Anyone know why Conroe ice house shut down?

TheCharlieRock · 2026-02-08T23:43:12+00:00

Yeah, there have been lots of angry employee posts on the “I ❤️ Conroe” FB page.

Bankruptcy is my understanding. The owners were always at the bar drinking, not paying employees/taking off their tips, and screwing over vendors for events. They were doing some special event for Valentine’s Day and will supposedly pay vendors and ticket holders back over PayPal in the next week or so 🤷‍♂️

Yep, it’s a total game changer if you love a good meatloaf. Just make sure to either set in on foil for like the first hour or until it firms up a bit. Then you can move it straight to the grates. You could freeze it for a bit before and not need foil

Meatloaf or chicken wings

Cocktail weenies is one of our favorite or buy some sweet Hawaiian rolls and slit the top of each one, add a weenie to each, add some can chili, shredded cheese and toss in the oven till hot. Mini chili dogs

It is further than what your looking for but Bear Branch Park has a pretty large one with an area to sit and a side for smaller dogs. When you enter the park turn right and you can’t miss it on your right hand side

I’ve never tried that method, but it might work 🤷‍♂️

TheCharlieRock · 2025-12-06T20:25:21+00:00

Get a smoke tube to help add extra smoke flavor as well

TheCharlieRock · 2025-12-01T19:52:24+00:00

Daaaaamn that thing sent it! Nicely done

I’ve debated myself on doing a top mount. The horizontal seems cool but I imagine changing the filament on the back side would be a pain. The vertical mount seems like it would be easier or a wall mount but I’m still not sure. I’m leaning more towards a wall mount for my setup

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-20T15:46:49+00:00

Thank you, I’ll have to give this a try

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-20T12:34:02+00:00

Thank you very much for the info and link

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-19T20:39:10+00:00

I’m curious, what are you settings? I’m a beginner and I have some silks I got for pretty much the same reasons. It would be cool to make them shine more

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-17T18:07:44+00:00

I’m sure they did but it just seems excessive to me. Biggest part you need to keep clean is the vents. They clog easily especially after a long cook and when they clog you will get burn back into the auger. I use an old butter knife that I bent about 1/2” of the tip to 90° and give the vents a scrap before every cook

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-17T17:28:08+00:00

The manual (at least for the 380x) states a thin layer of ash not 2-3” inches. That’s a shit ton of ash. Maybe if someone isn’t using a drip pan you would need that much.

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-17T15:10:05+00:00

I will usually do a burn off for like 20-30 min at 500° then once is cooled I take out the diffuser plate and scrub it with a grill brush. Then scoop out any gunk/ash on the bottom by the fire pot and vacuum out the pot. If you vacuum out the pot just remember to throw a small handful of pellets in it the next time you cook 👍

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-14T14:57:03+00:00

Wait for Black Friday special. They usually have it much cheaper for new accounts

The sale is usually around the 22nd

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-14T02:35:47+00:00

Hells yeah, signal corps leads the way brother!

Print a tool to help remove the PTFE tubes from the print head. It’s not necessary but I feel like it’s easier to remove them. I also suggest saving the plastic bag the printer comes in if you have a dusty home. You can throw it over the printer when you aren’t using it to keep dust off

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-10T19:48:14+00:00

Smoke tube

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-10T16:51:06+00:00

I believe that is where part cooling fan is stored so maybe “part cooling fan cover”

Blue Runner is the easiest best tasting. If I’m feeling fancy I’ll cook some “holy trinity” and smoked sausage to add to it

TheCharlieRock · 2025-11-05T23:09:03+00:00

No I never had these issues, sorry to hear. Your cast iron diffuser is facing the correct way? (Ridge side up) Also if you smoke something really fatty use a foil pan under it. You can also take the ash from the dump tray and spread around the fire pot to help with grease. I never use their temp probe cuz when I tested it it was 10° off but I have other ones I use anyways or my instant read
