    Meadow Creek smokers?

    I came across the below smoker made by Meadow Creek when I was looking at their chicken cookers. It looks pretty solid as they're Amish built in Pennsylvania and I like the idea of cooking over a water pan as I've never been a fan of offset smokers. Anyway, does anyone here own this unit or...

    Yoder Pellet smoker

    Wingman, Those baby backs looked better than anything I've ever gotten at any BBQ joint. The YS640 was really chugging out the smoke during that cook which is always great to see. I've got another question for you though if you don't mind (If I'm starting to annoy you, just let me know). A few...

    Yoder Pellet smoker

    Wingman, Thanks for taking the time to shoot that video. As always, it's greatly appreciated. As I mentioned before, I'm just trying to learn as much about pellet grills/smokers as I can before I take the big "plunge". So far the only two I would consider are the Yoder YS640 and the Mak 2 Star...

    Yoder Pellet smoker

    Wingman, I really appreciate your input on the subject. I've owned just about every type and brand of smoker you can think of and I've never been completely satisfied with the results. I mean no disrespect to owners of the following units, but with my Cookshack and MES, I either got no smoke...

    Yoder Pellet smoker

    Wingman, I've watched all of your videos of the YS640 from SmokingPit.com and have really enjoyed them. I'm trying to learn as much about pellet grills as I can and it seems that you just may be the person I've been looking for. When I ask pellet grill owners about how smoky their end results...

    Yoder Pellet smoker

    The price of the YS640 is definitely about right for a grill of that quality, but I think I’m gonna hold out and go with a Mak 2-Star General hopefully sometime in the near future. From everything I’ve read online, the Mak seems to be the only pellet pooper on the market that’s really pushed...

    Yoder Pellet smoker

    I watched the two Youtube videos on the YS640 and the thing is built like a tank at 350 pounds. Definitely looks a lot sturdier than all the other pellet poopers on the market anyway. Any idea what the price tags for both units will be?

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    I was thinking of joining the pellet heads forum (I've just been browsing the past few months) and seeing if someone near me would actually smoke something like a pork butt and ship it to me if I covered all costs. Sounds crazy I know, but right now it seems to be the only way for me to actually...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    My main concern about pellet grills before I purchase one is the smoke flavor. I know you said that it's hard to over smoke with a pellet pooper, but wouldn't using 100% hickory pellets be the same thing as using an offset that's burning nothing but hickory logs? That's what confuses me. If I...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    Cwp777 and Carpetride,  I'd just like to say thank you for your input. Now that I know a few members here own pellet poopers, I've just got to ask. How is the overall smoke flavor? I've been browsing the pellet heads forum and the general opinion across the board with all brands of pellet...

    Powdered smoke flavoring?

    Thanks for the input everyone. I decided to pass on the powdered smoke since it doesn't really sound like much of an improvement over liquid smoke. I ended up just ordering a few "trial size" seasonings for fresh sausage from sausagesource.com instead. Psseasoning wanted $17.00 to ship an $8.69...

    Powdered smoke flavoring?

    I've noticed that a lot of sites that sell sausage seasonings also sell hickory and mesquite powdered smoke flavorings. Does anyone here have any experience with this product? Is it more or less the same as using liquid smoke in a sausage recipe or is the smoke flavor more natural? I'm getting...

    Opinions needed on a grinder

    I tried the blade the other way around the second time when I used the coarse plate and it didn't seem to make a difference. I cut the pork butt into small strips to make sure it wouldn't bog the grinder down either. I kind of planned on this happening with a cheaper unit so I'm not upset. I can...

    Opinions needed on a grinder

    Well folks, they say you get what you pay for. I took the chopped up pork butt directly from the fridge and started to grind through the medium plate and almost right away it got stopped up and wouldn't budge an inch. I double checked to make sure I had everything hooked up correctly and it was...

    Opinions needed on a grinder

    Thanks for the input everyone. I decided to go the "cheap and safe" route since this is my first real entry into the world of sausage making. I picked up a generic 250 watt meat grinder at Harbor Freight earlier today for $60.00 that came with three sausage stuffing attachments, two grinding...

    Opinions needed on a grinder

    I'm having a hard time finding grinders that come with a sausage stuffing plate (bean-shaped plate). Is this something you usually have to buy separately?

    Opinions needed on a grinder

    "Something doesn't add up. 3.4 hp I doubt it probably 3/4 hp. 3000w Cant mean 3000 watts at that power you would draw 25 amps! most house hold 120v circuts are only 15 amps. There seems to be a lot of deceptive advertizing here." That's what I was thinking and just wanted to make sure. I'm...
