It looks like some kind of wire rack/grill/BBQ scraper for different widths- pretty much the same this one on Amazon

u/MOS95B · 10 pointsr/3Dprinting

I know that the printing would be part of the fun, but these are available commercially and affordably (and designed to be food safe)

> you need to pressure wash that stuff off

Be extremely careful using a pressure washer on your bike, especially near the chain and the wheel bearings. Water under high pressure can easily be forced past the chain's O-rings and the wheel bearing oil seals, and they will be ruined soon.

Best way to clean the chain is with kerosene (AKA paraffin) and a brush. I like my Grunge Brush for this task.

u/w0lf3h · 7 pointsr/motorcycles

I use kerosene in a spray bottle as a cleaner. Grunge brush and/or toothbrush and shop rags to scrub. Maxima chain wax to lube. Have had good results.

u/OneMansTrash · 7 pointsr/castiron

I prefer metal spatulas too. Just make sure it doesn't have sharp corners. I bought this one and filed the corners round.

u/kylemaoin · 7 pointsr/motorcycles

Clean with kerosene, lube with Maxima Chain Wax. Only other things you'll need are a grunge brush, rags, and a cereal box or something to put between the chain and wheel so you don't get it covered in dirt and lube. Watch a couple short youtube vids and you'll get the idea.

Everyone prefers different products but that's what I use. Stay away from WD40 simply to avoid the grief of listening to people argue about how it is/isn't a lubricant and how it will/won't destroy the chain.

u/sadist-trombone · 6 pointsr/food

You can get a similar kebab skewer maker for home use on Amazon, however if you happen to be that person who needs to produce 10,000 kebabs before the lunchtime rush, then the awesome folks at kebab-machine.com have you covered.

The Great Scrape The Woody Paddle New All Natural BBQ Grill Scraper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013S1SM4I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_t2bViPepWhxsW


I use a wire brush then go over the grill with my wood paddle

u/validrouge · 5 pointsr/keto

Check out a grill mat. I just got one a few weeks ago and now I grill all the time. It's easy to clean up, and you can grill all types of foods you'd normally not be able to "grill". I have this one grill mat Using the grill mat should make the shrimp grilling much easier. You can also do veggies and other things that would otherwise fall through the grill.

edit: additional context.

Get some rib racks like these and utilize that 22.5" WSM rack space. You can probably fit 5-6 racks of ribs on the top rack of and another 5 on the bottom. Use the 3-2-1 method: that's 3 hours of smoke(225°F) then wrap in foil with liquid of choice(I use apple juice/cider vinegar 1:1) and cook for another 2 hrs, then unwrap and sauce and leave to cook for 1 additional hour. If using baby backs, use a 2-2-1 method instead. The meat should pull back from the ribs when they are done.

I would plan to have 1/2 rack of ribs each per person. Even if your guests dont eat all of them they're very easy to freeze for a rainy day.

u/kriswurt · 4 pointsr/BBQ

THIS The wood scraper he is talking about. I have one and it works great.

u/beefpoke · 4 pointsr/BBQ

Get one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Outset-Dual-Rib-Roasting-Rack/dp/B0037NZ7BY/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_0

Lay it in the middle, lay the packer brisket over the top. As it starts to shrink from cooking you can remove it. And 19+ pound brisket will work fine on the smaller WSM.

u/mjxii · 3 pointsr/motorcycles

no. All chain maintenance can be done with rear tire still on. Can you imagine if you had to remove the tire to lube the chain? PITA just thinking about it.

get a grunge brush

u/OccasionallyWright · 3 pointsr/Foodforthought

These are really effective and last for years if you store them properly.

u/sexdrugsjokes · 3 pointsr/TalesFromYourServer

That's pretty smart. I actually recently saw an ad online for these non stick silicon mats for the bbq that might work really well for you. And I'm totally going to suggest that or the aluminum to my friends :)

u/Trazac · 3 pointsr/motorcycles

I use Kerosene to clean my chain. It's called Paraffin in other parts of the world. It's cheap and will last a long time. Buy a gallon alongside a spray bottle. Pretty sure it's well recommended for chain cleaning, but maybe someone will correct me.

I use a brush like this one. There are many like it, but that's the one I've used. Makes cleaning the chain a bit simpler.

u/jimbene14 · 3 pointsr/BBQ

Slow n' sear plus a gasket kit make all the difference in the world.

like Alt4sniper said, it is a high temp gasket. here is the product I bought

u/Duke_of_Ledes · 2 pointsr/smoking

I ordered this gasket for it. The old one had disintegrated long ago. I'm also considering getting a cast iron grate.

u/SilenceSeven · 2 pointsr/castiron

I only use metal (stainless steel) spatulas etc..

Make sure if you buy a spatula the corners are rounded. I've seen ones that are very stiff and have squared off corners. The corners are sharp and I could see how they'd dig into the seasoning.

u/Aragorn- · 2 pointsr/motorcycles
  • For cleaning: DuPont Motorcycle Degreaser

    I used to always buy those until every can at Walmart started leaking directly from where the nozzle attaches instead of spraying out through the straw, so I stopped buying it. People in the comments also say the formula isn't as good as it used to be. Since then I've been using WD40 as a degreaser which works fine, but kerosene can be used as well.

  • To make your life easier: Grunge Brush

    You're going to save yourself a ton of time with one of these. Get one. Spray, brush, wipe with rag, repeat until clean.

  • For the end: DuPont Chain Saver

    I've been using this every time and it is great. Most people will recommend it. Make sure you get it on the inside of the chain as well as the orings. Gently wipe off the excess so it doesn't fling all over your bike.

    That chain of yours looks like death and has probably never been cleaned before. Get as much crap off of it as you can, then see if there's any significant rust or oring damage. If the chain is that bad, I can only imagine the chain slack is terrible. The owner probably also neglected to do simple things such as the brake fluid or coolant, maybe even tire pressure.

    Edit: Clean the sprockets while you're at it.
u/TheBadSpy · 2 pointsr/pelletgrills

Here you go - FireBlack34 for Big Green Egg SMALL MEDIUM & MINI 3/4 x 1/8 Black Hi Temp BBQ smoker Gasket 15 ft https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015DAI8K0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fzV4DbZ87BYG3

That’s the one I got. They have different lengths and widths to work for whatever grill. I went with 3/4”. The 1/8” you’ll see mentioned is the height of the material.

u/celestiaequestria · 2 pointsr/motorcycles

No.

You need a Grunge Brush and some degreaser and chain wax. A rear stand will make the entire process much easier - I'd recommend getting a Pitbull since unlike calibrated tools like a torque wrench - it's a one time purchase.

An automated system is missing the point, when you're cleaning your chain is also the time to check the chain tension, sprocket wear, clean off the chain guard, see if your front sprocket cover is bogged up with debris, etc

u/BravoFoxtrotDelta · 2 pointsr/BBQ

Since you've got those, I don't think you need the slow-n-sear, but I don't own one, so I can't comment authoritatively. You'll be able to do what you want with those baskets.

If you do find yourself in accessory-acquisition mode, I most highly recommend a Vortex. I've had great luck with a diy-version of the same, and use mine for high-heat sears, low-n-slow cooks, direct, indirect, etc.

Nice weber you got there. Cheers!

u/-skank_hunt_42- · 2 pointsr/StonerEngineering

This is the silicone stuff I usually use, if it helps

u/Bacun · 2 pointsr/OklahomaJoe

For those interested, here's a pic of the inside.

Here's a list of my mods.

  • Grommet on the side for probe access: So handy! The most useful mod. I used this titanium drill bit to create a hole large enough. It took me about an hour of sweating my butt off with the drill to make the hole. I feel like this mod is a must because if you use any kind of probe this will be a lifesaver. Constantly closing and opening the lid of the smoker with the wire in the way will eventually damage the wire. With this grommet bypassing the door entirely, you don't risk damaging the wire anytime you open or close the lid. If your hand slips when opening the lid and the lid slams down, it can CUT the probe wire! Lifesaver indeed.
  • Lavalock Thermometers x2: I bought two of these for both sides. Tested them for accuracy with boiling water and they work pretty great.
  • Lavalock Gaskets: I used these to seal the lid of the main chamber. It helps create a seal for lower smoke leakage.
  • Clamps: These make 100% sure you are airtight when smoking. When used together with the gaskets, I get virtually no leakage from the main chamber. One annoying thing though is that the clamp installed on the side of the fire chamber can get in the way of you opening and closing the fire chamber lid. But, overall I'm happy with them, especially for longer cooks.
  • High Temp Silicone Caulk: This is a MUST. The areas around the smoke chamber leak smoke SO MUCH. I've used it to seal around every nook and cranny of the fire chamber and it's done wonders.
  • Water pan: Not sure if this counts as a mod, but it's just a simple steel water pan.
  • Oklahoma Joe Firebox Basket: The reverse flow smoker came included with this. I think the regular Highland Smoker does not have it. In my opinion, it is extremely helpful in maintaining heat throughout your cook and makes the temperature fluctuate less.

Ich wohne in den USA und hab keine andere Wahl. Ich habe dieses Gerät für $45 gefunden und nach etwas Ausprobieren kann ich echt respektabel Döner machen.

In den Staaten ist Fleisch extrem günstig, aber gutes Brot zu finden ist fast unmöglich- ich benutze Tortillas als Dürum-Ersatz - sind aber nicht ganz richtig. Ich muss lernen, wie man Flasdenbrot bäckt.

Aber die Kosten:

  • 2kg Hänchenbrust: ~$7

  • Yoghurt (für Sosse und als Marinade): ~$2

  • Gurke: $.50

  • Knoblauch: $.25

  • Tomaten: $1

  • Kohl: $.50

  • Zwiebeln: $.25

  • Tortillas: $2 (10er Packung)

  • Queso Fresco: $2

  • Chiles - $.25

    ~$16 reicht für 10 Döner mit extra Fleisch (billiger ohne Queso Fresco Käse, schmeckt aber viel besser. Ich have auch Gemüse Döner probiert - ist auch nicht viel teurer.

  • Plus Gewürze (teuer, aber man hat die schon wahrscheinlich zur Hand
u/J_F_Kevorkian · 2 pointsr/biggreenegg

Yeah it's really only best to do this to get the egg up to temp quickly prior to putting food in (E.g. 6-700 degrees for a pizza). They sell a bbq dragon (http://www.amazon.com/BBQ-Dragon-Charcoal-Supercharger-Fireplaces/dp/B00FPZY92A) for this purpose, but a hair dryer does the same thing. Gets you up to temp in 10-15 mins rather than one hr.

My pal brought a portable bbq (which was awesome) but I brought one of these which allowed us to cook eggs, bacon, grilled cheese and pancakes throughout the weekend. Can't recommend enough.

u/peterlcole · 1 pointr/BBQ

This is the stuff I used. Not as a replacement, but in addition to what came with my Akorn to seal it up. Worked well.

u/DeadFable · 1 pointr/AutoDetailing

Heres how I detail both of my DR650s. As some of you might know I'm 100% rinseless. I don't think theres a good way to clean a chain with out water so I have always done a 2BM wash on my motorcycles. Now for motorcycle customers I don't clean their chain that is on them. That is a primary maintenance item that I will not do. The risk is far greater then the reward. Hope you enjoy the video! Edit: Side note took me about an hour for one of the bikes so about 2 hours for both.


List of everything I used:

u/Gludius · 1 pointr/smoking

Yes it works well. I had to use acetone to clean the surface before I stuck it on. This is the tape

u/Vtrossi · 1 pointr/smoking

It’s basically a clip on, electric fan. Wind + coals = higher temps for cooking. Check it out

u/dlicky123 · 1 pointr/smoking

I wound up with two of these and with the seals I haven’t haven’t experienced any leaking.

But I’m hoping for the some luck with my bird too 16 lbs estimated at 9hr 20 mins gotta start by 3 so I could have it done by noon

u/im_nobody_special · 1 pointr/smoking

My dome thermometer doesn't work but I don't care because I have an Weber iGrill, 4 probe wireless thermometer. I use one for grill temp and the three others for meat temp. I bought the Cajun Bandit door because it looks and seals so much better. I was still losing a lot of smoke around the lid so I bought this gasket. All I did was clean the lip around the barrel and it sticks just fine. I also bought the grommet and drilled the hole for it. It's not necessary but I like it better this way.

u/eac555 · 1 pointr/BBQ

This looks pretty good. A universal scraper.

u/JThoms · 1 pointr/smoking

As some added clarity since I use the same smoker, I ordered this and used it last weekend and it was amazing. I was able to get at least 6 hours of burn. I was making ribs so it only took about 5-5.5 and there were still unashed coals left. With it I can maintain a solid 250F.

I leave the stack damper/lid fully open. And I've insulated my doors with this. And for filling in around the seams, such as the stack or the firebox I purchased this. Those both will take about 24 hours to "cure" according to the directions.

Otherwise I think it's a solid entry-level smoker and hope you enjoy it!

P.S I know someone may ask if that charcoal cage was worth it and the quality is great, the inserts turn it into a snake method cage , and it feels quite sturdy.

u/tonedef85 · 1 pointr/smoking

I have the same model and absolutely agree with everybody that said seal it first. Use the high temp rtv on the mating surface between the firebox and the smoker and the two pieces of the firebox. Then use the gasketing tape on both doors. I even went a step further and prep the surface with the flap disc on my grinder first. Lastly and I highly highly recommend start a large very hot fire in the firebox before you do any cooking and burn off the coating of paint on the firebox. You don't have to get it all off but most of it otherwise there will be a very noxious smoke coming off while you cook. I used a block of wood and scraped it off when it gets all melted to speed up the process a little bit.

u/sgtdan707 · 1 pointr/VolcanoVaporizer

So this exact thing on my knock-off is stripped. That disc is threaded and should screw back on. If it has been ripped off, chances are that threading is gone. What i did is apply a small ring of 550° heat resistant adhesive (glue). I bought this silicone based adhesive off Amazon and it cured in a matter of minutes. The glue was very inexpensive and I believe it was designed for gluing parts of a smoker back together.

I applied a thin-film with a toothpick, making sure to use just enough of the yucky-smelling adhesive around that threaded piece. The first time i did it, I hardly used any and that sucker didn't move for 7 months. Popped off once and this time i used the product a bit better.

I filled the chimney about a 1/3 full with charcoal and with the fans assistance the coals were bright orange within minutes.

u/ZedAvatar · 1 pointr/motorcycles

You're thinking of a Grunge Brush

u/TomNJ · 1 pointr/BBQ

Seal it up well! Install a high heat gasket like this around both doors. Use high heat silicon to seal any joints. The key to working with an offset is to be able to completely control airflow. You can't do that if the thing isn't sealed well.




Make sure the smoker you buy is a good quality steel too. Ultra cheap offset smokers use very thin grade metal that won't properly hold or distribute heat.







I was buying bags of Kingsford smoking logs at Home Depot, but at $18 per cubic foot it was getting expensive. I sourced a firewood supplier in my area that sells hickory and bought a bunch of it for much cheaper. I'll probably still go to Home Depot for mesquite since I use it less often and it's impossible to find in New Jersey.

Just a former dishie and not endorsing this particular product, but you want a vertical rotisserie grill similar to this one or this one. Has the added advantage that you can also use for doener and shwarma.

(Have one that works great and that was only 30 EUR through amazon.de, but I cannot find it on amazon.com)

u/PendingDeletion · 0 pointsr/canada

Really surprised that in 200+ comments not one person has mentioned grill mats. I know they are relatively new but if you've ever used one, not only does it solve this cleaning issue (by essentially eliminating the need to clean the BBQ altogether), it also solves two other incredibly common BBQ issues; food getting stuck or falling through the grills.


https://www.amazon.ca/BBQ-Grill-Mat-Set-2/dp/B00C1LWE32


These are also sold at Canadian Tire, Dollarama, etc.

You still get grill marks and now you can toss things like chopped veggies or small shrimp right on the BBQ without having to use a pan or tinfoil.
