Not my dog, i love the breed though. I loved the avatar because my wife thinks i look at her that way when she ask`s me a question, lol. I lost my Black Lab, "Missie" a couple years ago, she passed away in my arms from cancer. At my age, i don`t want to get another dog again, she was...
Ryan @Brokenhandle has you covered on the basics.
Cool weather is your friend.
I have limited days in Florida, but I still got in a couple of rounds.
I'm still in the window here in Minnesota and will cold smoke a few bricks
You will not be able to use your Bronco with any kind of fire to smoke...
I disagree, not the best advice IMO.
With a traditional off-set you can likely get away with that door crack, but a pellet grill is a automatic machine. As such if you crack the door the machine will simply keep feeding pellets trying to overcome that and stabilize temps. This creates an even...
You know I hadn't considered that, although it seems obvious now that I'm reading it. It doesn't scratch the itch for a new toy, but makes much more economic sense!
...after a single round is due to the size of your smoke chamber. You need more smoke in a 250 gallon unit than a single tube produces.
I get really nice color and flavor in a kettle after a single round of smoke with a pellettube.
Smoked cheese needs to age at least 2 weeks. Longer is better
Given that I use my pellet smoker for sausage, (with cure#1 added). I usually run just a smoke tube a few hours before actually starting the grill. The lowest setting on mine is 150°, so I run there awhile longer until I have the color I want, then poach in sous vide to 151° for the finish...
Bet you'll get many recommendations for a rectec smoker. I don't own one but most that do, love them! A pellettube can always be added for additional smoke if you want.
Happy New Year

Hi there and welcome!
Good work on the smoker, it's looking great!
Are you wanting to permanently mount the PID or just be able to ensure it sits well on/against the smoker?
I ask because most of us have PID controllers we can easily remove from the unit. My current PID sits on top of my...
Welcome to the party.
Even in "smoke" mode a pellet pooper does not produce much flavor
A lot of people use something as this to supplement the smoke production

As many of you know I burn a lot of pellet dust in my tubes and it's worked quite well for years for me.Yesterday I had not much to do and had a nice little pile of oak sawdust and packed a tube with it and it didn't work out so well.I'm kinda looking to see just how thin and barely perceptible...
I'll be blunt, I don't like this Smoking Dad guy. Neither does Mrs Okie.
And I also don't like subjective taste tests in these YT videos. That varies from person to person and really doesn't tell me anything.
I do think his cost comparison was about as objective as that kind of thing...
A Smokehouse to the size you want... Just a basic plywood cabinet...PID controller with electric heat elements... Pellettube..
That's my set up... No babysitting... The controller is programmed to ramp temps up over time...
I hang sticks in it ... Lite the pellettube after an hour and a...
as much as I hate to admit it. when pork tenderloins go on sale, I inject with Tony's garlic and herb. Stick in pellet pooper @225, the baste with BBQsauce when almost done.
I also add about a 1/2 tube of apple/hickory pellets
Pellet does seem to produce less smoke than a stick burner. You can drop the temp to the 180-200 F range to get optimal smoke from a pellet. You can also add a smoke tube as well that will give you about 4 hours of smoke.
