I hope Cowboys lose and Jerry Jones chokes on a turkey bone.

So that's basically a big air fryer/convection oven, right?

Pretty much, works pretty well on birds of any sort.

So the drip juice collection tray can it be used for the dripping and gravy etc. Many times I find it gets to hot and burns on grills. This is interesting as I was going to smoke the bird on the Camp Chef pellet grill I purchased but I just wasnt happy with results my first smoke with it.

My drip container sits over my water bath, if you are smoking at 200-225 you can put onions carrots etc there to cook. I use then for soup but...

I cook on racks like this :

or


Placing a disposable roasting / baking pan on the drip tray should work but you can always lift it off slightly by using a cooling rack. Drizzle and brush with EVOO and put taters, carrots, onion, garlic there to cook. I try to keep a little liquid in there. I am sure that on a long cook you may want to remove earlier. but with fatty meats I never do. All smokers are different. I know your heating element is bottom center so you just have to try and see.

Remember you need a water bath/ tray for moisture.

Does Camp Chef have a smoker group?




Tell us about the 1st smoke in another thread?

Well on this thing the drip collection tray is below all the heat so you can use it. It is double walled and the propane burns between the walls so no direct heat.

Here is a picture from a previous cook I did.

I've done a combo with this thing and smoking in the past, start the bird on the smoker for a while at a low temp then finish in this.

Interesting may have to head for liberty as its 79.00 at Academy Sports. They also have Masterbuilt butterball electric oil less deep fryer that you can at wood chips and smoke while frying for same price.
