    Brisket - There is no reason to cook over 8 hrs

    I run a much longer smoke (and lower- 205-210) and try to pull bet. 195 and 203 (magic number). . I do believe with proper prep you will not lose moistness. The smoke ring on a low 14-18 hour brisket is beautiful. I just put one on at 11:45pm and we're eating at 6:30pm. . If it finishes early (I...

    auger really jammed- MAK 2

    There was a flat spot on the end of the auger that was suitable to apply a drift and pound out. No way to burn the pellets out as the auger wouldn't turn. Anyway, all good and working great now. Thanks guys for the advice!

    auger really jammed- MAK 2

    I have an issue with an auger removal on my MAK 2:  The pellets in the tube took on moisture and expanded. It's been about a month since it happened by best guess. Cannot pull the motor attached to the auger out- doesn't budge. Think the only way is to use a slug and pound it out from the...

    MAK Pellet Grill Cold Smoked Cheese

    I have a MAK 2 Star and love smoking cheese on it. The reality is, the amount of smoke all depends on your taste. I run Gouda for 2 hours on 75% apple/ 25% alder and medium and sharp cheddar for 3 hours. (I've gone up to 4 hours but not beyond that- still great at 4 but not a huge difference.)...

    Need help- Turducken done waaaay too early. .

    Slow smoked @ 220F and was supposed to take 16 hours- done in 8 (153F). . . I can control temp on smoker (MAK 2 Star) to 200F. . . Tent w/ water in small pot to absorb moisture and leave on smoker, or cool i fridge and reheat. Would prefer to keep it going but thought I'd see if anyone ever had...
