I have a Pit Boss 820 pellet grill.      It's has enough room for what I normally cook and is only $399 right now at Menards.  I would love to some day own a more expensive one, but for my budget right now this is great.  I have smoked chicken quarters, pork butt, ribs and beef brisket on it...

Thanks!

Welcome to the Indiana Group chipmanbbq!!  Is Bloomfield down near Vincennes?  

I have been to the prized pig.  It was OK, but the burnt ends that I got there were a little dry.  I think it may have been because we arrived in the afternoon and they may have been sitting for awhile. Have you been to Frankie's, yet?  The one on Washington street in South Bend is very good...

Thanks SmokinAl!!  I now have my wife talked into letting me smoke brisket more often :)

Too bad you don't have Meijer stores down there in Texas because Chuck Eyes are on sale for $3.99 this week in Indiana.  I have not had any problems ever grilling chuck-eyes and they have been my go to steak for the past couple of years.  I recently purchased a pellet grill and found that they...

This past weekend I celebrated my 43rd Birthday with friends and decided to smoke a brisket and some ribs.  I started on Thursday night with a 15.1 lb brisket and injected it with some Beef Broth and then salted it and let it sit for about 24 hours. After letting it sit for 24 hours I rubbed...

I've used B&B Pellets that I picked up at Walmart and they weren't too bad.  I've heard that they are BBQ Delight pellets in different packaging, but they don't say that anywhere on them.  

That looks great!  

That looks great!  I think I need to break out my pizza stone and try one on my grill.  I think mine only goes to about 500, but I think that should be warm enough.

That would be awesome.  PM me and let me know what works for you and I'll see if I can.

I'm having grill envy right now...LOL...I did 4 shoulders in mine and it was filled up.  That's a lot of pork in there!  Looks great!!

Looks good!!  I may need to smoke some ribs on mine soon, too :)

I was able to finally use my smoker to smoke something fun this past weekend...I was tasked with making pulled pork for 60 people at a friends 40th Birthday party and smoked 4 Pork Butts. I started on Thursday evening my making my Rub (a variation of Jeff's rub) and made an injectable marinade...

I bought my Pit Boss 820 a couple of weeks ago and I do notice some temp fluctuations of about +- 20 degrees or so, but I make sure not to watch it too long.  The food I have cooked so far has come out as well as I could expect.  I'll be smoking 4 pork butts tonight in it and I'll be sleeping...
