I was about to jump on the KJ bandwagon pre covid. But I've been following along with a KJ Facebook group and it appears KJ customer service and warranty turn around and impossible to non-existent right now. Just more food for thought. I heard in the past customer service was great but it is...
Check brickseek.com to look for a deal at your local walmart on the 560. They are on clearance this time of year. I found one a few weeks ago for $275 and then a few days later a different walmart in the area had them for $150. If you can find one on clearance its worth giving a try. For...
Thanks, I have 2 different 4 prob inkbird temp monitors. The local wally world has the 560 on clearance for $275 I figured I could make it work at that price so I picked one up at lunch time. Let the adventures begin.
It would be occasional. Very very occasional probably once or twice a year. I have an 18 WSM and weber kettle that I could fire up if the temp difference is very significant between the top and bottom racks. I admittedly have a problem as I keep adding cookers.
Out of curiosity does anyone know if the 560 will fit 2 average 15-18lb packer briskets? I'm thinking of picking one up but that's my only capacity requirement and I can't seem to find an answer.
I feel like I should chime in. I have an 18 WSM with a temp controller and it is "set it and forget it". An 18 WSM in my neighborhood can be had used for ~$100- $125. I got one over and BGE or Kamado joe based on price. I've followed some facebook groups for the K Joe and found that the...
@chilerelleno first thank you! Most of my untrimmed packers are ~14-16lbs so either technique seems like a good option correct? Also do you go fat cap up or down?
Currently I've been doing mine at 250 for the whole cook and been running 14-18 hour cooks.
So I've done a few low/slow briskets so far with good to excellent results. However the cook times have been pretty long which sometimes I love. I'd like to try one this weekend using a hot and fast technique. But I do know were to start. So for those of you that are cooking brisket hot and...
@EdP I have an 18 wsm and also wish I had the 22 but mine was new "used" and $100 so I'm not complaining. I am waiting on the masterbuilt gravity 1050 as I would love more capacity.
I follow this guide in trimming and I havnt had a bad brisket. There is minimal trimming between the flat and the point.
I follow this video for my cook
I know this didn't really answer your question but I just thought I'd share what works for me.
What type of smoker are you using for...
It seemed inevitable this year and is the right call. I hope everyone is do well. There will be plenty of time after this mess clears up to meet everyone.
I currently have this baby quarantined in the WSM. I'll just have to keep practicing for the next one.
A WSM and a bbqguru temp controller is pretty much set it and forget it. I have one and really like it. I also have an inexpensive pellet popper and it does some things really well but you still need to keep an eye on it. This week during a cook the auger jammed up and I had to pull my...
