    Question for pellet smokers

    My understanding of it is the larger p-settings will give you more smoke (less ignition and more time for the pellets to smolder and smoke), but possibly higher temp swings.

    Question for pellet smokers

    Geerock, and recommendations for the p-setting? I posted a question about in another thread, but I haven't gotten any insight on it from anyone with much CharGriller experience. Mine was supposed to be delivered today, but they screwed up the delivery schedule so now it won't be until Thursday.

    Question for pellet smokers

    Have you tried other p-settings? That should increase the amount of smoke. Mine is supposed to be delivered today, so I'll be doing some troubleshooting myself trying to find the ideal settings. Also, consider adding an A-maze-n pellet tube to increase the smoke consistency.

    Question for pellet smokers

    Also, while I've never tried a brisket that small, it's possible that a brisket that size wouldn't require enough smoking time to form a good bark.

    Question for pellet smokers

    Maybe you wrapped it too early? From my understanding, wrapping it will always soften the bark. How was the bark at the time that you wrapped it?

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    Glad to hear. I can deal with 20 degree swings. I'd just prefer it to not get over 250.

    Just got a Traeger - any words of wisdom?

    No worries. Yeah, pretty much any pellets will work with any pellet grill, just some better than others. The three brands mentioned by Lizzie seem to be the consensus favorites. The Traeger brand pellets are overpriced and Alder filler and flavored with oils, so I wouldn't recommend them.

    Just got a Traeger - any words of wisdom?

    What pellets, and why are you yelling?

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    Yeah, that was my basic understanding of the p-setting. Hopefully, some people with Chargiller experience will chime in on what they've experienced and can offer some advice to my original question.

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    I don't even see the pellet smoker on their website at all, which is a little odd.

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    Hmmm... Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding how the settings work then.. I thought you could set the desired temperature on the dial, and then adjust the p-setting for the amount of desired smoke and pellet burn rate, and that the "smoke" setting was only for very low smoking temperatures (sub...

    Char Griller Pellet Smokers

    Does anyone know if the pellet saver hopper insert sold for the Traeger fits the hopper on the Char-Griller? http://shop.pelletgrillaccessories.com/product.sc?productId=173&categoryId=8

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    Seriously though, maybe someone else can chime in on this since I'm far from an expert, but you may want to be careful eating it. With it under 140 for so long, it may have gone bad... At least by FDA standards. The model I ordered comes with a digital thermostat with 8 temp settings in...

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    I bought one last week, but, unfortunately, I have to wait until the 24th for Lowes to deliver it... I'll try to try out a brisket that weekend and will be sure to post my findings. My main concern is trying to figure out the best way to get a fairly consistent 225 without too much temp...

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    165-170? Wow.. You cook LOW and SLOW, don't ya...lol. So it was under 130 for 7 1/2 hours? I always thought you were supposed to get it above that 140 danger zone within 4 hours or so for safety reasons?

    Let me know how it goes and how steady the temperate was! Have a great Father's Day!

    Char-Griller Pellet Grill p-settings

    So, after reading a couple other threads on here, I just talked myself out of a Traeger and into buying the Char-Griller. So, in an effort to minimize my learning curve, what settings have you guys found the most success with? I like a lot of smoke flavor, so what p-setting would you recommend...

    Traeger model differences

    Never mind... I've now sold myself on the Char-Griller pellet grill... Too much value to pass on, and fairly risk-free with the Lowes extended warranty. I would delete this thread, but I can't figure out how to.

    Traeger model differences

    I currently have a MES 40. After making several mods to it ("cold smoke" attachment, customized smoke stack in place of the damper, etc), I am still not happy with it. Mostly because of pellet jams in the smoke attachment (I live in Texas, and humidity, smoke, and wood pellets don't always play...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Thanks. Not my first brisket, just my first with a Masterbuilt after my Bradley caught fire a couple months ago. You wrap it at 200? Does it still firm enough to slice at that point? I've usually targeted the 185-190 range. I'm afraid if I let it go to 200 it'll be chopped brisket, rather than...
