r/grilling

I’m in the middle of an upgrade to my Black Olive. Bought a Pit Boss controller replacement. I’m hoping someone can tell me a few things. Apologies for the questions, I can’t seem to find the answers myself. Can anyone definitely tell me what each wire does? The unit has a fan, auger and ignition, just not sure what is what? Can the ignition be replaced easily? Controller came with a new one if it’s compatible. The temperature/RTD probe I’m just going to have it sitting in the back of the seal as the two halves close. New to all of this (charcoal) so thanks for the help. Right now the controller starts and then throws a ERR error. White, Black, Orange, Red, and Green wires. Green was grounded to the controller when I removed the old one.

Tried the snake method but could only find lump charcoal. Definitely needed to get the temp under control before going on with the meat as it cooked way too quick and was a good. Would have preferred an even mid rare but I still ate the shit out of it.

Marinaded for two hours:

fresh OJ and lime juice
dap of soy and Worcestershire
Paprika, ancho chili, cumin, pepper, Mexican oregano
Fresh habanero
Light salt post cook

I’m sorry for poor quality. I forgot you take pictures before I cut it on. It’s damn good!

ordered the grill pictured but received a dyna-glo instead, when I picked it up and noticed it was a dyna-glo I mentioned I ordered a char griller. they scanned the receipt (which does say I ordered a char griller), scanned the box for the dyna-glo and everything apparently came up correct. they insisted it was the right one

IDK much about this stuff so I just took it home and assembled it because i was stoked about the grill. but after I started to think maybe I should probably look more into it.

I cannot even find a single picture of the dyna-glo online at all. It's essentially the same exact thing as far as I can tell, give or take a couple differences

is it even worth taking it back to try to get the correct char griller?

Impromptu meal for 5 so kept it foolproof.

Brats boiled in beer (and water) then grilled and Green Hatch Chili links.

An array of toppings - onions boiled in the beer then sautéed with butter, lightly olive oil coated grilled peppers and onions and of course kraut.

Was a beautiful night here in Dallas on the roof deck hanging with new friends.

Went to pickup some groceries this morning at my local H-E-B and found these 4 lbs of 12x 1/3 lbs ready made burger for $5.99 per pack. Picked up two packs. Score of the week.

I’m a lucky man!!!!

The last propane BBQ I bought was a cheap 5 burner next grill. Lasted 8 years but couldn't sear a steak if your life depended on it, and had numerous hot and cold spots. I finally decided I'm going to get a well known brand, and landed on either the weber spirit 425, Napoleon freestyle pro 425 or the broil king 410/420. They come in around $700-800🇨🇦 ( some on sale).

I just came across this today, the PC ultimate grill. Regular $799, on for $599. Each burner is 12500 btu and has an infrared back burner. It is in the price range, but I am afraid to try something again with no reviews. I want to move up a tier performance, I'm not sure if this is it.

Does anyone have any feedback at all?

Kids last award day before junior high, river jump for the exiting junior high kids, couple beers = impromptu flank steak with Chimichurri

Have had my kettle for a little over a month, have tried a few different brands of charcoal and fire starters for my chimney (Never lighter fluid) and have finally got it down. I know the way i like to do it now and have found my groove. Have done Fajitas, Chicken, Sausage, and some burgers. I think i’m gonna dip my toe into the world of Smoking next.
