It will definatly be a learning experience going from a pellet to stick burner but I think the quality will be worth it. Have you tried a charcoal box to try and regulate the temp better on long cooks? If I could find a kingman used on craigslist I would go even bigger but they never come up for...
You are going to find there are alot of different ways people cook brisket when it comes to IT. I personally have had my best luck by taking it to 195 and then starting the toothpick test in the flat, I dont care what the point is at because that is ussually cut into burnt ends and cook longer...
I try not to have the prob too close to the bone because as the cook goes on it will absorb heat and cook the meat next to it differently. When ever I do a bone in pork but I tend to go by feel of the meat on the outside and how loose the bone is from the meat it is around, when done the bone...
Ever since I had a nice paper towel fire in the bbq from forgetting the pan in there when done with a cook the wife doesnt let me use her good pans.
I always use aluminum pans for brisket and pork butts but I always use a tray or rack of some kind under them when moving so they dont fold under...
I would not go with the traeger it is too small for what you want, I have the lil tex and its just big enough for briskets. They have hot spots around the edges where the drip tray/ deflector ends which makes the grilling area even smaller. I even regret not spending the extra money on getting a...
I don't have any experience with the digital bradly but I had the one with the analog control and had awful luck when I tried to put too much meat in there, top to bottom was horrible for temp difference. So with that said I would do the pork but the day before, smoke till 165 IT then put in a...
So how did it turn out ? From the pics it looks good, I cant believe you started with brisket for your first smoke way to go. You should have no trouble with ribs or pork buts. What kind of smoker is that?
Well finnaly got a good brisket cooked, wife was not sure when I bought this one if it was going in the garbage but she loved it and it turned out great. Used a simple rub of salt, black pepper and cayanne pepper. Smoked it till 165 then into the foil pan with some broth and into the oven since...
Thanks for the welcome

I have a Traeger Lil Tex and its ok, like any grill or smoker it has up and down sides to it. I have had it 3 years now and for starting out it works very well and quite dumby proof. The biggest issue for me is getting pellets at a reasonable price and I should...
I dont know that you will get the best of both worlds with being able to grill steaks and cook low and slow with one grill. I know some may disagree with this but I have a traeger lil tex and it can be done but it is not easy nor convient. I thought the same when I bought my first pellet grill...
