Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

It seems to be the controllers on their less expensive models. It really looks to happen when it goes out then restarts (either you restart or it restarts without cleaning out the pot), after @uhplifted had the issue I looked it up and it actually seems to happen with most brands.

I've been super happy with my Traeger, like I said 5 years with it and knock on wood it's never let me down when it wasn't my fault (I thought I had more pellets in it than I did and ran out).

When I replace it in the next couple of years I'm still not positive what I'll get or try to build.

 

Mighty fine lookin eats in here! Im a bit of a novice backyard warrior. Good reason to be standing around outside drinkin beer. Here s a few creations.

Pit Barrel Brisket:



Cowboy Steak. Used KBB and post oak on weber kettle. Salt and pepper and let 'er rip.

 

But does it have WiFi?!?....

 

Wow! That's a beautiful rack you've got!

 

Nope but it only cost $200 on clearance.

 

I'd snag one for that price too! That's cheaper than the WiFi module for my pit...

 

That's a great deal... this time of year is the best for investing in new smokers and grills.. I scored an Austin XL last year for my neighbor for $250 I think.. and then later in the fall I scored a smaller Pit Boss for like $150.. that one is still in the box LOL

 

Good time of year. Lowes sells Pit Boss. Make an offer.

 

Ya I start watching for sales this time of year. Always hard to pass up a good deal lol.

 

If anyone between Austin and Nebraska sees a smoking deal on a pellet pooper... lemme know. I'll be traveling North in December.

 

@Misplaced Nebraskan
This one is sitting in my garage.. still in the box. Might be a little small compared to all the other toys you have though! And no WiFi to keep things consistent.

 

Looking for an xmas gift for the old man... might take ya up on it. I'll see if something else pops up but I don't want him having WiFi either...

 

Hater

 

I succeed not through preservation but by bringing people down to my level

 

Anyone have Temp and Times for a Venison round tip roast?

 

Does anyone know where to get replacement parts for a Louisiana grill from costco?
its this one: https://www.vminnovations.com/Produ...MIruPGwI_H5QIV3v_jBx0eXwEjEAQYDiABEgLAo_D_BwE
The very top airflow dial fell off and the screw stripped the inside of it. I think I can try to find some high heat resistant glue to hold it in. Also, the ceramic portion on the inside broke into a few different large pieces. Could it be fixable with some sort of ceramic high heat resistant glue?

If not I guess Ill have to be buying a new one. Which would yall recommend? I would pretty much that same design, but I know theres a few different good ones out there.

 

How long ago did you buy it?

 

Results of the fatty.

It held out pretty well, actually! It didn't leak any cheese for the first two and a half hours, but the last thirty minutes, it started to leak a little bit. It lost a lot more cheese than I had hoped. I had stuffed it so full that even losing a lot, it was still plenty cheesy inside, but I was going for over-the-top cheesy. The bacon was wonderful when it was pulled from the smoker. Unfortunately, it didn't get consumed for about 3-4 hours, so the bacon darkened and the cheese wasn't oozing. Oh well.

The chipotle cheddar tasted really nice in a ground beef fatty and is something I'd do again.

One slice, even fairly thin, was a pretty sizable serving for a pot-luck style meal. I need to experiment with these big-ass fatties a little more. I see a 5-pounder in my future.

 

Hot damn.
