🔥 Feed the Flame! 🔥

[The Burn]

A couple of nights ago. That point just before the top goes to ash



And then into the Smokenator



Tonight, getting ready for the fajitas in the Cooking thread

[Huskee]

Nice! I love running my chimney at night for this reason. You miss the flamage when doing it in daylight.

[Guy]

Hey guys these are great pictures. I love seeing them. Do you all use phone cameras for any of these pictures or does everyone use a normal camera. I have not posted any pictures but would love to do my part.

[The Burn]

I took these with my iPhone. I've always got it with me, logging my cooks, so it's handy. I never remember to have my DSLR with me when a good photo op arises.

[Huskee]

I use my phone. It has an 8mp camera and does a fair job of bright daylight pictures. Not so hot in low light but that's any camera phone I believe. I use Windows gallery photo editor (the stock included photo program) to edit or clarify if necessary.

[Marauderer]

I use my phone sometimes and then I have a Fuji camera that I use most of the time.

[Guy]

I should probably not ask this on a Barbecue site. I have a Droid and it is not easy to get pictures off. The only way I can do it is to email them to myself from my phone. Is that how everyone does it?

[Huskee]

Unfortunately that's what I do Guy. I also have a USB cable that, if I have a lot of pics to transfer, I will hook that up.

If I want to share 1-5 pictures, I will just email them to myself. A slower process, but it works.

The mobile version of this site won't allow me to attach a photo from my Android phone, even though it goes through the motions and looks like it will work, it wont work. I suspect many have this issue too, and we hope the newer version of vBulletin fixes this.

[Marauderer]

Guy, I have a Galaxy Note 3 and I have to do it just like Huskee does. That's why I try and keep my camera available. I also have a web site that hosts my pics. SmugMug.com. It is a paid site but I like it and I can just copy a pic there and paste it into my post. But not the comment section.

[Marauderer]

Copy and Paste.


This Meatloaf was not good. To Dry, my fault, not enough fat in it other than that it was excellent.

[The Burn]

Not at all Barry - just bustin' on you

[Marauderer]

Tb, that's what I figured but, They told me I have to play nice here so I am trying. You do know what the word "Try" means?

[JohnF]

Yes Try means you will find a way out!

[Marauderer]

Dave, I sent you a PM about the Pics.

[David Parrish]

Roger that. Thanks

[Beefchop]

The Harry Soo Donut.

[Huskee]

Is that live? Are you cooking now, if so what?

[Beefchop]

I wish! I shot it on Veteran's Day and forgot to upload it to the site. Cooked a 5 pound pork cut with some chicken breasts...part of my experimentation to run my cooker without water. I'm finding it harder to keep the temps down here in LA and may go back to using my water pan!

[The Burn]

The Vortex on my Performer doing indirect ribeyes, with the sear to come (which is when the flames came out). This thing really kicks out some heat.

[Jon Solberg]

Needs work but what the heck...

[Huskee]

Pretty cool Jon. I agree with cdd, a night shot of that would be pretty neat too...but you don't have to do it just for us.

[Jon Solberg]

I may give it a try but I'm not sure how the go pro will pull off the low light.

[cdd315]

Needs work but what the heck...

That is so cool! I wonder if you would have done that at night what it would look like?

[troymeister]

Nice little Steak

[troymeister]

Don't know if this one counts.

[Huskee]

Nice pics troymeister! Tasty & Toasty I shall call them.

[David Parrish]

This thread really needs another pic of the Vortex!

[David Parrish]

It really does. The thing is so hot I was flipping every 30 seconds. 1 Minute would have been too long.

[smarkley]

Nice.... I was hoping you would put that pic in this thread!

[Jon Solberg]

It does get hot. My faux vortex (angle food cake pan) burned thru on the second cook. Looks like I need to pop for the real deal

[Huskee]

Jon you need to instruct us how to make a GIF, or animated picture. I think flickering flame pics would be awesome in here. Like Meathead's banner at the top of the AmazingRibs.com main pages, behind the logo. (Did anyone notice they flicker slowly?)

[Jon Solberg]

I alway noticed that nice glow.

You can make them from video or stills but you need a tool. Not all on-line tools will do video.

Heres a few on line makers;

Lots apps out there for Android and iOS as well.

I'll play with some in Photoshop just for fun.

[The Burn]

Something about the coals/flame in a Vortex that is just mezmerizing

[David Parrish]

NICE. We just need some marshmallows.

[Huskee]

We just need some NY Strips, Ribeyes, Filets, shrimp....THEN marshmallows!
