Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

But you're close to the beach!

 

LOL, came out Atlanta, GA 4 hours down the road from me. Little bit further trip for you...

Edit: it was delivered by USPS. Lazy mail carrier jammed this thing in my mailbox on top of the mail hanging halfway out, door wide open instead of walking 30 feet to the front door.

 

Anyone use lumberjack charcoal/hickory pellets before??

 

Have a 11lb (probably about 10 after trimming) pork shoulder. How long should I expect it to cook. Going low temp 200-225

 

I haven’t used them but been thinking about their full charcoal pellets. Wife likes some steak on a charcoal grill.

 

12 hours.

 

Tried to get a brisket, they only had a 20lb’er. Can’t fir that on my smoker.

 

Just a simple bone in rib eye and a couple Elk medallions.



I also had some potatoes in the ashes and added corn and garlic bread at the end.

 

We gonna work in the shop tomorrow installing some new cabinets and going to cook also.

Make it bigger

 

Was looking at the extension ring from cajun bandit. Just haven’t got one yet. If i did, i could hang it.

 

Too bad someone couldn’t fab one for me!!

 

Probably can if I new what you wanted.

 

Just joking.

But this is what i was talking about.

That’s a neat add on

 

I could fit so much more

 

Should just order it and be done with it as much as you cook.

 

I don't own a pellet pooper but have been playing with pellets and smoke trays and tubes on the gasser for when it rains and winter.

Started with

BBQr's Delight Wood Smoking Pellets - Super Smoker Variety Value Pack - 1 Lb. Bag - Apple, Hickory, Mesquite, Cherry, Pecan and Jack Daniel's

these and used both tray and tube. They are for flavor and specifically say not for heat in pellet grills. But expensive as hell.

Used JD last weekend and did a small ham, Italian sweet sausage, peppers and onions.



Wrapped the ham with butter, brown sugar and honey for an hour and a half and was tender as hell. Still deciding on the whole pellet thing, though it was damn good.



Last weekend shot 5 stand at a place that had a Runnings Home and Farm near it and picked up a 20 lb. bag for $8.99 of the Lumberjack competition blend. Pretty

$60 Lumber Jack LJACK40-Blend 5086 40-Pound BBQ Grilling Wood Pellets, Competition Blend

high reviews on Amazon figured for the price WTH worth a try.

And did a $50 a lb. Wagyu ribeye with squash and bacon wrapped asparagus with the lumberjack pellets competition blend.







IMO the Lumberjack pellets were just as good as the much more expensive pellets. But not using a pellet pooper so may not be of much help to you.

I'm still not convinced on the pellet thing but they are convenient. Not thirties below zero or raining right now. So snake and wood chunks are my preference.

Started at 4:30 today and still going to be awhile before my simple meal for supper is done. But I know it will be worth it.

 

Probably right. I dropped hints for my bday, and she tried, but they were back ordered.

Today, I just dropped $200 for kids school clothes, $100 on wine for the wife, and $320 on a gun for the kid.

Maybe next month.
