    tri tip help

    so I have never been able to find tri-tip in my area (new england) but today I went to the store and they had it, so I bought a bunch (it was $$). I got it home and went to put some marinade on it and when I got it out of the package it was cut up into pieces. It was only a 1.6 pound steak to...

    dry crumbly ribs

    I smoked some ribs yesterday for the family and some guests. Followed my typical routine for ribs, these were baby backs. Did one hour on the "smoke" setting on my Pit Boss which runs at pretty low temp then put to 225 for another 2 hours, then foiled for 1.5. At that point they were looking...

    Trying some short rib on the Pit Boss today

    hi so just to wrap it up here is a final view of the finished product- they came out good. Not quite fork tender but tender enough. Had to deal with a flameout so that set the time back a bit, but they ended up fine.

    Trying some short rib on the Pit Boss today

    Yeah they are not cheap. I have had success in the past (with a different smoker) just using a 3-2-1 method. One thing that does make them tricky is in a pack you usually get some thick and some thin

    Trying some short rib on the Pit Boss today

    Going to go with short rib today, working around some light rain here in MA. These ribs were $$ to say the least but I wanted to give them a try. Marinated over night in some Worcestershire and a bit of Italian dressing. Then rubbed up with Rub Some Burger and on to the smoker... Gonna run...

    temperature probes for Pit Boss

    hi sorry I don't mean the temp gauge on the lid, I mean the probes you insert in the meat and then input into the Pit Boss itself so it will display the temperature, there are two ports for this. I was just surprised that any standard one would not fit, I guess I need something like this

    temperature probes for Pit Boss

    I have the Pit Boss tailgater. I bought some temperature probes at WalMart figuring they would be a standard fit. But they are too small and won't stay put in the probe holes to get the reading on the display on the front of the pellet hopper. Is there a specific type that is needed...

    new pellet from Pit Boss Whiskey Still style

    so, just to wrap this up, I ended up picking up the Trailgater Pit Boss. It is small, but big enough for what I do 90% of the time. I still have my electric smoker if/when I need bigger capacity. I have set it up with no real issues (other than having to reconnect the electrical connection a...

    new pellet from Pit Boss Whiskey Still style

    so, I do appreciate all the input and recommendations. That is why I love this forum. I don't think I need the Copperhead vertical as it is likely too big for what I normally do. I usually smoke just a few racks of ribs or a single butt, maybe 20 wings or so. that is why I am between the...

    new pellet from Pit Boss Whiskey Still style

    thanks for all the info. I can't believe the mark downs that Walmart sometimes does. i will keep monitoring. I suspect that maybe they won't mark down much with spring coming soon

    new pellet from Pit Boss Whiskey Still style

    Hi I am looking for a pellet smoker. I don't want to spend that much, the high-end ones are really pricey. I have thought hard about a Camp Chef mostly in comparison to the Pit Boss. I came across this in Walmart- https://pitboss-grills.com/whiskey-still-wood-pellet-smoker apparently it is...
