    Holding whole butts at 135*F overnight vs. refridgerating and reheating

    Just curious if it will dry out? Serious question because I really dont know. When I make jerky, it is at a low temperature for a long time. Granted, my jerky is thin strips not 2" steaks, but I'd think the same principle would apply but over a longer duration.

    Wow, small world. I used to take old 135 into work (in Kilgore) each morning. Now I mostly take highway 135 in, but it totally depends on my mood for the morning. I'm didnt notice any thin blue smoke coming from that area of old 135. Have you been smoking long? I've been at it for quite a...

    The Mid-week Special!

    I used to carry a P-38 on my key ring. I did for many years until I got tired of it putting holes in my pockets. Hadnt thought about that in years actually. Time flies...

    Pellet Grill Flame Out…Fix

    Mine does not work this way. Start up temperature is 150. Once the pellets are lit and generating smoke, I can set the temperature to whatever I want say from 150 to 300. If running really low temperatures then I run the risk of a flame out. If I want to crank it up to something like 400...

    SOS - My first attempt at smoking ended in disaster

    I've caught my smoker on fire twice, and I can personally attest that it is pretty unnerving. First time I panicked and did my best to get the combustibles out (and burned myself and left a nice charred spot in the front yard). Our situations were a little different though. I use a pellet...

    Pellet Hopper guard

    Took mine out as well. I think it is better and easier to ensure pellets properly feed to the auger. No problems so far. I haven't even got my fingers caught in the auger.... yet.

    Pit Boss Vertical smoker heat runaway

    Here is a roast on the smoker with the crisping pan. I usually use two pans to set up a labyrinth where the smoke is channeled across the meat. Like I said, sounded good in theory, but provided negligible results. Grease cleanup is fantastic though. The roast was excellent, by the way 😎.

    Pit Boss Vertical smoker heat runaway

    I agree bigger cooker is the solution to some of life's problems. My issue was not with grease. I always use a crisping pan underneath what is cooking, so every single bit of grease is caught in the crisper. The crispers go in dishwasher afterwards. There is no grease anywhere near my fire...

    Pit Boss Vertical smoker heat runaway

    I should add that both times I had the run away temp was when I was smoking at really low temperatures and after a previous really long smoke. Probably not applicable in your case.

    Pit Boss Vertical smoker heat runaway

    I've had that happen to me twice after a previously really long smoke. I vacuum out my smoker (including the fire pot), and I have not had that problem since. I've had mine for 6 months now and it is typically very stable. Good luck.

    I really didn’t care about smoking this chuck roast today

    That looks delicious. I think you talked me into smoking a chuck roast this weekend.

    GRILL/SMOKER HACK??

    I've tried a pellet tube on my gas grill. Problem I experience was the fact that all the pellets in the tube burst into flame when I opened the lid. Someone on SmokingMeats suggested I put the tube inside a pan that I can cover when I open the grill but I have not tried it yet.

    Pellet smokers have irregular cook temps

    My PB 4 generally holds within +/- 10 degree F of set point. Weather here in east texas has been pretty consistent. My only issue is when running at the smoke setting I've experience a few flame outs. Afterwards, the flame pot filled with pellets, then were set off by the igniter. The...
