    Pellet grill (Traeger) = less smoke flavor?

    I could be wrong but i'm told that the warranty on the rec is better than the yoder but at those costs, you are bound to get a nice machine

    Wood from Amazon

    I've ordered once or twice from online but they all tend to be expensive. I think before I went online, I would look for oak firewood sold locally. Academy sports has decent prices and different types. I'm lucky b/c I have a charbroil warehouse that sells bags of splits for 5$ each. Well...

    Pellet grill (Traeger) = less smoke flavor?

    To me it seems the rec tec bull is the cadillac of pellet smokers and that's just by reading comments on here and my friend has one. I find it hard to believe it is the same as a Traeger especially since I've heard that the traeger owner Joe went to pit boss and the traeger's have gone down in...

    Costco's vs Sam's club

    The one here is so weak, I didn't even see brisket. Maybe it was just an off weekend but so sick of paying an annual fee for basically only bulk butt paper.

    Costco's vs Sam's club

    I'm sick of Sams. Their chicken tastes like steroid rubber and their pork ribs are more expensive than local grocery store. To me, the only good thing is if you want to buy a high dollar beef loin like to slice rib eyes. It sounds like Costco is a lot better but I'd have to drive an 1.5hrs to...

    Bitter taste / creosote... Help!!!

    Just to clarify, i'm talking about the baffle where the smoke comes out usually on the other side of the smoker? I assume you have one of those that's adjustable

    Bitter taste / creosote... Help!!!

    I only mess with the baffle ontop if I want to change temp. On a perfect smoke day, I keep everything wide open but it's not always a perfect day. But I don't want to risk snuffing the firebox by closing the vents on the bottom. Another small trick is for my fire box, if you turn the grate 180...

    Bitter taste / creosote... Help!!!

    Dan, do you close the firebox immediately after adding chunks? I like the others mention, put my split "on deck" on top of the firebox to warm it up. Then when it's time, I put it in and keep the firebox open for a good min or however long it takes for it to light on fire real good. If after...

    Chimchurri Chicken and Mexican Street Corn w pics

    To be transparent, my drink of choice is miller light and there isn't that much diff. On post, I can get 36 for 20 bucks. I like IPAs and better beer but 1) I don't want to drink that in the heat and 2) lot more calories.

    Chimchurri Chicken and Mexican Street Corn w pics

    I'm just trying to be polite. I bought that garbage when it was a week before payday when I was in my early early early 20s.

    New to smoking - any suggestions

    Agreed, I did a beer can chicken in a webber indirect between 280-300 and the skin still came out rubbery. I should have took the can out of its azz and threw it on direct for a little to crisp up the chicken.

    Smoking snob

    I've noticed that most Q joints around me are okay. I contend that there is no way that it's fresher than what I make so they make up for it by saucing it up to keep moist. It could be all in my head but I imagine them smoking the day before or it's been sitting in sauce for hours before I...

    So tired of the grind

    My wife and I half joke about getting a taco truck but my entire issue in the food industry is that I would have to work when I most like to be off work so that doesn't fly for me.

    New to smoking - any suggestions

    I guess I haven't smoked enough to really get a palate of different smoke wood but I enjoy oak, hickory and mesquite. My neighbor gave me a bunch of pecan from his yard. I should try something different for poultry like apple to see if I can taste a difference.
