    Indirect Ribeye Steak

    Those are some great looking cuts, and nice cook on them. Good job, I would have seared them a bit more on the fireside but opinions come in all shapes. Still I would eat them and enjoy every minute of it. Good job great looking steaks, and good job cooking them.

    Mildest Smoke Pellets

    Smoke on a pellet is controlled by temp when a recipe calls for 225 go 250 or 275. Your food will cook a bit faster but there will be a lot less smoke from your pellet grill. However the smoke is much cleaner on a pellet grill. Has your wife complained about things you cooked on your grill?

    Lumberjack, I am in Arizona that has BBQIsland and I use those pellets. I am getting great smoke flavor. Lumberjack is a close second, I would use them as a good all round pellet.

    You will be fine, for pork but you need to start worrying if you are pushing 300 or more.

    1st full packer disappointed (pic heavy)

    I think you trimmed it a bit much, and prime is the way to go you should se marbling through the meat. I am just starting to get to the point where I can tell a good brisket from a bad one at the meat shop. I would also go a bit lighter on the rub.

    Pitboss smoke setting

    Yeah I only really follow the smoke rule on poultry. I try to get it above 140 in 2-3hrs. Never got sick off the food I smoked. Keeping your grill clean, and working proper will do more to keep you healthy tan time spent in smoke mode.

    Seeking advice on my technique

    Sounds like you need a temperature controller, or your charcoal is wet.

    Brisket in Kamodo?

    You can also get a temp controller, I developed one for my Kamado, at I can get 20hrs of 225 on a full load of lump. You will have to stir every 8 hours to get the ash out but it can be done. I do briskets all the time on it and they turn out awesome.

    New Kamado grill questions

    Get the biggest ceramic you can afford, but it is worth the money to get the kamado joe for it‘s ease of use and options. I know it blows out your budget, but it is worth it.

    Pit Boss? My head is spinning with options

    Yes the PID controller will control temps very accurately. Most the smoke you get on a pellet smoker is from when the pellets are smoldering. The time based ”cheap” controllers will allow the pellets to ketch on fire then smolder out, and then it will feed more pellets in and they will smolder...

    Pit Boss? My head is spinning with options

    I have all of the grills, and if you are looking only for a smoker the pit boss vertical is for you. If you want a good all a rounder that does more than Smoke then the vertical will not work out. Yes you can get the vertical up to 350-400 but you have to take out the water pan and it will make...

    Pit Boss Lexington

    Cover cover cover! Right side is a bit hotter than the left side. Do not let any rain hit that smoker or water get in it. Otherwise pellet jams will occur. If you have high humidity remove the pellets or run the hopper down weekly. Vacuum out the fire pot every other cook.

    Charcoal vs Pellets vs Wood vs Gas vs Electric

    I am in Arizona and have looked at the wood supplier, I can get better pricing if I buy a larger amount of wood. I just don’t cook enough on it to really go that route. My offset is a cheapo Oklahoma joe, and it is smaller which makes it difficult to control temps.

    Vertical Pellet Smoker or Pellet Grill?

    I have a pit boss series 4 got for my birthday, it is a great smoker at a cheap price. I have every type of grill, pellet stick, gas, and kamado joe. I find the pit boss works best for long low slow sessions. It can make food that rivals the stick burner you sound like you have all the other...
