    Pellet Question?

    Thanks...yes I always microwave my pellets for about 2’ and it works out well. These pellets have been burning decently as I have used them a few times. But they just seem to be getting worse when sitting around my house. The other bags are fine except this one. Doesn’t appear to be any holes...

    Pellet Question?

    I recently purchased a few 5lb pellets from Amazen: Cherry - Apple - Hickory - Pitmaster. The Pitmaster pellets look correct to you? As you can see in the comparison with Hickory, the Pitmasters (on the left) are very light grey and much smaller than the others...which are a shiny tan to brown...

    Knives

    I’ll throw my $.02 in...I have been cooking for over 45 years and have many knives mainly Henkel. I also have vintage knives from my Grandfather and Father. All good. BUT, the other day I was cutting up an eye round for Jerky and although the above mentioned knives were good, there was one knife...

    Jerky Lacking Flavor

    Yeah, I’d like to try that. Am sure the smoking time will be longer, but think maybe will add a bit more flavor.

Marinated for 24 hours in basic recipe of: ¼ cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons liquid smoke (only used...

    Too Windy for Pellets?

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this... I have a Char Broil 30” Electric and yesterday I used Amazen tray & pellets . It was very windy and two channels burned down in an hour. I suspect that since two air holes in bottom side of smoker produced lots of air due to wind, this may...

    Looking for advice on electric smoker

    My GF has the higher end MES 30 and it works very well. Chips burn beautifully. Like all other smokers, door therm is off by about 20* but not a big deal. Small chip tray. Since she has the MB,I bought the CharBroil 30”. It is the analogue Model and paid $150. Once I got to know it, am very...

    Smoked Chicken Skin & Pasta

    Its my own...I love pasta and am always trying new things. The skin was so flavorful from thighs I smoked a week ago. I saved them but wasn’t sure how to use them. So gave this a try. The only thing I would do differently is to add THAT amount to a single (large) serving. I added that to the...

    Smoked Chicken Skin & Pasta

    Well, we all know how flavorfull smoked chicken skin is but ends up a bit chewy to eat. So tonight I decided to put it to good use. I made a favorite pasta Fettuccini dish which included the skin. I minced up the skin, italian parsley, garlic, dried porcini mushrooms, green onions and fresh...

    My Smokers Posessed!

    I have a question regarding an odd thing that is happening tonight in my smoker. I am smoking chicken thighs with Amazen Pit Master Pellets in an electric smoker. The Chicken was brined for a couple hours. The temps were running between 230-250. Digital probe was in a thigh and after 1 1/2 hours...

    Rolled Bacon for ABT’s

    I am fairly new to ABT’s and wanted to share something that may already be obvious to many. While reading posts and watching videos on ABT’s, just about all say that your bacon must be thin. Well, to me, the bacon by Oscar Meyer is thin but now that I need it, naturally can’t find it anymore...

    OK, its All Your Fault...!

    Ok, here‘s a photo. I am using a CharBroil analog and the temp swings can go 10-15 which I hear is normal. For temp control I am using a Nextamz dual digital wireless. This is a copy of the ThermoPro which I was going to get but this one was on a lightning deal for $27. The only thing I don't...

    OK, its All Your Fault...!

    Over the last 40 years, I have had many grilles and one wood smoker. I recently purchased an electric smoker and have used it once. I am having beginners trouble with keeping consistent temps and smoke with this analog smoker. But today was better. Today, I decided to try making ABTs and...
