    1st brisket + 1st smoke on Pit Boss tabletop pellet grill/smoker

    Looks great, my Austin LX goes from 250-300, 300 is too hot for my smoking, that's closer to hot grilling and hard for me to judge the moisture and tenderness, I run mine as low as it will go for several hours then go to 225-250 depending on weight and time I need it ready. Smaller cuts can be...

    Life Gets in the Way, Times Whatever

    Great looking deck, No advice as this marriage is 40+ and breaks my heart reading your story. Good luck on everything, they say things happen for a reason, I say sometimes they don't, most work out. A tall table and chairs would be great out there.

    Hydro Garden Update

    Condensation from the ac captures a lot of smells and off flavors, think the ac as a air filter. that's the reason to not use it.

    Coal Bed Getting Too Large

    As the ashes build up it smothers the fire, thats 1 of the reasons bins are made to let the ash drop away from the wood that’s burning

    Smoking 14 tri-tips in my Pit Boss Vertical Pellet BBQ Smoker?

    Your probably looking at 3-4 hours depending on weight, the average weight will be around 3lb ? remember lower temps = more smoke with a pellet smoker. it's ok to have them done and resting, I like fresh cooked over reheated due to moisture lose on the reheat.

    I would do a practice run with a couple, my sons PB done really well a few years ago when I smoked 3 briskets, I would only use the top 2 racks and hopefully you have a couple probes to monitor, get them where you need them then into a cooler to hold. that's not really a lot of meat for the...
