    How long should 1.25 cu ft wood last?

    I see Rick called face cord around here, $200 for specific kind oak, hickory, cherry. $140 for mixed. $30 for delivery. Full cord $600/$420 mixed.

    How long should 1.25 cu ft wood last?

    I did do some looking around and may not be as hard to find as I thought. I would need delivery as well. Splitting and waiting for it to dry isn’t something I’m wanting to do right now. If I do go the offset route then maybe something in the future to think about.

    How long should 1.25 cu ft wood last?

    I’ve been entertaining the thought of getting a LSG 30” vertical offset or the insulated cabinet. I have never used an offset but love the flavor it gives. I wonder if I go the offset route if I will be driving myself crazy trying to source wood??? Ace has 1.25 cu ft of wood for $25. How long...

    Requesting suggestions on my next grill/smoker

    I have the recteq BFG and RT340. I can’t say much about any other pellet grill because I haven’t used them, but recteq customer service has been phenomenal. I had a cracked light lens on the BFG and they replaced it with no questions asked and gave me a new bulb too. They also gave me the newer...

    First try at Barbacoa

    They are hard to find here in northwest Indiana. I placed an online pickup for them at 3 different Sam’s Clubs. 2 were cancelled because they didn’t have it and luckily one did. Guess that will be my strategy from now on instead of swing it is a subtle in club and driving there for nothing.

    First try at Barbacoa

    Was able to find some beef cheek at a Sam’s nearby. Trimmed last night and used rec teq Ben heifers dust. Put in the RT 340 on lo for an hour or so, then bumped up to 250 until they got a good bark maybe 165-170 IT? Put them in a pan with 2 cans Campbell’s beef consume, chopped onion, garlic...

    Hot N’ Fast

    I used lumberjack hickory. Maybe if I filled the second one up all the way, and let it go on lo a bit longer would have done the trick. I wouldn’t mind another 1/2 hour to 1hr. I normally go for about 2hrs on lo in my BFG.

    Hot N’ Fast

    They were pretty good! The apple still had a little crisp to it. I also added a bit of molasses. I would imagine if I covered with foil the last hour the apples would soften up mores

    Hot N’ Fast

    Thanks everyone! I did like the short cook, maybe some more hot n fast in the future. Just got to figure out how to get some more smoke since I only have pellet grills.

    Hot N’ Fast

    Finally did a 21.91lber hot and fast. I used @chilerelleno extreme hot and fast method as something to go off of. I used my rec teq BFG and started on lo for ~1.5 hrs then went to 275 for about 2 hrs, then cranked it up to 375, spritzed a few times with pineapple juice before wrapping, wrapped...

    Just bought my first pellet BBQ (Camp Chef Woodwind 24) - my experience so far... meh.

    That is one cost to pay with a pellet smoker, since they burn so efficient there is a lack of “smoke” flavor. Being able to sleep at night during an overnight cook is priceless though. The smoke tube will help, also running at a lower temp to start helps as well. I use a tube in my rec tec and...

    Holding briskets in cold garage.

    @forktender @chef jimmyj No worries on the hijack, lol. I’ve enjoyed the stories!! On to the thread though... now the temp forecast says it is supposed to be a Low of 21 degrees the night I’ll be putting them in the garage. As mentioned I’ll have them in covered foil pan. I know meat can start...

    Holding briskets in cold garage.

    The garage is unattached , and cracking the door is an option. I did think about putting a temp probe between two briskets in a pan to monitor. I would like to keep all the other items in my fridge and not move them to a cooler with ice, and then back to the fridge. I’ll have 5-6 packers (not...

    Holding briskets in cold garage.

    I am going to be smoking several briskets for folks on Christmas Day. With all the other things I need to keep cold I will not have room in my fridge for all the meat. Has anyone ever kept thawed/trimmed briskets in their cold garage for ~24hrs? Supposed to be a low of 28 Wednesday night and...

    Massive brisket advice.

    Whenever I decide to do the 22lber I will definitely go hot and fast!

    Massive brisket advice.

    Thanks for the quick links! I will now be doing at least 3 whole packers (one of them being the last SRF Gold I’ve been holding onto for myself) I’m worried the 22lber will be throwing the timing of the other 2 off. Not sure I wanna try a hot n fast for the first time with a Wagyu in the BFG. I...

    Massive brisket advice.

    So now I have other peeps on the Christmas brisket bandwagon and will probably be doing 2-3 more (maybe more) “normal” size briskets 12-15lb. I’m thinking it may be better just to save the 22lber for a rainy day, just to make it easier for timing purposes. Any thoughts??
