Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Had 5 of the 10 20lb bags delivered yesterday. Came out to about $3.30 a bag

 

Better hide all that Zach is out of pellets.

 

Heading out to a buddy's land for the weekend, and will be using a "grill"? Hope i can remember how those work....

 

LoL.

I’m out of town so he’s best bet is Costco or HeB

 

heading to California so I made my friend pick up an old weber kettle for me for $40

They want good Texas brisket, they better get me the tools I need

 

Was this anyone on here? Saw this on Reddit

 

Well after a “nothing goes right” kind of morning, I finally got my butt on a couple mins ago. Only 3 hrs later than I hoped



Started out I couldn’t get to sleep last night then finally fell asleep sometime early morning and didn’t hear my alarm go off. Then had a new propane tank and hooked it up and the blasted valve was bad from the exchange and blowing gas out when turned on, so had to take it back to the store and exchange. Now having to go into work for who knows how long on my day off

But on a good note I’ll have some (hopefully) delicious pork tonight

 

I hate issues like that...hope it turns out good. Looks good starting out.

 

you'alls food looks amazing!

 

I've had nothing but trouble with propane tanks, don't really have any place close to have them refilled at a decent price, so I end up just exchanging them. I'm researching and saving my pennies to get a good pellet smoker hopefully later this year don't think I have the patience or talent to deal with a stick/charcoal burner lol

 

No your pain on the exchange tanks, it is hit and miss for me. Slowly weeding them out and just biting the bullet and having mine refilled.

 

Pitboss is a good pellet smoker...you can get a 22" weber and then put a temp controller on it.
I found a smoker in decent condition next to my dumpster...only needed a couple bolts and everything was there. I welded a couple grates and added a side fire box which cost me more than the smoker I just need to seal it up better.

 

Place down the road charges $28.88 for a metered fill 20lb'er. Canadian Tire & Costco charge $9.99 flat rate. Pays to drive that extra mile for me.

 

Got pic's

 

had a 20lb tank "filled" and the guy shut it off at 3.4 gallons! WTH...the gauge barely read over half full.

 

I had a pic somewhere, its just basically a charbroil smoker. I need to paint the side fire box since it burned off the factory paint...

 

see thats weird to me...if we bring our tank in the just charge us for what they put in the tank. No service fee or whatever.

 

I have a 300gal tank with a wet leg. I refill my own tanks. Now I just need to get another LP grill. I'm thinking about getting rid of the 22" Weber, I just don't use it.

 

I've been looking at Pitboss closely. Actually found saw an ad at Rural King yesterday and I'm not sure if a typo or what but I about made a road trip. Unfortunately the closet one in stock was over 400 miles one way from me. And even tho it shows ship to home it wasn't available to do that
