    Compatible pellets for Z Grill

    im sure they are good but they are expensive to what you can get at your local walmart. Pit boss hickory is around 9.00 for 20lbs and less that 20.00 for two bags equaling the 40lbs here. And you dont have to wait for them to be shipped and there might be other local options. A lot of people...

    Any Input On Pit Boss Pellet Smokers?

    i cold smoke cheese/butter/salt/eggs and so much more in my pellet smoker. I just use a tube in the bottom of the cooker and use the shields and pans of ice between the tube and what im smoking to keep the temps down. another nice thing about CC is they have the ( just pull a rod) ash cup dump...

    Any Input On Pit Boss Pellet Smokers?

    Pellet cookers make smoke from temp swings. Its kinda like a campfire where when there is less fire there is more smoke and when the is more fire there is less smoke. On the CC cookers you can cook from 170-500 and also have high and low smoke setting which produces the same smoke but at...
