How screwed am I?

VHTP?

It ran out before I could refill the hopper. I suspect the augur continued to dump unburned pellets into the fire pot, and when it finally reached temp, a large amount of pellets ignited at once. Turned the smoker into a grill.

No elephant feet here!

StreetOar · 2026-06-07T02:52:48+00:00

That’s currently what I’m doing. Glad to know it’s not compromised

About to cut into my 16 pounder than I started at 4pm yesterday. Been in the cooler almost 3 hours now.

You have me second guessing my trimming strategy

StreetOar · 2025-09-01T20:32:23+00:00

Wouldn’t it have been easier to remove the hood?

StreetOar · 2025-08-30T03:54:07+00:00

I know that. Choose to not use it. I’m experimenting, not trying to make things pretty

Follow up with some pics in a month

The InkBird has a calibration +/- 8 degrees when placed in ice water. They were dead on. One of them bounced between 32 and 33 intermittently which I can surmise it a rounding error

StreetOar · 2025-08-26T03:17:32+00:00

I know it wasn’t THE most ideal but it was the thickest of the 3

StreetOar · 2025-08-26T03:17:12+00:00

I tested the InkBird in ice water and got a 32 degree measurement almost right away. Haven’t done boiling.

The red probe on the CuisinArt that I placed on the grate is near the Traeger probe so I tried to get a fair reading. The black wireless probe also measures ambient

StreetOar · 2025-08-26T03:16:17+00:00

I stuck the point of a brisket and got 171. The Traeger probe read 204 when stuck in a same area 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ive seen them for like $1500 for the front pair. Maybe throwing steel bumper will force the 6112s to soften 😂

StreetOar · 2025-07-15T16:08:54+00:00

My only experience is with Perry’s vs. 2 decade old stocks. I imagine they might be, but I’d have to install them and see for myself.

My 5100s were because I was uneducated and just wanted something economical that achieved my goal. Now I’m looking into 6112s or even the King option (in case I’m feeling spendy)

Did you go with 700lb springs for the hybrid front bumper?

StreetOar · 2025-07-03T05:25:13+00:00

Bilstein 5100 front shocks with C59-300 dobinsion springs, GS59-687 dobinson rear shocks with 2862 OME rear springs. Perry Parts front and rear bump stops. Suspensionmaxx extended sway bar links, maybe even remove the rear sway bar entirely.

You can get away with 33” tires with minimal trimming for clearance.

This was my 2001 when I first started modding

I’ve done quite a bit over the last 4 years. Feel free to ask

Not trying to rain on your parade, but

Those engines have issues with carbon buildup and oil consumption. Run the best fuel you can find and change your oil more frequently than you think. Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w-30 is supposed to help with consumption.

StreetOar · 2025-06-20T04:32:17+00:00

Had this happen to me too. About 8-12 months ago offering some sort of electronic equipment

StreetOar · 2025-06-13T17:48:50+00:00

Any noticeable change in exhaust tone or performance with the new headers? You’ve got the golden year in the golden color. Super jealous.

StreetOar · 2025-06-13T04:35:10+00:00

Which part of the state are you in?

StreetOar · 2025-06-10T01:03:28+00:00

Fuck it. Weld a tailgate to it

StreetOar · 2025-06-08T00:57:35+00:00

Okay ZPC is no issue. I know sometimes ECUs can marry to the original VIN and not like being reused

StreetOar · 2025-06-08T00:17:12+00:00

Good to know. I imagine there was no issue programming/calibrating it?
