...Did :
Provolone , pepperjack, sharp white, and swiss.
The cheeses were taken up to room temp before smoking.
Went 6 hours, refilling the pellettube once at half way mark.
Let cheese rest after the 6 hr time in the smoker just leaving the doors open in the cold temps for Hour or so.
Right...
I just got a Pitboss Austin XL on FB Marketplace. Everything seems to run fine but when I did a test run, I just worried that there wasn't enough smoke being produced. I know I want the "clear blue smoke" so not seeing smoke is actually a good thing, I just wanted to see what people think. Do...
Sure. It's a metal tube with holes in it. I just take a fistful of pellets and put them in there, light one end, blow it out, and then put it on the grate.
A-MAZE-N pellettubes is the name brand. But there are tons of knock offs. You burn pellets in them for extra smoke. There is also a tray that can be used with pellets or dust (pellets turned into saw dust) These cost in the $25-$30 range. I use a tube with pellets for smoking pork...
Last couple of smokes on the pellet pooper had been having issues keeping the pellettube lit. It would light and smolder but when I put it inside the cook chamber it would go out. I typically toss it into dishwasher every once in a while but it did no good this time and also have a dedicated...
Never have had a problem keeping a pellettube burning in the Camp Chef ........ more like they want to burn too fast. Elevating the lit end slows them down.
There is a U-bolt mod posted in the forum that does the same thing. I just use a piece of angle iron.
Thank you..it bakes cake better than my regular oven does. I tried that Cameron's oak dust I had when I first got the roaster, but the dust goes right through the holes of the tube.. and I can't even use the dust to fill in with other woods I have 😞. Gets really messy inside the oven too. Today...
...My smokehouse is 36" x 36" x 48" ... The reason I use two is for a quicker recovery after opening the door...
For smoke I use a pellettube as I never really cared for the pump style smokers as it looks like the smoke is too white to me instead of the thin blue smoke we strive for...
Keeping temps in the 100’s is not for pellet pots. Pellets are for bbq and grilling temps.
An electric converted to PID (as mentioned) is a better option. Propane can work too, that’s what powers my big smokehouse.
What are you wanting to smoke?
They look great did you run it at 250 the whole time or let it cook lower at first for more smoke? Any plans on adding a pellettube for a little more smoke if your use to a stick burner?
I have a GMG pellet pooper and it works well with all pellets EXCEPT the Royal Oak charcoal
pellets. Those pellets are harder than others. I could hear the auger struggling when I used
those in the hopper. Since then, I use Pit Boss in the hopper and Royal Oak in the tube. I also
put hickory...
...bought a bag of bear mountain wood pellets before doing research and finding out wood chips are preferred in this type smoker. Should I take the pellets back and get chips or am I good to use the pellets? I've read that to use pellets I should get a pellettube attachment, is that really needed?
Those ribs look so good...I'm hungry.
I run a large or a small smoke tube depending on the length of the cook. For ribs I run a short tube. Too much smoke on cold/cool meat can get bitter. Too much smoke at the end of the cook can get bitter.
Amazon sells various smoke tube knock offs...as...
I went from burning wood to cook to using a pellet machine. it is different. Nothing tastes like wood coals, even though pellets turn into wood coals. It's not just smoke, it's a whole different profile.
I get enough smoke. I use a tube if I want to hit something for 2-3 hours (like burnt...
Fairly new to smoking. Had to give up motorcycles, long distance hiking, and welding due to a heart condition so I figured if I was gonna be pudgy I might as well eat good. I drug out a Brinkmann Electric that belonged to my dad that had never been used, found a rub recipe and a blog about...
only pellets ive tried were in a tube on my gas grill so i cant say on a fancy pellet grill/smoker. i like wood chunks. pile of coals in same chamber as meat my go to. less fuel less adjustments.
maybe you could rent or barrow one for a weekend and see how you like the end results before...
This is what I did using a pellettube on the grill before getting my gravity feed.

Been running a Austin LX for over 7 years, I have never over smoked anything with it, I run a smoke tube most times, Might as well start in the oven if 2 hours is all the smoke ya like lol. spritzing every 30 minutes or so helps, on a stick burner or other charcoal fired units you really slow...
