    Great Cleaning Pit Boss 850CS

    When my smoker grates need attention, I put them on the gas grill that's set to high heat for approx 30 min. After that a quick couple swipes with a wire brush and they are good to go.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    BTW: you might consider getting a set of GrillGrates. These things definitely increase the amount of heat transfer to any protein.

    Is there any concern of pulling in dirt or dust from the bottom mounted fan?

    Time question

    That's a good reason to always take notes on each smoke and then refer to them prior to next go around.

    Issue with the Lonestar Grillz Pellet Smoker

    One would think the owner should be able to shed some light regarding how pellets could possibly get into that area. Of course, that would be admitting a design flaw and possibly opening him up to being responsible.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    Hmm... a 48,000 BTU propane unit without enough heat to properly sear a steak? Seems a bit odd. Was this grill converted to natural gas by chance? In regard to skirt steak, was the meat blotted dry before putting it on the grill? This can help.

    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker Needs Better Chip Burner.

    Welcome to SMF from Indiana. I think you will find a consensus here from most of the MES users that either going with a pellet tray OR taking it further with a mailbox mod and the tray are the ways to go. The chip method has a number of drawbacks.

    Brisket - Simplified and Reliable Dinner Timing

    In regard to using a cooler and avoiding carry over cooking: If the brisket was pulled once probed tender, let it sit open on the counter for a few minutes until the IT has dropped 5-8º before re-wrapping and placing in a cooler with towels.

    Down for the count-at least two months.

    Nice to see the progress and great news too! Now, maybe time to adjust the daredevil setting a bit to hopefully eliminate further sidelining?

    Looking At Getting A Pellet Smoker, Thoughts?

    Depends if you are planning on multiple long smokes, otherwise a single 20lb bag should be fine. Personally I would get two bags and be covered.

    Brisket - Simplified and Reliable Dinner Timing

    David, smoked brisket left overs freeze very well. Only two of us here as well but I always do a full packer. After a great meal all of the remaining gets portioned out, vacuumed packed then into the freezer. BTW: I make a few of those portions in the amount needed to later dice up and use in...

    Liquid smoke or no liquid smoke?

    Do not like it at all. Many commercial BBQ sauces have it in them which is why I make my own.

    NY strips can't do, is it just me?

    Yeah, strips in general are a tad on the chewy/tough side. Don't do them that ofter anymore. When I have too (family), I use Adolph's on both sides with black pepper and garlic powder. Let 'em sit on the counter for at least 45 min before going on the grill. Adolphs does make a difference.
