Title: My first cooks in the SRG
Post by: Elzic on May 03, 2016, 01:51:36 AM
Man, I am loving this thing!  ;D Been giving it a workout.  (Trying to convince myself that I don't need to wait for Thanksgiving to throw in a Turkey)

Looking forward to a pork loin and hopefully some wings this weekend.

I've been making my accessories wish list (Father's Day is coming soon, ya know  ;) )  Any "must-haves"? 

I've been thinking about the skewer holder...Anybody have any experience regarding the hanging vs. the on that stand upright?  I know it lists the upright version for the Turkey Fryer, but it would be fine in the SRG as well, right?

That looks great! As far as accessories are concerned, I have the veritical skewer holder but use it mostly in the PBC.  The one accessoriy I use the most on the SRG is the chicken leg holder it's nice cause you can hang chicken legs or use it as a second shelf.  Enjoy!   :)

Congrats on the grandson!  exciting stuff!

Yeah... the leg racks are gonna happen.  How many racks of wings can you fit in the SRG at once? (thinking I might need a couple sets of racks)

This is the Kabob holder you're using, right?

Yes that's the kabob holder,  I only have on set of chicken leg holders,  you could probably fit 2 sets if you wanted. I'm sure you have already figured this out but the higher up the hotter it cooks in the SRG

I have extra shelves for stuffs, I can layer it all up if I have too, the leg racks work as shelves too.    .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I'm back and working on  three hours of sleep ;)

get two sets of the leg holders this way you can do a lot of wings yet still use them as half rack.  If you buy another set of half racks then you can't get other uses out of them.

Get a turkey holder from a deep fryer, it works great for large chickens and turkeys.   

A Tommy rings is great for adding smoke

If your gonna do butts then order another basket and cut the sides out makes it easier to remove large meats like butts, chickens/turkeys roast ect...     http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=697.msg6002#msg6002

I like that basket idea.  After just a few cooks, I can see the value of open sides.  I would have thought that the stability would suffer, but I guess not (based on that mass of meat you show in the pic...)

I need to hunt down the info on the Tommy Ring.  I've seen it mentioned several times, but haven't searched out the details.

 Leg racks will be ordered soon. 

Did some legs without 'em tonight.. :D .(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160505/6a66a3325972a2200e51d130ad5b2580.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160505/326e6e51e2a5c4adf9b441040dbef72a.jpg)

Dude, I haven't seen that much good looking food come out of the SRG in a long time. 
You definitely have "the touch".

just sayin '...

Hey..a Tommy ring was named after our newest gpa Tommy...he knows more aobut an SRG & TBE than anyone..it is just a springform pan, the bottom comes out of it and you just put it in the bottom of the cooker and set basket on top of it. What is does is raises the bottom of the basket from the dead zone, the area where the flame gets started from and so you get an evener heat. It works. Go to the $ stores to get it. I know because he helped me  and everyone else,  with mine.  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I've seen a couple pics, and saw something about holes and air circulation, and something that looked like elbows... I'm very new to this stuff, and want to understand the "whys" as much as (if not more than) the "whats".

I'm sure it's all laid out in the forum, I just need to hunt it down...

I checked the Charbroil website, and it appears that currently the only leg racks they have are for the TBE. A rep response to a question about usage in the SRG garnered an item number for the racks built for it, but when I searched that number it came back "not found".

I'll be giving them a call to find out what's up.

I have the original Big Easy and have two sets of half racks and two sets of leg racks. I have gotten four layers of wings in the basket at one time but usually just do two. The racks are also good to move a chicken or turkey breast higher in the basket to cook better. I cook a prime rib roast in my a lot. It cooks the best prime tribe ever.

Spoke to a Char Broil customer service rep and they told me that the Leg Racks for the SRG are out of stock, and probably won't be available until October when the SRG will back "in season"....

Oh well.... guess I'll have to cobble something together for my "off season" use.  :/

It's my understanding that that one fits the original TBE, but the SRG uses #7589230... is that not the case?

7589230 is out of stock everywhere I've checked so far (except on amazon where it's actually listed for $60+...seriously)

You are correct  :(   Lord I'm loosing  :( my mind

This set is being sold with the SRG on Amazon.  So it should be the correct one but who knows

Yeah...it's misleading, Char Broil specifies that set to be for the TBE, not the SRG.  Hopefully not too many people are spending money on a set that doesn't fit....
