New Orion convert

ctenidae · Jul 13, 2009

Was at Home Depot in Norwalk on Sunday, and they were having all sorts of clearance sales. Picked up an Orion for $34.

Cooked 3 racks of ribs last night. I like it. A lot. Awesome.

Sounds like a helluva a deal

Just checked Amazon and they're $169 on there

$34 is a freaking steal man!!!

Congrats on the ribs! It's really hard to screw up ribs in there.

What flavor wood did you use?

No wood, just dry rub and slow slow heat. The wife isn't pro-smoke, but I'm slowly getting her up to speed there. The Orion should help, much easier to control lower smoke amounts.

Off to Home Depot to look.

$34.00 is a complete steal!! That's 1/2 of what I paid for mine.

Thing is super efficient. 1/3 of a bag of charoal, started it up around 4.30. At 10 pm, I went out to see about cleaning up, and it was still hot enough to cook in.

I see some serious beer can chicken in my future.

Johnskiismore · Jul 13, 2009

Off the the depot tomorrow!

The beauty of it is you don't need the can! Just pour the beer into the drip pan.

DUDE!!!....the beauty of the Orion is you don't need to low&slow it.

3 racks out of the Orion in 90 minutes, tops. 10 mins on the grill and you're done.

Anyone else find a great deal on one at HD? Never made it over there myself yesterday; might swing in today.

I stopped at two yesterday and all they had were Brinkmans at full price.

Did the Norwalk store have a bunch of them or did you grab the last one?
