    Best bang for buck pellet grill

    Just bought a Big Horn Pellet Grill from Dicks Sporting Goods for under $300 and what an amazing deal! I'm smoking some filets now and I'm totally impressed so far. You can't beat this deal. I know, I've been looking for a while!

    I've got pics on my cell.  I'm not sure how to post them here.  So do you think I screwed up or are they salvageable?  I guess I'll find out either way.  Gotta love this trial and error stuff when it comes to the eats!

    1st Leg o Lamb. OMG!!!!

    Sorry for the late reply.  To be honest, I don't remember the exact time, but I believe it was at or just under 4 hours.  Good luck and enjoy.  To be safe, just monitor your meat probe on the MES and you will be golden!
