My favorite wood chips. Can’t find them in stores here like we could when we lived in New Orleans

Although I have enjoyed my Sapphire Grill for almost a decade ,the new Crucible firebox takes the experience to another level. The Crucible comes to temperature rapidly, and provides the ability to hold temperatures more accurately. It is efficient with regard to charcoal usage. It uses far less than my previous fire box. I think it has been thoughtfully designed. Seems they have another good addition to an already strong lineup.

It’s beautiful!!! A work of art.

I purchased the Saffire grill as a birthday gift for my wife to replace a small smoker that just was too small and took a lot of attention. I have only used it 3 times so far. The weather is too hot to smoke during the summer and I just use the gas grill for quick meals. I finally figured out how to regulate the heat and knew that it would take me a couple of days to cook everything I wanted. I cook a lot when I light up a fire because of the heat and will not do it unless it is really necessary. I used the lump charcoal they recommended and was glad I did. They cost more but burn a hotter and longer fire. I decided to purchase the second grid which made it easier. I cooked 2 briskets, 2 pulled pork, 2 slabs of pork ribs and smoked sausage after the fire was cooling down. It took all day each day, but I got it done and was very pleased with the results. I've never been able to smoke a brisket in the past and had given up. Now I will do them more often. I plan to smoke a couple of turkeys for Thanksgiving and expect them to be great. The grill is very easy to clean and I recommend you clean it after each use. I figured out how to catch the grease and that made the job even easier. If you are thinking about a smoker, you may want to consider the Saffire grill. It was worth the money to purchase it and I just wish I'd done it sooner.
