    Pellet grill deck build ideas

    Yeah I’m thinking around March-April to start. I’ve been saying since we moved in I’m going to put a deck on, just never got around to it. Now with using my grills and smokers 4-5 times a week, it gets old having to drag them out the garage every time and set up. I’d like to just uncover and get...

    Brisket: choice, select or prime?

    The general consensus is most folks use choice no matter what. I think sometime soon I’ll put that $100 gift card to Kroger to use and pick up a choice full packer and do my first brisket. I appreciate all the info. You all are a great help and resource!

    Pellet grill deck build ideas

    My wife and I are thinking of adding a deck onto on house and I want to be able to have all my grills and smokers on it so I’m looking at ideas of what people have for deck kitchens/grilling stations. My main cooker is my GMG Daniel Boone. I’ve heard of people taking the legs off them and...

    Brisket: choice, select or prime?

    In my opinion, I wouldn’t even look at a select. Choice is the most readily available in my area at the grocery store (Walmart, Kroger). I’ve never seen a prime in either of those, but sams and Costco does sell them and they are just a few cents more on primes than what choice’ are. I’m mainly...

    Brisket: choice, select or prime?

    I know the obvious, “you get what you pay for” “better meat, better product”. for those that have done briskets, looking back would you have done your meat selection differently? Specifically, would you do your first brisket ever with a choice, so if you ruined it or just cause it was your...

    Pellet smoked jerk em’ jerky

    Yeah I messed up and went with the grain. Most were about a 1/4 but there were definitely some wider. It turned out okay for the first time. It was more sweet than what I like. I’ll dial back the sugar and bbq sauce next time and add more pepper and red pepper flake for a more kicked up heat...

    Pellet smoked jerk em’ jerky

    I realized now going through some forum threads that I sliced the jerky in the wrong direction. Wasn’t thinking about that when I cut it the other night. Hopefully doesn’t ruin it too much

    Ready to give up - change my mind

    Also, with your temp swings, once your cooker thermometer says it’s at temp, do you instantly put food on then? I usually get mine up to temp and keep it there about 30 min before I put food on. Seems to help stabilize the temps, as well as makes sure the whole chamber is heated to desired temp...

    Ready to give up - change my mind

    Are you cooking to the correct temp would be next question? Also, do you let it rest after cooking or just go straight to cutting/eating. What meat(s) have you done that give you most trouble?

    Ready to give up - change my mind

    Are you cooking to temperature of your meat? Or just going off a recommended time? If not, you need to get yourself a good probe thermometer to see when your food is done based on temp. Every piece of meat is different, every cooker is different, but meat is always done when it reaches the...
