    LG 900

    Here is my LG900 update... I used the unit for several weeks, and continued to see fluctuation in temps. My results were still very good, but I felt I was monitoring the temps too much. Sort of defeats the purpose of getting a pellet smoker, right? Eventually, I had major temp drop. To...

    Pulled Pork - no wrap

    I normally go at 235 for Pork Butts, but I wanted to go over night and work on a great bark. I have let them sit in cooler wrapped in towels for as long as 5+ hours. I just don’t want a dry puller Pork because of not wrapping. I went 210 to prolong the cook.

    Pulled Pork This weekend

    LG 900

    LG 900 has been assembled and started first burn. I set to 500 degrees and let it run. The burn generated a lot of ash that covered the entire inside of the barrel and grill plates - actually, everything. I shut it down and left it to cool for a few hours and then cleaned it up. Shop vac’d...

    My name is Benson, and this is my Brisket story... My first full brisket smoke. Previously smoked flat only on two different occasions with decent results. Landman Great Outdoors propane smoker (not the wide one that easily holds a full brisket. 15+ lb packer brisket purchased at Costco...
