    Thinking about getting an insulated blanket for my Traeger Pro 34

    I bought a 6' x 4' High Temp felt welders blanket off Amazon and cut it to size. Works great for cold weather cooks.

    Smoke yield from pellets

    You can't go wrong with Lumber Jack 100% Hickory, Mesquite, and Apple wood pellets

    Pitts and Spitts Maverick 850 not lighting

    I would feel the same way. You say you called the place your bought it from 4 times two weeks ago, so I assume you purchased your cooker from someone who carries the Pitts & Spitts line. I ordered my grill directly from Pitts & Spitts as I am here in NJ. I sure hope P&S does right by you...

    Pitts and Spitts Maverick 850 not lighting

    Did you receive the new circuit board yet? I am really surprised that you have had all these problems. The only thing I had to install was the WIFI module in which the cook chamber was pre-drilled. I hope this resolves your problems. You will find that this cooker holds target temperatures...

    BEEF BACK RIBS

    I disagree! You have to remember you are only spritzing for the first half of your cook when the rack is on the grill grate. After the internal meat temperature reaches 160, the rack is wrapped and spritzing ends. I suppose commercial rubs have sugars added, by my home-made rub recipe doesn't...

    Importance of regular cleaning/vacuuming (clean smoke vs. white) - no smoke at all?

    There is a youtube video where Myron Mixon makes his own brine from fresh vegetables, salts, peppers and spices and smokes a whole chicken that looks mighty tasty. He used one of his pellet grills in the process. Its worth checking out.

    Importance of regular cleaning/vacuuming (clean smoke vs. white) - no smoke at all?

    Skinless chicken tenders are basically white meat, which will dry out way before dark meat (thighs, legs). If I was cooking bonless breasts or tenders I would either inject or brine the chicken first. But if you don't want to brine, I would put a small pan of water on the bottom rack of your...

    Importance of regular cleaning/vacuuming (clean smoke vs. white) - no smoke at all?

    I primarily use Lumber Jack Pellets on all my cooks, which produces quite a bit of ash. I vacuum out the cook chamber after each cook. That's 5 minutes well spent.

    Importance of regular cleaning/vacuuming (clean smoke vs. white) - no smoke at all?

    I am not familiar with the Camp Chef DLX, but I see you were cooking some chicken at 250-300 degrees. Most pellet smokers get good visible blue smoke up to 225 degrees. I have generated blue smoke on my Pitts & Spitts Maverick 2000 up to 275 degrees, but not much hotter than that. On your...

    Pitts and Spitts Maverick 850 not lighting

    JMYSR123, Unlike some pellet smokers, Pitts & Spitts advises to leave the cooking chamber lid open when starting the cooker. Ensure that the outlet you are plugging into is working properly (if not check your fuse panel), lift the stainless steel lid, and press the power button. You should...

    Pits & Spits - Who has one, Do you love it?

    I am assuming you bought your cooker new. Have you changed any of the settings on the PID? The only settings I have changed are in C-11 from 30 to 60 to increase the warm up time during cold weather starts, and C-10 from 30 to 50 which increases the auger percentage speed during cold weather...

    Pits & Spits - Who has one, Do you love it?

    I use Lumber Jack pellets almost exclusively. At what temperatures do you normally cook at? I have found if I keep the temps at 250 or below I get a good smoke flavor. Most of my cooking on the P&S is low and slow, 200 to 225. I would think your 850 should be getting good smoke because of...

    I have a second generation Timberline 1300. Never had a problem with it and cooks in all types of weather since it is double-walled. I am satisfied with it.
