Smoked the brisket for 2 hours ~250-275 degrees with competition blend pellets. Pulled the brisket off when I had the color I wanted,and it temped at 165. Wrapped the brisket and putting it back on until ~200. Also put the loins on at this time. Same temps as before. The pic doesn’t catch the...
Have a fishing trip coming up and volunteered to do dinners. 4lb brisket flat and a couple pork loins. Nothing special about the loins, just store bought pre seasoned/marinaded. Seasoned the brisket with kosher salt, coarse pepper and garlic. Then seasoned with an OTC steak rub. Here’s the...
Tl;dr version: pull birds off smoker at temp, cook birds at different location.
Full disclosure:
I would say 1-1 1/2 hours per pound is generous; but it ultimately depends on your smoker and the birds. I smoke to temperatures and color so times are always a bit hazy for me. The rougher part is...
Doing some chickens today for Labor Day. Started with 4 birds ~5lb average. Bribed for 9 hrs, drained for 4 hours then dried. Rubbed with EVOO and seasoned with garlic/herb seasoning. Started around 5:30. Going to keep temps around 270-280. Will post pics as the birds come along. Any further...
I don’t have a clue. P3-P5 usually gives me a good range between 225 and 275 depending on conditions. The manual warns you that the fire may die due to slower pellet feeding at P6-P7. I’m planning on smoking cheeses this winter but I’ll most likely be using the A-Maze-N smoke tube for that. I...
Update with brisket. Base layer of kosher salt, minced garlic and coarse black pepper. Then a layer of storebought rub. Then a layer of Montreal steak seasoning. Smoked with competition blend pellets at 250 for 4-5 hours uncovered. Wrapped in foil at 165 internal and smoked another 4 hours until...
This. I’ve never really looked at how hot the ambient air gets but most grills state “do not to use under a covered patio” in the manual. As far as the smoke during startup, my 820FB smokes like a SOB for 5 minutes and then clears out. But that 5 minutes could choke a donkey.
More fun on the Pit Boss this week. Making snacks and dinner for a fishing trip this weekend. Decided on beef jerky and almonds/peanuts for the snacks and brisket for the dinner. I used a store-bought jerky cure/spice and the leanest roast I could find (ended up being a London broil of all...
Just trying to keep the “Why’d you get X when you could’ve had Y” BS to a minimum. Reaseraching before buying it seemed a number of people had issues with temp control. Understanding the P setting mumbo jumbo made that a moot point and it appears to hold temp just fine. Starting the ribs now...
Just picked up a Pit Boss 700FB. Sstarted out a few summers with a gas grill and an A-Maze-N smoke tube. I got decent results but figured it was time to upgrade a bit. Going to try out a couple racks of ribs today. Any advice would be much appreciated...but don’t be a dingus about it.
