    Just a miserable time smoking this past weekend

    Just need to have a plan in place the day before (check supplies, smoker cleaned & ready, meat prep) and then work it. 9# bone-in butts can easily be smoked and ready for dinner the same day.

    Help me with a (salt, pepper, garlic, and onion) rub

    Been using the rub from Alton Brown now for a number of years. Everybody I've served pulled pork to loves it. See the ingredients for the Pork Butt recipe in my sig below. No salt cause the butt is wet brined over night.

    GMG 2.0 Ledge or Peak grill ?

    When you are done smoking I would remove all the pellets in the hopper and run the unit until it exhausts any pellets in the auger area. This scenario obviously works better if a smoker has a dump feature. Can't tell if these have that feature or not.

    GMG 2.0 Ledge or Peak grill ?

    The sq. in. of your Napoleon is approx 485, the Ledge at 530 or the Peak at 738

    GMG 2.0 Ledge or Peak grill ?

    Ocean salt finds a way to get to just about everything. Maybe a good 304 stainless construction version?

    Smoker Purchase Suggestion

    There is one thing for sure, all of us on SMF love to help others spend their money. We're just a bunch of enablers :emoji_laughing:!

    To continue beating the poor horse.......

    Based upon what you've indicated, yes. A pellet smoker would be a good choice. Lots to choose from but I would suggest you look beyond the entry level. Start with reviewing RecTec. Many here use them and I've yet to read negative comments on them vs a number of 'other' brands that seem to pop...

    Smoker Purchase Suggestion

    Going on 11 years smoking with my pellet pooper and have never had the hopper/auger catch fire. Not saying that can't happen but usually details are left out by those complaining about something going wrong with their equipment.

    Vacuum sealing juicy stuff

    Would love to have a chamber version but these guys are way too big. Kitchen and other storage spaces are at a premium so freezing or partial then using my sportsman food saver does the job.

    Ribalicious

    Wagyu Black from SMF should be a different outcome then last go around. IMO, no need to wrap. I'm in for the final result.

    Frozen BBQ.

    Heck yes you can freeze brisket. Only two of us here as well but I smoke whole packers all the time. We eat dinner then after it's completely cooled down I cut it into 1.5 Lb portions, vacuum pack and freeze. You can save what ever amount you want and reheat. We use our portions for smoked...

    Chimkin’ Livers

    Try making a paté with chicken livers. Definitely a more mellow approach, but a good start to introduce someone that's not fond of chicken livers. Serve it on club crackers. We make a big batch during the holidays. Recipe is in my sig below.

    Smart grill/smoker

    Many times multi-task units don't measure up when it comes to both smoking & grilling. If space is not the issue I also recommend getting a pellet smoker and a gas grill.

    I figured I should give a follow up since I posted it in the open forum (prostate biopsy)

    Fingers crossed for ya!

    Steak dinner with a friend

    Some like to spend the time, comes down to how you roll. I shy away from thin steaks and opt for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2". Seasoned and on the counter for 45 min before going on the grill.

    Live and Learn

    Yup, dbl salt mistake that's really easy to miss. We usually do Chuckies by smoking them just like brisket. Sound like your wasn't done when pulled. Do the probe test all over for tenderness before pulling.

    Pellet Grill thoughts?

    Hmm... the OP is contemplating replacing a gas grill for a pellet. While you can 'grill' on a pellet (some models do it better than others) I'm of the belief that grilling should be left to dedicated grills. When you want to smoke, get a smoker. Multi-taskers rarely excel at doing everything...

    Race Day here in Indy, so the brisket goes on early!

    BTW: of course the point was just the opposite. Very moist. Thinking from now on we'll feast on the point and save the flat for chili.

    Race Day here in Indy, so the brisket goes on early!

    The good news the taste was great. Bark was perfect thanks to not wrapping. However this is the second time in a row I've pulled a brisket just as the probing feels right. Rested it a decent amount of time for the juices to resettle, it slices without falling apart but just so, only to discover...
