    1st Chicken Breast in the Pellet Smoker

    When I use my WSM for ribs I usually would dry rub them then throw them on for about 4 hours at around 230ish. I am thinking about trying that but putting a foil pan with some water in there with them to keep some moisture in there. We will see what happens.

    PitBoss App Review

    Has anyone used the PitBoss App for a PitBoss smoker or Grill? I downloaded it when I got my new PitBoss Smoker/Grill. It does the job of letting me look in on the temp in the smoker and the meat probes. I am disappointed because I thought the Analytics looked pretty cool but it looks like they...

    1st Chicken Breast in the Pellet Smoker

    I fired up my new Pit boss pellet smoker for the first time earlier this week. I had a package of chicken breasts I decided to smoke. I was planning on marinading them but time got away from me. I set the smoker at 270 and left them on there for about 3 hours. They had good flavor but came out a...

    Great Cleaning Pit Boss 850CS

    I have a Grill Rescue that I use to clean my grill grates in my gas grill. Would that work for cleaning my new Pit Boss Pellet Smoker grates as well or would the water on the Flame Broiler be a bad idea? What do others use to clean the grates after they smoke and grill on a pellet smoker?

    Looking At Getting A Pellet Smoker, Thoughts?

    Looking At Getting A Pellet Smoker, Thoughts?

    Thanks for all the thoughts and info. I think I am heading out tomorrow after work to pick one up in hopes of getting it put together over the weekend. Does anyone have any thoughts on pellet buying strategy at first? Is one bag enough to play with a few smokes or should I pick up a few bags...

    Looking At Getting A Pellet Smoker, Thoughts?

    I am looking at getting a pellet smoker so I have a little more flexibility on my smoking. I love my WSM and playing with the fire but sometimes I just want to throw something on the smoker easy-peasy or not have to sit outside and for an hour to get it setup and then watch it all day. I have...

    Smoked Cream Cheese?

    Success! They didn't melt into a puddle of goo and they taste really good. I will be doing this again in the future.

    Smoked Cream Cheese?

    Very likely. I am highly skeptical but it is a cheap experiment. :emoji_laughing:

    Smoked Cream Cheese?

    I have read a few articles about smoked Cream cheese in the last week or so. I thought I would give it a try while I smoke a beef roast today. I scored the cream cheese. Then I brushed it with olive oil. Lastly I sprinkled them with some seasoning. Throwing them in the smoker at 250ish for 3ish...

    The injection was a success! No plated pictures because we were running behind for our zooms giving meeting. It was super juicy and delicious.

    Cold weather charcoal chimney question

    Thanks for the ideas. I have an old grate and some cinder blocks I can build a little stand out. I don't do a ton of cold weather smoking but know I have a plan for my next one.

    Cold weather charcoal chimney question

    Not sure if this is the right place but here we go. It is subfreezing here this morning, about 30, I think it got down to about 28 over night. In warmer weather I fire up my chimney with charcoal and then set it on the patio and let the charcoal get lit. I did that this morning and after awhile...

    Injecting A Turkey Breast For The First Time

    I am going to do a creole butter injection on my thanksgiving turkey breast later this week. I have never done an injection before. Any tips? How long ahead of time should I inject. Should I rub before or after injecting? Thanks for any pointers.

    Ribs and Queso!

    Spending the afternoon on the patio on a beautiful day! Have some ribs rubbed with Famous Dave's Rib Rub on the smoker right now. Had some queso on the smoker first, it was a great afternoon snack.

    Pulled pork chili ideas

    I usually just do my traditional chili but sub in pulled pork instead of ground beef. But that is just for home consumption. 😜
