    Whittle Baby Shoulder

    Waaaaaaay early lol! Only an hour in, but man - I can't get over the aroma of these pellets. Usually use Camp Chef but I'm looking forward to tasting it with these.

    Whittle Baby Shoulder

    Just a lil' 6lb'r for the weekend. Rubbed up and cooking at 225 with Green Mountain Fruitwood blend pellets. They do smell wonderful and burning well in the tube too. First time trying them - good price at Sportsmans Warehouse

    Smoke level question

    +1 on the AMNPS. I have your same model and it doesn't really puff on "high smoke" after it's up to temperature. Adding the smoke tube really upped the quality of the flavor and bark on my cooks.

    First try at Pork Belly Burnt Ends

    I think they liked it. Does this count as winning a cooking contest?

    First try at Pork Belly Burnt Ends

    Oh sweet mother of fire... Bringing them to the cigar lounge for super bowl "appetizer throwdown" ... I think I got a shot.

    First try at Pork Belly Burnt Ends

    Back at ya! I've never eaten these, let alone made them - so pretty hopeful they turn out well.

    First try at Pork Belly Burnt Ends

    So-so bark, the pellet tube didn't burn well. (Self - inflicted: filled it last night but it rained - enough humidity to retard the burn. It's Arizona - we don't think of these things!) But hitting 165/170, so piled into a pan with local wildflower honey, brown sugar and couple sticks of...

    First try at Pork Belly Burnt Ends

    After finally getting lucky and scoring a reasonably priced belly, I get to try making burnt ends with it. Went big on the cubes (1.5" or so), some rub, and onto the cooling racks (whomever mentioned this is genius - best $15 I spent on a grill accessory). On the pellet grill (apple wood) at...

    Where to buy pork belly?

    HAH!!! Finally, $3.00/lb at Costco this morning - hit them right when they opened and had to maneuver around a couple lolligaggers - but got a 9lb'r for Sunday and a butt to freeze for later. I should have been rude and grabbed a couple, but it was slim pickings and didn't want to deny someone...

    Where to buy pork belly?

    I can't find bellies at Costco or the grocery stores here in Phoenix. Went to my local butcher shop: $10.00/lb for 10-12lb frozen ones! Won't be trying the burnt ends recipe anytime soon...

    pellets and smoke quality

    Not very good of the smoke, but figured I'd post it. This is with Camp Chef competition pellets, stored in a Homer bucket with the screw lid outside

    Mmmmmmm - Bacon

    How better to start a weekend! Pretty sure the time to cook 1.5lbs on a pellet is no longer than cooking and cleaning up after doing it in the kitchen...and it's so much tastier!

    PSA on Pellet Storage

    I was looking at the 32qt capacity ones - looked more like what was in the pic. I have to speculate that 20lbs of pellets would be similar volume to 12lbs of charcoal briquettes. https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=113059

    Puzzle anyone?

    I was wondering about that - would you use like a wire basket to contain them and shoosh 'em around a few times while they cook?

    PSA on Pellet Storage

    Crap - wish I knew about these before I bought a bunch of Homer buckets! (But I still get by with them - especially with the optional/additional screw-top lids) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bucket-Companion-5-gal-and-3-gal-Screw-Top-Bucket-Lid-in-Black-LD5GRLBK006/303808738

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    About perfect. Wound up taking the point off first at 2am, the flat around 3am. Both had areas that probed a little tight, but my a&& was dragging so they both went into the cooler hot off the grill to rest/finish. (No clue why I decided to start in the early evening...) Got up about 7am to...

    Shootr's First Brisket Ramblings

    4 hours in and the heat curve started flattening, so went ahead and wrapped them in the pink paper to finish. Grill is holding temps very well for mid-low 40's ambient. Pellet tube burned out fully, nice wisps of smoke from the chimney the whole time. Smell and look wonderful
