    Smoking Thuringer Question

    I am stuffing this Saturday and Smoking it Sunday. I tried the snake method today and it was sort of successful. I think I need to make my snake smaller to start with and fatter at the end. It will be a challenge in my barrel smoker. I might cold smoke with pellets first then introduce some...

    Smoking Thuringer Question

    I am making the Rytek Kutas recipe of Thuringer. It says to smoke the sausage at 100F for 8-10 hours. I am not sure if I can hold the temp at 100 for 8-10 hours in my barrel smoker. I can easily smoke it for that long with a pellet tube but I dont think hardly any heat will be generated...

    Barrel gauge - does it matter?

    LIke I am asking.... does it make a difference building an UDS out of a 16 vs 20 gauge barrel? Sure heavier is better but what are we talking? An extra few pieces of charcoal or half a bag of charcoal? thanks haeffnkr

    Hello, Cust Service response -  Hello  Thank you for your email. It does not look like your receipt was attached to the email I received. However, we will still get the parts shipped out as quickly as possible.  Our engineers got back with me from their testing today with the following info...

    Yes I had some sugar - it was this recipe - http://www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2012/02/syd-all-purpose-rub/.   While I understand sugar will burn sooner than fat, etc... if anything drips on a 400 or more degree metal plate it will burn. I never had a problem with the pellets and wet, unit is...

    So... I play with the grill tonight... I opened up the pit to find this lovely mess. Do all pellet grills blow the ash around like this? https://photos.app.goo.gl/A0g1Zqbf2duec4Et1 \ I cleaned it up and put it back together and put my thermometer next to the factory one and set the controller...

    Makes sense...thanks. I will add foil and/or add another sheet pan above the grease pan to try and lower the temp and get it closer to pit temp and not screaming hot in which it must be 400 plus when when the pit is at 275.

    I monitored the pit temps with a known accurate bbq thermometer that was placed close to the factory probe and the 2 read the same or very close  to the same temps for the whole cook. What I dont know is how hot the grease pan was when the pit temp was 275 measured 5 to 6 inches above it.  I...

    Hello, Are you saying that 275 is too high for a grill that goes up to 500 plus? Most guys now are cooking pork at 275 to 300 from what I am reading. thanks haeffnkr

    Hi, I can try that and see what happens at 225. I asked the foil or not to foil question before and more suggested to not foil, but yes clean up would be easier. Does adding foil change the heat transfer overall for the grill? Yes there is a heat shield under the grease pan. thanks haeffnkr

    Hello, I tried to use my pellet grill again yesterday. I cooked 2 racks of spare ribs at 275 just under 4 hours total and they were nasty and burned flavor from the grease burning. I cooked them 3 hours at 275 on the smoker flat with some rub and spritzed with apple juice a few times, then...

    Foil the grease pan or not? nasty smoke...

    Hi, thanks for the replies thus far. These pellet grills have been discussed like ovens and apparently they need to be cleaned like ovens also, they are not really a grill. Some background. I have had a cook 2 weeks ago where I went from pork steaks at 300 with drippings on the bare grease...

    Foil the grease pan or not? nasty smoke...

    Hi, I just got a cabelas pellet grill ( camp chef dlx ) and I like the unit. The first few times I did not foil the grease pan and just scraped it off after/before each cook and especially if I cooked at 300 to 350 it would give off a burning grease smell vs a smoker smell. Then I tried foil...

    I need help with my mailbox mod please... will not stay lit.

    Hi All, I put an extra hole in the mailbox, and taped up the connections out of the mailbox into the MES. I put a bunch of foil tape around the fitting that goes into the MES to make it tight with no leaks. There are no smoke leaks that I can see now and the smoke was rolling. I put as many...
