Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Went to our local Lowe’s to check out the pit boss on sale and they had one on display. We determined it was a little small for our needs since we have a Traeger that’s similar in size. They say it’ll hold 4 racks of ribs. I took a couple photos for anyone that’s curious to see what it looks like in the real world.

 

I got this for a song at Lowe's during winter: https://pitboss-grills.com/Shop-Pit...s/3-series-wood-pellet-vertical-pellet-smoker

I love the thing. Cold smoke or treat it like an oven.

 

The 456sq" includes the warming rack. 353sq" cooking grates. It's small, but for 2 people I bet it works just fine.

 

Maybe I've had a small stroke, I still don't see the Borg brand anywhere on the first few pages of the link you provided.

 

Same..

 

Not a Sci-fi guy eh?

Ummm.. it was a Star Trek reference and a joke I believe.
I feel like he was just saying that everyone is going to pellet grills/smokers

 

Oh come on! You will be assimilated, as in you will buy a pellet grill!! Get it now?

 

They do seem very well built. After looking at the larger ones the 465 seemed like such a cute little thing. And realized it is perfect size for me, especially as a starter. It followed me home, I couldn't resist.

The Borg, resistance is futile. In other words don't fight it the pellet poopers are taking over. Doesn't matter what brand...



Curt has it right, never thought I'd own a damn pellet pooper

 

Hey I got it! Would have posted sooner but was looking for the clip LOL.

 

And Seven of Nine is HOT!!!

 

Welcome to the club!

 

I think you will like it, small learning curve. And that sliding thing for direct sear.... damn now I may have to buy one. Do they ship?

 

Now I'm tickled that I didn't get it. A non Trekkie or any Sci-Fi guy here.

 

Lol...yeah i wasnt sure if you were talking brand or star trek reference...lol

 

I think I will like it too! Need to haul it in the house piece by piece out of the back of the truck and put it together. And finish chipping ice and shoveling snow on the deck where I want to put it.

Temp is 5 above now and dropping, wind chill is -10. Was thinking after burn in was going to do a steak and use grillgrates for the sear. If it will come up to temp. From what I read think it is safe to start at P2 with these temps. Going to measure it once setup and order welding blanket felt and industrial magnets to hold it on to the outside.

 

Doesn't it have a slideout thing that lets it direct sear with fire?

 

It does have a slider. Thinking the grillgrates should get even hotter with it. Hey I have a new toy to test that theory out



Not sure I am going to get there tonight. Really tired of shoveling and messing with snow and ice.

 

Yes the top part of the heat shield or whatever you call it should slide and you’ll get that direct fire

 

Keep us updated!

Still have 12 local to me.
