Title: TBE
Post by: JZ on December 04, 2011, 08:53:52 PM
Not sure if I should post this here, nut since everyone swears by these for poultry I will ask here.

Does anyone know where in BC Canada that I can get one of these - ya I know this is the wrong time of year to look for a BBQ related item.

You might want to try one of your Home Depot up your way...

I have previously checked out the local Coscto and Home Depot ..... neither one has them. But it is probably the wrong time of year to be looking anyways.

Gus - thanks for the link but now I have a new problem. I see on this is site that there a multitude of products available, TBE, SRG, Electric SRG and on and on. Now I have too many choices.

I know I can convince the wife to get yet another outdoor cooking device because she really likes the chicken from the Bradley except for the chewy skin. So I tell her that I need this new thing to crisp up the skin. So I can get away with one device and I better make sure it is the right one. So what is it ----- TBE, SRG or electric SRG and if I get an SRG does it replace the DBS since it also smokes?

Lowes here in Alabama have plenty on hand and I know one of the Home Depots does as well.   Check on-line for their stores you can get a real good deal on one.

I would recomend the SRG if you need a grill as well

I would get the SRG since as Tommie says you can also use it as a grill. I wouldn't say it replaces the DBS, rather it compliments it. I don't think that its "smoker" ability is that great for longer smokes unless you do some of the mods that Tommie has done. (Tommie ring, some vent holes). However I did do a lamb roast with some pepper, rosemary, thyme pucks chopped up that worked great.
So if you are going to get one, I would get the SRG if the budget allows. I don't know enough about the electric version. May be good for roasting but I don't like an electric grill.

I found a pretty good deal on Amazon.com about three weeks ago, free shipping here in the States.

You guys south of the border get all kinds of good deals.

Since I already have 2 Bradleys and 2 good quality grills/BBQ's so there does not appear to be an advantage for me to get the SRG instead of the TBE, unless there is something else I am not aware of.

Nope. Cause the SRG smoker feature  is pretty much lame. (IMHO) it does do a great job on the grilling and roasting. To smoke in the SRG you need to use a Tommy ring on the bottom. ( all credit to TMB :))

I wish I registered that name  ;).      The SRG will do a good job for an all around cooker but no it's not a smoker.  Now if you make the mods to an SRG that I have to mine, then you will be surprised

Well don't see anything lame about it. It's not advertised as a smoker, from what I see it's just what is advertised plus more. A very versatile cooker. I also use a double gas grill that's not a smoker. I find every new tool ads versatility and with this I hope to have a decent cooker to do meat and things in while camping and to make the skin on foul editable. After smoking the skin is good to chew on and has good flavor but not really any thing I want to swallow. Different folks different strokes I guess.
