    Best “Portable” Pellet Grill/Smoker

    Would a Weber 26” work well for that? Almost double the room you wanted and sounds like people set these up to grill and smoke in same cook sessions pretty easily. Plus charcoal/wood chunk taste vs pellet and no battery needed.

    Timberline 850 model comparison

    How’s the YS640s treating you? Jealous as I bought my 640 three weeks before the S release.

    Tri-tip!!!

    Compared to brisket Tri tip is a dream....no cutting half of it off, no 12-14 hour burning of 20 dollars of pellets....hour and half and done.

    Bacon wrapped, pepper jack stuffed chicken breasts

    I bought the rub, but think anything would have worked with the bacon and pepper jack. Hope it cools up great ofelles! I may try the same thing with some Gouda too.

    Tri-tip!!!

    Sadly prime is usually 8-10 bucks a pound around me. Usually 2 roasts are around 4 pounds and between 32-40 dollars but again still cheaper than most steak here. Meat is high priced.

    Tri-tip!!!

    I had never heard of them in Midwest....moved to west coast and baam it’s everywhere! I don’t understand why it isn’t more places....easy to cook, minimal trimming, no waste....and tastes fantastic. I will say no restaurant Tri tip has come even close to cooking at home. I haven’t figured out...

    Bacon wrapped, pepper jack stuffed chicken breasts

    easy one for anyone struggling for weekend ideas. Had several trimmed breasts for company. Brined then with gallon water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup salt for a few hours. Slit open, stuffed in some Tillamook pepper jack, seasoned with Myron Mixon Honey Money Cluck rub or something like that and...

    Thinking of getting a pellet grill smoker but need help

    Yoder 640 owner here and happy with it, no complaints. And in my experience it won’t put out as much smoke flavor as charcoal or stick, but it is set and forget. Temp monitor is a must have in my mind to validate internal temps at different locations, so if you have to buy that’s separate...

    New smoker

    At the end of the day it’s an outdoor oven fueled by pellets of dubious composition. Whatever makes us happy :)

    New smoker

    Hey let’s keep the talk going it’s making for a fun read..... Glad the bull is working well for many. I came close and went with the Yoder YS640. Something to keep in mind...some places collect tax differently....that difference might save you a couple hundred to get a better model for free....

    Hotter brisket...300....butcher paper...first time

    I did eat some cold and I just popped some in the microwave for 20 seconds just for speed. I have a toaster oven with reheat settings that works better just takes longer.

    First Tri Tip attempt.......and fail

    I don’t use any marinade....have done several and has been a super easy cut to took well. I flip them when hit about 110 or so and pull off at 137.5. Why that temp? Because I pulled the first one I did off there and it was great, and all have turned out similar. I would try one without foil...

    Hotter brisket...300....butcher paper...first time

    so picked up some Myron mixon hickory pellets as Lumberjack hard to find around me. Anyways, best smelling pellets I have used but didn’t notice much smoke flavor. Small packet about 10 pounds, trimmed off quite a bit of the point as I don’t like the super fatty stuff. Rubbed with Mixon...

    Help on a pellet smoker

    Well I guess the answer is “no”....likely won’t get same taste quality with pellet that you are used to. Yes, can definitely simplify with pellet overall, but a bit less flavor.

    Help on a pellet smoker

    I often think of getting a stick burner to go with my ys640 for when I have time to hang out and babysit it.....grass is always greener I guess. Smoke profile not as much as my WSM, but the Yoder makes it easy. Going to try some Myron Mixon hickory soon, Lumberjack dried up around me.

    Prime Tri-tip at Costco - worth it?

    Our Costco seems to only have either the prime or the choice at one time unless you wanted the marinated ones. Prime isn’t that much more when they do have, only had the choice once, can’t recall telling the difference. Just cooked up two of the primes tonight though....no complaints. I’m new...

    cooking fish...for someone that hates fish

    Halibut all day long for non fish tasting fish. Any seasoning will work with it....it does have an odor while prepping but tastes clean. Lingcod is also good as mentioned. I prefer both of the above over salmon for less fish tasting if that is goal. I actually need to do more fish...
