    My third cook...

    For my third cook I decided to go with baby back ribs. I followed the 3-2-1 method, but decided to skip the last step(1). I rubbed vegetable oil and then rubbed the pork "rub". Let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. Set the smoker at 200 for 3 hours, removed meat applied brown sugar and...

    Charcoal Pellets

    Do charcoal pellets produce a good flavor cook? Should they be mixed with wood pellets? Thanks!

    My second cook - a brisket

    Thank you all for your advise, I appreciate it. I will make a few changes for my next brisket cook including trying to implement the tenderness instead of temperature method of cooking it.

    My second cook - a brisket

    My first cook....

    I first rub it with vegetable oil and then massaged it with a combo of one part kosher salt, one part course black pepper and one part garlic powder. I then massaged it some more with my own mix rub recipe. Will leave it in refrigerator for 24 hours.

    My first cook....

    I chose a pork butt for my first cook. It turned out good and indeed flavorful. My next cook will be brisket, which is presently marinading.

    Newbie here!

    First, let me say thank you for letting me participate in your forum. I have learned by reading many posts on this forum. Since I never smoked any meats I hope to keep learning and someday, perhaps, share what I have learned. I became interested in a pellet grill because my son and son in law...
