    pellets vs chips ,Master built Sportsman Elite 30'' Electric Smoker

    I have had pretty good luck with the Traeger mesquite chips I started using a few weeks back.  They may not be the best brand to use, but they will last quite a while, compared to the 5 pound bag of wood chips I used before.

    pellets in Masterbuilt electric

    I've done quite a bit of smoking over the long weekend and am looking forward to trying the Amazen pellets. Getting pretty tired of loading chips and dumping the tray. For those who have used pellets for a while, how economical are the pellets vs chips?

    Just started smoking a chuck roast: Need Advice

    I only rested mine for 30 minutes, in beef broth, and it came out fine but not quite as tender as I thought it would be. If I had let it rest for an hour or more would it have been more tender?

    Brined checked legs
