    Another batch of pit boss steak jerky.

    Ok something like 12 or 13 hours to smoke, lol somewhere abouts in there. I finally got a batch of thick cut jerky done. Whew! Wore me out! Lol I don't know why I insist in baby sitting my Pit Boss. It pretty much stays spot on temperature up until the 11-12hour smoke time, then it starts...

    Another batch of pit boss steak jerky.

    For any 1 wanting to know, I'm using 5lbs of eye of round roast. Cut 3/8" thick. Using another LEM jerky kit. Peppered. Plan on smoking 8-10 hours at 180°f for that real smoky flavor in my Pit Boss Sportsman 1100. I also just picked up 6 bags of Lumber Jack pellets to try.

    Another batch of pit boss steak jerky.

    Guys & gals at 5pm tonight this has been marinating/curing for 24hours. Do I need to smoke it tonight? Or can I waith till the next morning at which it will have been curing for 36hours. Is this too long to wait to smoke? Thanks.

    Traeger Pro 780 modifications??

    I would say try different brands of pellets. I like lumberjack & bear mountain. I think they render more/better smoke. You could add a cold smoke attachment like the Bella or smoke daddy smoke generator. Or as others mentioned get some smoke tubes. I got 3 smoke tubes & a tray I use.

    Rescued kettle pizza!

    Yeah I see a lot of guys on here that can make a mean meal on the kettle. I'm sure if I use it enough I could figure it out. Maybe make me a custom jobby out of it. Cast iron grates & such. Maybe add my Thermoworks billows kit to it .

    Rescued kettle pizza!

    Yeah I think the reason it was set out next to trash, was the grates are rusty & thin. Kettle seems solid. Might spend some money on it.

    Rescued kettle pizza!

    Lol yeah I think it is egg shaped, like it fell over. Lid only fits 1 way. It is giving me this feeling I should buy a SNS kettle to try.
