    Pit boss pellets question

    As for the orange pellets from BBQ delight, they really do impart a wonderful flavor to smoked chicken for example. I smoked some chicken with pure orange in the stovetop smoker, then put them in an orange juice based sauce and cooked them for a short time in the oven. The result was...

    Deceptive Labeling on smoker pellets

    Thanx Bmudd...I love his Maze style pellet smoke generator. It makes life much less complicated.

    Hi, I'm Peter

    I live in Gig Harbor, WA and I'm recently retired from the entertainment industry. I enjoy smoking fish and am slowly branching out to veggies and cheese. Soon I'll consider smoking various meats with my holy grail of making a killer pastrami. I live on the water and watch the native American...

    Deceptive Labeling on smoker pellets

    If you're a newbie, beware of the deceptive labeling on smoking pellets. Old timers know that the pellet companies will often label pellets as a flavor wood in large type "Apple" followed by 100% Hardwood. Right there you know you're getting a blend. They will try to persuade you that it's...

    Pit boss pellets question

    I spoke directly with the BBQ Delight people and they told me that the only people who buy the big bags use them in auger feed smokers. The also said that they have been advised that the 60% hickory or alder needs to be there just to keep those smokers feeding and burning properly. I believe...

    10 Days to Pastrami Heaven

    That is one hell of a big step to cheat on...and the most important. Do not expect great results. It's not going to happen. Go for it and go all the way. You will be glad that you did.

    Please help! Too much Prague Powder??

    Don't feel bad. We all make mistakes...just be glad you checked in here. Don't try to save it. Nitrite is tricky stuff and is toxic above recommended levels. But without it we would not have some of our favorite meats...Pastrami, for example.

    They say the auger feed smokers need the hickory to keep burning. It they word the bag to s seem like it is 100% Apple. Pure corporate dishonesty.

    Orange wood

    BBQ Delight tells me they have no plans to issue a 20lb bag of pure orange pellets because the pellet feeder smokers require oak to keep the flame going. I will say that their bag of one pound pure orange works well in the A-MAZ-N Maze style smoke generator works well and stays lit. A handful...

    Orange wood

    I see your point Zendau, but don't you ever get tired of advice that starts our "Well I've never done it but..." True that person may have words of wisdom to impart. But, the guy asked specifically for personal experience. The answers were mostly generic that I'm sure he already...

    Orange wood

    Hi everyone. I'm glad there is a forum for discussions on smoking. I noticed that drunkenmeatfist asked if anyone had experience smoking with orange wood...his first few answer came from people with absolutely no experience who advised him about orange wood. Would it not be better if someone...
