Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

New to me BGE XL kit.

I did get rid of the cabinet propane smoker Thursday so I had to get back to 5

 

marinade
high heat sear/high heat cook (quick cook depending on thickness, but usually pretty quick)
rest

Fajitas!

 

I thought about a BGE but their prices stopped that thought. Just wanted way more than I was willing to pay.

 

agree completely. And I've always wanted the XL for the size but they are spendy new! A friend called me and said he wanted to unload his. Used sparingly over the last year, came with nest, shelves, tools, plate setter, cover, and all for $650... How could I say no?! worst case I could flip it, but I don't foresee that happening. I've wanted one for a long time. And It helps expand my hoarding... err... collection!

Ya I wanted the XL also. Was over $900 for just the BGE I was over $1500 by the time I added all the accessories I wanted for it. Was too much for what it was. $650 is an awesome deal.

 

Exactly. I would've kicked myself if I passed on it.

 

Just get rid of the gasser.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

 

Not sure why I hold on to it... convenience factor I guess is what I tell myself.

 

SmokerWorld right there.

 

Need a reverse flow stick burner

Gravity or Antimatter

 

Gravity is very costly

 

Gotta wait til the price comes down to earth.

 

No other way to describe that Rascal other than “The Bomb”.

 

I used one a few times last month. Just lacked any additional flavor. As soon as the cheap pellet pooper was assembled I went back to that. Night and day flavor difference. Gasser hasn’t been touched since and likely won’t by me. I would like a Webber just to get the charcoal flavor on steaks now and then but ain’t paying the Weber name tax.

 

Weber 22 is <100 at times new. Or Craigslist. But get the 26

 

Don’t Shun the gasser just yet. I’ve had pretty good results using pellets in a little side box for quick cooks. Not spectacular but at -30 beggars can’t be choosers either.
