG essentially and uses it all the time. Money's tight as he has two kids in college and another heading that way soon,
Plus I need to resize my herd....
-
The wife's ::) SRG arrived today,she doesnt even remember ordering it. ::)
Havent looked in the box yet,but at least she seems rather excited actually to see it and learn about it.Having frozen leftover PBC ribs tonight didnt hurt either.
-
Good for you, Spuds!
-
Congrats on the latest addition Spuds, let's see some cooking on that thing. ;)
-
yup,cant wait to cook,just so dang much going on now.
Sous vide sear,love it!!!!!

I had that same chat with Charbroil About two years ago on CB940X then last year it was back. I think they cycle the manufacturing plant on different products. They run out and then have to wait for the next production cycle for that product.

You're in for a real treat once you do a pulled pork, one of the best sandwiches you'll ever eat is pulled pork with some coleslaw on it. ;)

Well not to toot my own horn, I do have 121 butts done in infrared ;) So if you want to do one let me know i'll show you how I do them
-
Picked up a bone in picnic roast at .99/lb for tomorrow,about 6 lbs.....Advice welcomed!

OK, here we go!
Now I have only cook two picnics in the SRG because I don't care for the bone/skin to me butts have more meat and are much easier to deal with.
Here is how I do them in the SRG. Wash the picnic/butts well, dry then rub with CYM then your favorite rub (low in sugar best)
while the meat is rest on the counter fire up the SRG and get the smoke rolling real good, turn the unit to low drop the basket in the unit. Lid down setting stays on low the entire cook. Cook till IT of 205 (trust me works better then 195) foil with 2 sheets of HD foil then into a cooler to rest for 2 hours. Remove and pull apart, add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of apple juice (mix well) then serve or freeze
Now with a picnic you don't have the fat cap so you may not get a lot of bark like you would if you used a butt
Good luck,
I'll send you my cell via PM so you can have the SRG "Hotline" :D :D :D :D

Spuds, don't hesitate to use the Tommy Hotline if you run into any questions, he really helped me a lot when I first got started with my SRG..

I did! What a wealth of info that put years of knowledge into one phone call.Cant thank Tommy enough,Mrs then got the info relayed from me and took his advice straight to the heart,she knows when to listen when a master speaks.At 4pm she jumped in car,drove down the hill 35 miles to VictimVille(a fate worse than death) just to get Bad Byron Butt Rub Tommy recommended,arriving at 510pm,20 minutes before they closed.
I cant get her to go 2 blocks to get the mail,LOL! :D

Spuds if your going to Victorville to get Bad Byron's then you must be in Wrightwood right?
A guy I work with lives in Phelan and another in Hesparia.

Other side of freeway,up by Crestline.I used to live in Phelan long ago,boy has it grown.Son lives in Hesperia,we work in VictimVille.Sure have no use for that place besides its my job.Its like a war zone just to drive there,the people seem to keep the left side of the IQ Bell Curve packed,no manners....YUCK!!!!
I like Wrightwood,when flatlander people say were do we go for snow,thats my pick,easy drive,nice place,not jammed like BigBear gets and so much closer.Yes,I like Wrightwood.IMO very nice people there too for some reason.
