    A new Little Smoker on the way!!

    My daughter is expecting my very first grandchild at the end of November, and it's a boy!! We could not be happier! All the better, too that my son-in-law's dad is a very close friend of mine and our families are very close!! Can't wait to start passing on my recipes!

    Verticle pellet smoker?

    I have the Camp Chef XXL. I really like it. Yes the controller is very basic, but they have hinted on their website that there will probably be a next Gen controller coming out for it in the future. They've already released upgrade WIF PID controllers for their grills and I think most of their...

    First time smoked cheddar FAIL!!

    Tried to smoke some cheddar today. Took a 2lb block of sharp NY cheddar and cut it in half. Put wine barrel pellets in the adjustable Amazen tube and got it going with a torch. I put the cheese on the upper warming rack of my Camp Chef and placed the tube down below and off to the far left of...

    Pellet magnets - I got a little creative today...

    The initial outlay for the magnet material was about $23.00 which was about the cost of a set magnets online, but for the amount of materials I got for that money I can probably produce 5 or 6 six sets if I wanted to sell them or even give them away. Plus it gave me something to do while we're...

    Pellet magnets - I got a little creative today...

    The other day I was poking around on the web and saw some magnets that you stick on your hopper to remind you of what pellets you have loaded. They were pretty pricey, too so I got to thinking about how I could make my own. Bought a package of colored magnetic vinyl sheets on Amazon, they came...

    Storing bags of pellets

    I get the Home Depot (or Lowes) 5 gallon buckets. They're only around $3.50 each and then I get a "gamma seal" type lid that has a screw on top and a gasket. That piece is about $7 or $8. Pellets stay nice and dry no matter the weather and you can stack the buckets. I mark the buckets with a...

    Case for the InkBird IBT-6XS?

    I just bought a new IBT-6XS and an extra meat probe. Does Inkbird have a case to hold this model? Searching on Amazon it looks like there's a case for pretty much every other model, but not that one.

    Propane grill/smoker combo

    You can add a smoker box (woodchip box) to pretty much any propane grill you buy. Even easier if your grill has those tented style "flavorizer bars" as Weber calls them you get a box that is wedge shaped on the bottom and fits right into the the gap in the bars. Just heat the burner under the...

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

    A little Sunday dinner from the Camp Chef! Brined for about 4 hours, then brushed on some honey and hit it with the rub. A nice coat of honey bbq sauce about a half hour before finish. I must be doing something right because my wife went back for seconds! :emoji_sunglasses:

    Smoking elk tri-tip for the first time...and it's gotta be well done??

    Go to your local McDonald's or Wendy's and get some gift cards for the family and then cook that elk to rare or medium rare as the Gods of Meat intended it. Problem solved. :emoji_laughing:

    Advice needed

    No, it shouldn't. It will help it cook more evenly and help all the sections (thighs, legs and breast) to hit your target temp around the same time.

    What's the deal with Pecan wood?

    I really like pecan with poultry.

    Advice needed

    Wet brine. Usually it's a gallon of water, 1 cup of kosher salt and then whatever else you want to add in, usually a cup of brown sugar, or anything else that suits you. Morton's kosher salt is like 25% less salty than table salt. You can adjust down from there as you prefer. For the short...

    Advice needed

    I think I would still brine for at least 4 hours using a kosher salt brine so it's less salty. Then give it a really good rinse before smoking. If I was gong to inject I would use low-sodium broth if I was using broth in my injection and unsalted butter if the recipe called for butter...

    New Smoker Day!

    My new Camp Chef XXL arrived today, a couple weeks sooner than I expected! I had ordered it from Amazon and I think they fulfilled it through OutdoorCooking.com. Got a deal including the cover. Amazon gave it an estimated delivery date of around May 28 so I was pretty surprised when UPS rang...

    Camp chef

    Not to sound too obvious, but did you loosen the knob on the ash catch and lift the little latch?
