    Louisiana Grills Champion Competition Pro

    Rylan, I have one and my Traeger was better. I would not recommend this grill. I have had this for over a year and have figured out how to make it work but grilling shouldn't be this hard

    Does anyone know a good Pork shoulder recipe ?

    King8834, I do mine similar to ribs.  I rub it with mustard and put on McCormick pork rub seasoning.  Wrap it with plastic wrap in the fridge for 24 hours.  Heat the pellet grill up to 225 and put it on.  I start with the fat side down.  It takes about an hour a pound.  I flip it about half way...

    Opinions on best buy pellet smokers

    Sounds like the put in a lot of work  from their stick burner experience and incorporated it into a pellet grill.  The PID I understand since I use it in other applications.

    Opinions on best buy pellet smokers

    Westby,   I wouldn't buy a new grill without a PID control either.  There are several grills that don't have a PID.  I know that everyone seems to like Yoder and they don't specifically say that they have a PID.  Maybe I missed it??

    Opinions on best buy pellet smokers

    Buckinduck, I would say 10% of my time is jerky or snack sticks.  Sometimes I go to 200.  Usually it is 160-190.  But then I am usually smoking in the spring/fall 40-50 deg weather.  I figure with a PID controller that will allow me to tighten the temp spread.  The only negative is mine only...

    Opinions on best buy pellet smokers

    Gary, I have had a Traeger lil' Texas for 6 years.  The first 2 months I had the temp prob go out.  Warranty covered it and were very helpful.  Earlier this year I had the hot rod go out and haven't replaced it yet.  I am getting +- 30 deg temp swings.  I am thinking about a new PID controller...

    Bitter Jerky

    gomez 93 I use American woodfiber pellets.  They sell them in 15# bags which fills the hopper perfectly full when  empty.  Even though it is a national company they make them here.  I try and buy local.  I will try and open the cap up more to see if that solves the problem.

    Bitter Jerky

    Gomez 93 I cut my jerky thick 3/8" or if they are square up to 1/2".  Kids seem to like it better that way.  I can open my cap more or remove it completely.  I was thinking of going the opposite way so the ash settles on the bottom of the grill since it is forced air.

    Bitter Jerky

    Thanks.  It isn't terrible but not as good as the first batch.  I have about an extra hour on this jerky so I am thinking that it has something to do with it.  How do you keep the ash off of the jerky?

    Bitter Jerky

    I don't have a photo of it but it is easily visible.  I am running it on a Traeger Grill.  I have two racks in the grill. One above the main grilling rack.  I don't mess with the cap and it is open by a good inch all the way around.  I used high mountain jerky seasonings.  The meat didn't seem...

    Bitter Jerky

    Hi all, I made some jerky in my pellet grill and it has ash on it.  I believe it is giving it a slight bitter taste.  How do you eliminate the ash on the jerky?  Can I wash this batch to get the jerky off? Thanks
