8 Gallon Ice Melt Dispenser = Charcoal Storage

Buddeez 098 Ice Melt Dispenser, 09801GRAY-ONL, Black

Buddeez 098 Ice Melt Dispenser, 09801GRAY-ONL, Black

The container part of this looks very similar to the Kingsford Charcoal Kaddy. That’s also manufactured by Buddeez. At 8 gallons, the size is identical.  The top is certainly different, but you can completely remove the top as needed.

ThermoWorks IRK-2 Infrared Thermometer – Circle Targeting, works w/K type probes – Save 35%

Industrial IR with Circle Laser (IRK-2)

  • Circle laser for better targeting
  • High quality 12:1 optics
  • IR range to 1022°F (550°C)
  • Reads type K probes
  • Adjustable emissivity
  • Bright, backlit display
  • Max/Min, C/F, Avg, High/Low Alarms

IRK-2 infrared thermometer will be your favorite professional tool for broad range temperature measurements among industry and home use. IRK-2 includes circle laser IR targeting, large LCD display, and extended temperature range.

IRK-2 Infrared Thermometer is equipped with a circle laser indicator, which allows you to better approximate your target area without the guesswork of a single laser. The 8 laser dots show you the diameter of the area being measured. As you move closer or further from the target the laser circle will change diameter. This infrared thermometer has an adjustable emissivity feature, which allows you to measure a variety of surface types. For poorly lit areas, the infrared thermometer’s backlit display can be toggled on (or off) for easy reading of surface temperatures.

IRK-2 Infrared Thermometer includes a thermocouple socket for use with any type K thermocouple probe. A two line display shows infrared and thermocouple measurements simultaneously. And, with a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio, the Industrial Infrared Thermometer allows you to measure small target areas from further away (1 inch spot at 12 inch distance). This keeps the lens cool when measuring hot surface temperatures.

IRK-2 Infrared Thermometer’s display features include Min/Max, Diff. Mode, Avg. Mode, Hi/Low alarms, and continuous scan mode with a large main temperature display, which reads in °F or °C. It’s everything you need in a professional infrared thermometer.

For a short time ThermoWorks has this marked down 35% to $61. No coupon code necessary. Check link below for availability.

Removing Pellets from Your Pellet Grill?…. Bucket Head Shop Vac!

5 Gal. 1.75-Peak HP Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum Powerhead with Filter Bag and Hose (compatible with 5 Gal. Homer Bucket)

There are a few good reasons I can think of to remove pellets from your pellet grill/smoker.

  1. You want to switch to a different type of pellet for a particular cook.
  2. You need to clear some sort of a jam or fix a problem.
  3. You’re storing your pellet smoker and want to remove pellets to avoid potential problems.

Maybe some pellet grills have a way to easily remove pellets, but mine (Recteq RT-700)… does not.

Looking for solutions I cam across the Bucket Head Shop Vac.  The Bucket Head attaches to any standard 5 gallon bucket and… vacuums. When I need to remove pellets from my pellet smoker, I just vacuum them out.  When I’m done I detach the Bucket Head from the bucket and put a regular lid on for storage.  It works great!

I only use this for pellets so I don’t have to worry about cross contamination with dirt and such.

5 Gal. 1.75-Peak HP Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum Powerhead with Filter Bag and Hose (compatible with 5 Gal. Homer Bucket)

Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application.  Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application.  Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Rodney Scott’s World of BBQ, Kindle Edition

Rodney Scott's World of BBQ: Every Day Is a Good Day: A Cookbook Kindle Edition

Rodney Scott’s World of BBQ: Every Day Is a Good Day: A Cookbook Kindle Edition

From the book  description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time Out, Food52, Taste of Home, Garden & Gun, Epicurious, Vice, Salon, Southern Living, Wired, Library Journal • “BBQ is such an important part of African American history, and no one is better at BBQ than Rodney.”—Marcus Samuelsson, chef and restaurateur

Rodney Scott was born with barbecue in his blood. He cooked his first whole hog, a specialty of South Carolina barbecue, when he was just eleven years old. At the time, he was cooking at Scott’s Bar-B-Q, his family’s barbecue spot in Hemingway, South Carolina. Now, four decades later, he owns one of the country’s most awarded and talked-about barbecue joints, Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ in Charleston.

In this cookbook, co-written by award-winning writer Lolis Eric Elie, Rodney spills what makes his pit-smoked turkey, barbecued spare ribs, smoked chicken wings, hush puppies, Ella’s Banana Puddin’, and award-winning whole hog so special. Moreover, his recipes make it possible to achieve these special flavors yourself, whether you’re a barbecue pro or a novice. From the ins and outs of building your own pit to poignant essays on South Carolinian foodways and traditions, this stunningly photographed cookbook is the ultimate barbecue reference. It is also a powerful work of storytelling. In this modern American success story, Rodney details how he made his way from the small town where he worked for his father in the tobacco fields and in the smokehouse, to the sacrifices he made to grow his family’s business, and the tough decisions he made to venture out on his own in Charleston.

Rodney Scott’s World of BBQ is an uplifting story that speaks to how hope, hard work, and a whole lot of optimism built a rich celebration of his heritage—and of unforgettable barbecue.

Kindle Edition books can be viewed on your Kindle Device or on free reader applications available for your iPhone, Android or Windows smart phone – and  for your web browser.

Hands on Review: ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE!

Thermapen ONE Brisket

The Thermapen is a thermocouple thermometer produced by ETI, Ltd and sold by ThermoWorks. It’s used by restaurants, home cooks, homebrewers, grillers, bbq-ers and more.

Here’s an in depth hands on look at the latest iteration, the Thermapen ONE starting with a history of the Thermapen, accuracy and response time tests and lots more.

Limited Time DEAL

Black Friday Sale on ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE!

History of the Thermapen

The Thermapen was introduced in 1992. The original invention of the Thermapen was by Electronic Temperature Instruments Limited (ETI, Ltd.) of Worthing, England. Each subsequent version of the product has been engineered and manufactured by ETI, Ltd.

Thermapen was the first thermocouple thermometer designed for commercial and home kitchens. Prior to that time all other thermocouple thermometers were designed for science and industry; and were much larger, handheld devices with separate probes. These were generally priced at about $200 or more (after purchasing a probe).  Keep in mind that’s in pre-1992 dollars.

PizzaCraft Pizza Que for Kettle Grills

Replicate a traditional wood-burning pizza oven using your charcoal grill! The PizzaQue® Pizza Kit for Kettle Grills converts your grill into the perfect pizza oven in just minutes. The kit will allow your grill to reach cooking temperatures up to 900°F. The cordierite baking stone within the kit absorbs and evenly distributes heat, eliminating hot spots. Your pizzas will cook quickly, evenly, and with that great smoky, authentic flavor. The kit works with charcoal, wood chunks or similar fuels. Pizza cook times depend on how hot your fire is. With coals alone pizzas will cook in 5-6 minutes at 700°F. By adding wood chunks and stoking flames in the back of the oven, pizzas can cook in as little as 2.5 minutes at around 900° F. The PizzaQue® Pizza Kit for Kettle Grills Includes: • One 15″ Cordierite Pizza Stone. Replacements available.

  • Flex Door With Hooks
  • Stainless Steel Kettle Converter with Thermometer
