    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    I’ve done a ton of snakes in my kettle. Once up to temp (say 250 or whatever your target temp is), I tend to get a clean burn after that. It will be a white yucky smoke for the first 45 minutes to an hour until the pit settles in. Then I get a clearer blue after that. I will put chunks of...

    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    Glad it’s working out for you. I think the biggest issue with the design of the Smokefire, and it’s a manageable issue if you know what is going on, is that you need to have your own drip pans in the smoker especially when doing something like a pork butt or multiple butts. If you don’t, or...

    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    Anyone that smokes with Charcoal, let’s the charcoal settle in before putting meat onto the smoker. If you add your meat to a freshly lit smoker, then you will be eating something that tastes like a cigarette. Otherwise, one can get a heavier or lighter smoke taste depending on how you run the...

    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    Don’t own one, but you can do a simple google search and get loads of information. From the most part, the design leads to grease fires, but there are ways of combating that.

    Once Upon A Time, Called Right Now

    I will never buy the Pearl milling crap. Can’t believe the dissed Aunt Jemima like that.

    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    The pellet grills that routinely gets high marks for putting excellent smoke flavor on meat are the Mak grills. They cost an arm and a leg though. If you can afford one, they are hard to beat though. I’ve heard good things regarding the smoke flavor of the Weber Smoke-fire, but they tend to...

    Pellet grills/smokers

    I don’t own one, but have heard decent things about the Grilla Grills. I doubt it’s like a good insulated cabinet smoker, but sure it helps some. Besides a lot of the heat that rises goes right out the chimney anyway. Another that has an insulated smoking box is a Smokin Brothers pellet grill...

    Pellet grills/smokers

    Grilla are similar in design to Rectec, but comes standard with inulated cooking chambers. Better for the cold frigid north.

    Suggestions, please!

    An insulated cabinet smoker like a Humphrey would work fine in that. Just a option for charcoal.

    Which gravity smoker?

    I only had one bridge in my Limo and it was the cook after trying some el cheapo Walmart off brand briquettes. It left a sticky residue in the chute which I scraped out and then has worked fine since. I have had great success and love the flavor of Kingsford Professional and Jealous Devil...

    Which gravity smoker?

    I’ve known several people with Baby Stumps, and none have said they had a bridging issue. Sorry to hear that. What kind of charcoal did you use?

    Which gravity smoker?

    Stumps Baby is about the best smaller sized gravity I know of. You can find them used every now and then for a decent price. Will last forever if cared for. These are very good quality units. I like a bigger size though, like the Limo Jr, I have. I don’t need to cook a ton of food, but at...

I also have a cell phone/ battery charger I got off of Amazon that can run it quite a bit longer just linking one usb cable from the battery...

    Looking for recommendations on cookware?

    I’ve had a similar All Clad set for close to 30 years and they are as good today as the day I bought them. Also have some of their non sticks pans, and while the non stick functions just ok, they have also held up fine which is saying something for non stick cookware, which often flakes off...

    Deciding on new smoker

    They are excellent smokers. The builder is Scott Smith who also decks out competition trailers. He’s been making Gravity fed units for some time and primarily sells to competition cooks. Georgia has several nice Gravity fed manufacturers. Deep South, Assassin, Southern Q and the granddaddy...

    Deciding on new smoker

    Both are good. I like gravity fed units, so would lean towards the Assassin (It was #2 on my list when I bought my Southern Q), but given your proximity to Humphreys, it would be hard not to get one of their units. I like being able to drive to the manufacturer, shake hands with the builder...

    Weber 26 inch Kettle

    The 26” is one of the best values out there, and about the most versatile grill/smoker there is.

    New smoker old brazos dxl

    Brave for a new offset user. I’d do the $4.5 pound brisket to start, or better yet a $2.00 pork butt, mainly to get used to how the cooker cooks. Good luck, looks like a nice pit.
