But if your husband really likes it Smokey wood flavor on his meat you better stick with a offset smoker. Would hate to see you get a pellet smoker and regret ever buying it . Maybe if you know someone that has a pellet grill maybe see if you could taste with some of the meat taste like when it...
Are you that sure that you want a pellet grill?
Is your husband in love with that deep down Smoky flavor when you bite into that barbecue ???
If he is then you better start looking for an offset smoker because pellet smokers won't give you that flavor that an offset smoker will.
I was burning...
I'm new to using a vertical pellet smoker. And had it for seven or eight months now and 90% of that time I only got white smoke out of the pellets I went by and I had several brand.
I tried to order Royal oak 100% charcoal pellets but what I received was Royal oak pellets when I specifically...
Pellet manufacturers are not regulated to what they can say on their packaging about what type of wood is in the pellets.
That's why I'm running in circles trying to find pellets that will create blue smoke instead of white when all I can find is pellets that only give off white smoke. Poor...
If the outside of your pellets are shiny and smooth you just might need a little more fire to get those pellets burning whether it be butane or a propane torch or an electric charcoal starter neither will work.
My first mistake starting out on and offset smoker would be thinking that white smoke was all that I needed.
Using green wood that wasn't seasoned
And the last mistake was putting too much wood in the firebox
And here's another one not knowing when to add fuel to your fire. There is an...
What are you trying to light your pellets with? If it's a match it's not going to work. You need something that's going to put out a lot of energy like a butane torch of some type or an electric charcoal starter that has a fan and a blower on it.
Seriously man you need to find a tupperware type of container to store those pellets in because they turn into a water monster and they will suck the moisture out of the air like you wouldn't believe.
If you're finding they are hard to light that's probably the problem because they're too...
If you have your damper cut back quite a bit that can cause smoke to build up in your smoker and it will seek out ways to leave wherever there may be a crack to sneak out through.
Moisture could be the culprit with the pellets not burning completely.
You have to store your pellets and something that you can seal so the moisture in the atmosphere will not be absorbed by the pellets because they are very very hygroscopic. Do not leave pellets in your Hopper after a smoke...
I've read another article about moisture in split wood for offset smokers or the moisture content was 20% put offset smokers same to handle that amount of moisture fairly well.
I read about a pellet manufacturer wanted to try 5 to 10% moisture leaving the pellet dies.
I thought about starting...
I had to go back and put the space in between the paragraphs.
I miss two or three paragraphs at the end before I sent it but I'll do better next time...
Some people say STOP SHOUTING AT ME , when I type.
I have concluded that large letters mean you are shouting but I type with large letters sometimes because it's easier to read sometimes when the lighting isn't good enough. Some people can't stand to read capital letters.
I have never been...
Well I'm learning how to write on the internet now. So glad to get a few lessons from somebody that loves barbecue.
Anything's liable to happen while I'm typing and it's all because of where I live I'm just lucky to get it typed out while the phone still has enough signal to function. I'm typing...
