Watch the video...wtf, those ribs don't have any sauce on them uke:

Seasoned stainless steel?

$169?

I got mine for $30. Suckers!

Weren't they $35?

Screw Emeril!

It looks exactly the same. I wonder if Orion screwed up on a copyright or something. Maybe they even sold the design to that Deuche?

Not a fan of Emeril. Actually, not a fan of most culinary 'stars'.

Even the name plate looks the same. I'm guessing Orion's manufacturing them under contract, in which case, good for Orion- I bet they're making money off it and selling a lot more than they do through Home Depot.

Good for them for sure. I still think it's pretty Deuchey that Emeril is claiming that it is his design that he's been working on for the past year and a half. I think it would be more genuine if he said he has partnered with Orion and now consults on the product.

It's the Emeril tag that took a year and a half to design. The choice between stainless rivets or solid gold was a tough one.

Home Depot has Kingford charcoal, 2 twenty pound bags for $8(I think Lowes might have it too for that price)

Do you guys clean the inside of yours or just leave it and consider it "seasoned"?

Depends on how much of a mess I made with the last use! I always line the catch pan with aluminum foil so the majority of time I just peel that layer of tin foil(usually pretty stuck to the pan do to the remnants of the beer I poor in the pan before cooking and the drippings of meat and sauce) and then remove the pieces of whatever type of woodchips I used and that's it

That's pretty much all I do too! just wanted to make sure I wasn't suppose to be scrubbing the inside walls after each use.

Sauce? You sauce stuff inside your Orion?

Occasionally i'll start the saucing of ribs before I cook them - a bunch more after too. Mainly though i'll sauce while cooking if i'm cooking chicken breasts/thighs/wings or salmon on the horizontal racks

Smoked our Thanksgiving Turkey in the O (R2BBQ)for the third year in a row. 20lbs in 2.5 hrs. Once again it was great. I let my old man season it and I "cooked" it.

R2BBQ will make its first appearance of the year at our Pats tailgate this Sunday. Ribs and wings. I have a nonbeliever coming who says there is no way I can do ribs in 1.5 hrs and have them be any good, can't wait until he eats his words.

Fired up the Orion for the first time in awhile today.

Studded a Pork Butt with Rosemary, Thyme and Garlic and cured it with Kosher Salt and Sugar overnight



Rubbed and ready for the Orion



3 hours after the Orion works it's magic



Pulled Pork from the leftovers




Also did a Bird and a small slab of bacon, which were both delicious as well.

I'm doing a whole chicken in mine for dinner tomorrow. Already have the bird prepared and waiting in the fridge.

we missed you at dinner, I was hoping you would bring desert.

i also ended up throwing a rack of baby backs in with the chicken.....hmmmmm

Breaking out R2BBQ this weekend for a camping trip. Going to do 6 racks of ribs as an appetizer for the group. I may throw a small bird in as well.

They make a deeper drip pan now. It helps on larger cooks. While your at it, buy a can of their rub.

I had my first not so great cook in the O last weekend.

Ribs came out a little on the "not super tender" side. All 6 racks got gobbled up but those of us in the know knew they were not my best effort.

I attribute it to the meat, but maybe I pulled them out a little early.
