    Louisiana Black Label 800 Smoker

    Thank you for the response, I have swithced it to all over the place in the backyard and yes it is plugged into the GFI, I am using a 10 guage extenssion cord as well. I will try other avenues and see if this fixes the issue. I appreciate the feedback.

    Louisiana Black Label 800 Smoker

    So this is going to be a long thread so hopefully you have the attention span. Bought the Louisiana Estate BI 2018 and have had nothing but issues with it, fires, leaks and control panel failures. I am on my 3rd one now, to be fair they have been good on the customer service side and on this...

    Griddle For Pellet smokers

    Thanks all, just trying to add to my set up, I got a kamado, a built in gas and a pellet grill. Wanting to do different stuff and maximize what I have. Love the Blackstone but not sure about adding another big "grill" to my space. I appreciate all of the feedback and will keep looking.

    Griddle For Pellet smokers

    Who has purchased griddles to add to their pellet smoker and do you like them? I have a louisiana and the fire pot is on the left side so I am concerned it won't generate the heat in the funnel section of the griddle to work well. Anyone have any suggestions?

    First smoked Rib Eye

    I smoked the ribeye to 120, let sit for 10 mintues that seared for 1 minute per side. Wound up slightly past med rare, will probably take off next time a few degrees cooler or not sear it as such a high temp.

    Louisiana Estate 860BI

    New to pellet smoking and using this is concert with my Kamado. I love the easy cooking with the smoker but it seems like I get more of a smoke flavor from using my Kamado. Am I doing something wrong or is this typical? I love the versatility of the Estate but wondering if I can add smoke flavor...

    First Time Pellet Smoker

    Thanks Fella's yea going to try to see how it does. I am considering using my kamado for most of the smoke cooks and the Pellet for everything else. One thing I am excited about is that here in AZ it gets real hot in the summer and would like to use the oven setting on the pellet instead of...

    First Time Pellet Smoker

    I am new to pellet smokers. Finally had the chance to build my outdoor kitchen. I already had the Vision Kamado and needed another grill and not a propane grill.
