Probably getting one of theses:

Char-Broil Oklahoma Joe's Highland Reverse-Flow Smoker

Any comments?

 

My Nacho's turned out great, ended up having to do more chips/cheese the first two pans went super fast lol.

Ya use a real good pellet and you will get a better smoke flavor out of them, was night and day when I switched over.

 

I'm right there with you. This past winter is the least amount mine has been used during the winter since I got it. The few times I did use it I wasn't pleased with myself freezing. I have the thermal blanket (which I took off last week on our 72 degree day) so when I did the pork for the nachos Saturday I burned a LOT more pellets because it was stupid cold again.

 

My problem is I always cook to feed an army. Good part is we always eat well for a week after a smoking session. lol

 

We've been waiting.

I've found on pork lately I am using a little less of the original and the pork is coming out with this awesome sweetness with only the tiniest amount of heat on the back end. If I add more the heat dials up which is fine with me but not so much with the wife at times.

Has taken my pork tenderloin game to a whole new level. Went to the local grocery and picked up a few tenderloins this weekend on sale. Normally $14-15 each but with the sale I got them for $4.96 each.

 

Ya Lumberjack themselves sell it on Amazon now. Last bags I got was on Amazon and came right from them. Once we get moved I will be ordering again.

 

I use a pellet smoker myself.

 

I have a charcoal smoker - Brinkman, the "ECB".

 

Good food grade pellet's are made with PRESSURE. You put in a whole tree and squeeze it till a little pellet comes out the other end.

 

Huh, sounds like what I do internally to brisket.

 

Buy 2 and give me 1?

 

Here ya go..

That'll work right there

 

Gotta love Texas

$7 for a bag of post oak chunks

 

Damn I would say that's a pretty damn good price...send some my way. That's the only wood I haven't tried!!

 

whats the difference between a Big Green Egg and a Kamado? Preference, price?

 

a BGE is a Kamado style cooker. them vs competition is subjective, but they have a very large following. There is an upcharge for the green paint Personally, i prefer red and would go Kamado Joe if/when I do.

 

TW express?

 

Unless you were already referring to Kamado Joe...
