    Wind - Prevent smoker from tipping over - Temporary weights/anchors?

    You can buy lead shot in plastic bags that are cinched with steel ties. The plastic is not light stabilized so you would have to change them every ten years or so. I doubt any water could get to the lead. But sand is much safer.

    Bullseye Knocking noise

    Check the vents at the back of the grill. If they plug, you will get smoke our of the hopper.

    Wind - Prevent smoker from tipping over - Temporary weights/anchors?

    Instead of sandbags, go to a sports store where they sell lead shot. It comes in 25# bags and some in plastic bags that should last through rain and snow.

    RT-B380

    I am 2+ years into my Bullseye. I also am an amateur griller. My first impression of the Bullseye was how hard it was to keep the temperature setting. After the first few cooks it settled down to what I think was normal range for a Bullseye. I never got to 750 degrees but got close a few times...

    Rescue Brush and Grill Grates

    I've used these grill gates for about 2 years. I heat my Bullseye to 500 degrees and brush with the GGs. The only problem I have is to clean the bottom of the grill I have to wait until it cools so I can turn it over and reheat. I use the pads for 5 or six cleaning and then replace. On my next...

    Combustion Inc. Predictive Thermometer with Range-Extending Booster?

    Jim, what do you cook with the lip open? I don't think this thermometer will work with the lid closed?

    Bullseye A love hate relationship

    I've had my Bullseye for over a year. Once I noticed smoke coming out of the pellet storage bin. My cook was almost finished so I finished and shut down. The next day, I checked the vents, and they all were closed or close to being closed. I carefully open them with a small screwdriver and...

    Vacuum the Ash only once a year?

    I have a bullseye and vacuumed the fire pot after my 3rd cook. After another 10 cooks looked are the fire pot and it was the same as it looked before I cleaned it after my third cook. The ash seemed not to change. Now after 40 cooks, no change in the amount of ash. I use bear mountain...

    Bullseye First Time Using Bullseye

    I do the same thing. I set the temperature at 400 until I see smoke. Mu bullseye increases in temperature fast so I usually go to 200 until I am ready to put the meat on. My bullseye goes from 200 to 400 in a few minutes. The only other comment is that when new, the temperature swings are large...

    Bullseye After one year

    When my bullseye was new, I cleaned the fire box after 4 cooks. I used a shop vacuum and had a few unburned pellets but little of no ash. Since then, I have probably cooked 50 times without cleaning the fire box. It starts every time in minutes. What I want to know is will it just quit working...

    I use disposable aluminum pans under my bullseye and when things get gross I clean the pan and recycle it and place a new one under.
