    Favorite Pellethead wood fuel

    I use LumberJack 100% pellets and mix when I want to, for example I will mix Hickory,Maple,Apple, Cherry for ribs and pork butt, however I must say that I still use the tube with cherry, oak and apple pellets for additional smoke.If you use low temps like under 210 most pellet cookers produce a...

    Not sure if I replied to this yet: Used Ground pork and ground sausage (hot and sweet) The amount depends on how big you want to go. The recipe forum here has a good tutorial on bacon weave (use search for "bacon weave" will get you right there. Sliced up about 8 fresh jalapenos (seeded and...

    New Yoder YS640 Just Arrived...in CT

    also the reason for 1/2" is that it allows for the probed to be inserted (with the curve ) based on MAV temp probe. Other probes you may not need that clearance if the connectors can be removed and attached.

    New Yoder YS640 Just Arrived...in CT

    I'm at work so briefly I can say that using MAV probes I can fit at least 4 probes thru easily. I insert the temp probe from the outside into tthe chamber since the connector will not fit thru. Let me know if this helps - I'll look at the link later tonight.

    Got some good experience with the Yoder

    Great, will have to try.  I actually did do the braise tonight, HOWEVER, the twist is that I floured/seared them on my gas side burner, sauteed the vegetables (onions, carrots, celery rough chop)  in the large same pan (removed the short ribs first), then added a whole bottle of red wine, put...

    Affordable Cooking Pellets

    I'm out on the east coast (CT) and had very little success finding pellets.  Finally came across a CookingPellets dealer about 30+ miles away, not bad and the price was not too bad, but still a bit expensive. In the meantime I was buying online at $1/lb so tried BBQ Delight, LumberJack and...
