I crank it up all the way, got it over 400 today, then back off on the flame after the wood gets going and the white smoke goes away. It settled at 270,
They have SPOG with some paprika.
I converted a wsm18 to propane and it works great. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/heres-my-rig.287752/#post-1964518
It was a gift so no complaints, but I would rather have the 22.
I’m trying my first smoked meatloaf later today, and have about 2.5 pounds of ground beef.
I usually run my smoker around 275 for pork/beef, but it looks like most everyone smokes meatloaf around 225 for 3+ hours.
Does a higher temp have any negative impacts with meatloaf?
Also, I noticed it...
I use splits I've cut in half, and chunks. When I start the smoker I crank it high (300+) to get the wood to ignite, then turn the temp down and it eventually smolders.
I've noticed people with pellet burners running on a very low temp for a while and then upping the temp after a few hours. Is this to prolong the time the meat is under 140 for smoke ring and under 170 to absorb smoke flavor?
I started smoking big chucks (4lb+) like this since briskets aren't always available locally. It's become my favorite.
We have a new costco nearby so hopefully getting briskets won't be a big deal now, but I really like that there's no trimming work needed with a chuck roast.
Do you need to be concerned about the moisture and the pellets clumping together? It might make sense to add dry pellets periodically to avoid clogging the hopper/feeder.
I noticed your propane conversion in your other thread, and I've done one too (WSM18).
The nice folks who helped told me a couple things for my conversion:
1. Propane likes a lot of air, so I drilled extra holes in the bottom of my wsm
2. Crank it up full blast to warm it up and get the wood...
