I put my 11lb. brisket on my Pit Boss pellet smoker at 5:30 this morning, expecting it to smoke for about 6 to 8 hours before hitting 165 degrees. Smoker is set to 225 and is running between 210 - 230. This reading comes from both the digital on the smoker and my own probe laying on the grate. 4...

i’m planning to smoke my first brisket on my new Austin XL this weekend and I’m wondering about settings. Do you guys use the smoke setting or set it to 225 for the low and slow? If smoke, what “P” setting did you use? Does using 220-225 still give a good smoke flavor the the meat?

So I’m planning on smoking a couple of chickens this weekend. I’m going to wet brine and spatchcock the birds before throwing them on the smoker. I’ve only had this smoker for a short time and have only done ribs and wings so far. Is it okay to use the “smoke” setting for 30-40 minutes before...

After my ME 30 crapped out on me I decided to get a pellet grill/smoker. After a lot of reading of reviews, comparisons, and feedback from people in this group that have experience with them, I got myself the Pit Boss Austin XL pellet smoker. Just in time for Memorial Day weekend. As a matter of...

I regularly smoke ribs, chicken, pork, and fatties but I don’t do brisket very often at all. So as the title says, this is only my 2nd one. 7 pound flat with a nice fat cap went into my Masterbuilt electric at 6:00 AM. Hit 150 after about 5 hours and stalled. Didn’t hit 170 till probably another...

Hadn't planned to smoke this weekend since they kept calling for rain but when the rain never came, I decided to do a butt. It's only a 4.5 pounder but was all could find on a Sunday before Labor Day. Seasoned it up Sunday evening and put on the smoker at 8 this morning. Smoke temp stayed around...

Decided to try a fatty for the first time today in celebration of the eclipse. I did all my prep work last night so that I could get everything into the smoker early this morning. I'm using an MES 30 with the AMNPS loaded with hickory pellets. Fatty went in the smoker about 6AM at 230 but my...

So I recently bought a new MES 30 digital smoker. This is my first smoker ever and I've committed myself to smoking a small brisket flat (5 lb.) for a small dinner with friends on the 4th of July. I'm planning to keep it simple with only salt and pepper for the seasoning. I want to pull the...

Hello everyone. I'm brand new to smoking and have committed myself to smoking a brisket for the 4th of July. I've decided to keep it simple as possible and just season the brisket with salt and pepper. Any advice for a newbie is always appreciated. I'll also be scrolling through the other forums...
