Has anyone done research to find the best (read cheapest) place to buy 100% hickory or 100% mesquite pellets online? Seems like I'm running across a lot if $50 to $70 price tags for 40 lb bags, which seems pretty high despite 100% flavor wood being more expensive than blends. I tend to believe...

"Why not just use the oven or a crock pot, and then toss in some liquid smoke instead of messing around with a smoker?" This question is one that a friend asked me after hearing me talk about my experiences using my pellet smoker, and my sometimes-disappointing results (not enough smoke...

Hey there, I'm looking for some heavy duty wire racks similar to the ones used for baking, but I want heavy duty ones that aren't going to be bothered by the weight of a roast or something. I'll primarily use them for wings, I think, but I figure I want to make sure it they can stand up to...

Hi there, I have $50 I need to burn at Saks (it's a credit card perk so it's spend it or lose it) and I saw that they had some honing steels sitting right around $50. I've linked them below and was hoping for some input on which one might be best. My knives are very 'meh' quality, but this...

Hi there, I'm going to be buying some butcher paper, and I've googled around, browsed the forum, and read a decent amount. I'm still left with some questions, so I'm hoping you guys can provide some clarity before I buy. 1. As I understand it, white butcher paper (like this) is bleached, and...

Hi there, I'm just getting into smoking, and it seems I could use a few tools.... and my family is demanding a gift wishlist (lol) so I'd appreciate some help identifying good accessories. The tools I'm thinking about currently are as follows: 1) Meat injector syringe. I've found these blog...

Hi there, I'm looking for a tool to clean my porcelain coated Pit Boss grill grates - I have done a bit of searching and I'm really not thrilled with the choices, so I figured I'd see what you guys use. Here are some notes regarding a few of the possible solutions that I've considered already...

I assume this is a stupid question, and I shouldn't try it, but I don't know what I don't know. Does anyone have experience using a Pit Boss that has one of the touchscreen control panels while it's raining? I was thinking maybe I could rig up something to cover the panel, but I'm not really...

Hi all, does anyone have a method of storing pellets that's 100% air and water tight? I recently grabbed a few food safe 5 gallon buckets and Gamma2 twist-down lids from Tractor Supply. They have two gaskets and are supposed to be completely leak proof and air tight. I did a quick water test...

Hi there, I just bought and put together a brand new Pit Boss Platinum Laredo 1000 smoker, which is one of the ones that is only sold at Walmart. I thought I checked it pretty thoroughly before setting it up, but unfortunately some rust managed to hide from me til I stuck my head all the way...

Hi all, I've got what I imagine are probably some stupid, overly-worried questions, but if by some chance one of these things ends up mattering, I'm going to be pissed at myself for not asking. I've never owned a smoker or done any smoking, so I'm in brand new territory. I just went out and...

Hi there, I have a shot at buying a very slightly used 20078715 for $125 or a brand new 20071117 for $100. They seem like very similar units, but I figured I should ask the authorities on the matter. For the record, I'm brand new to smoking and am interested in low cost, easy to maintain, and...
