I usually use Louisiana brand. Several places locally carry them, and all varieties produce good smoke. Price is a little high at $35/40lbs, but still less than a $1.00/lb so I don't complain too much.

Pellet selection does matter. I've had some (forget the brand, it was when I first started) that produced almost no smoke flavor. The Grill can make a difference as well. On my PG500 I can get smoke at almost any temp, up to 450 or so, by adjusting the LHT/HHT settings. The difference is the...

IMHO best combo on the market is the Fast Eddy/Cooks hack PG500 or 1000 or the Englander Pellets grill which was also designed by Fast Eddy. I grill more than I smoke, and would still buy it just for the grilling capabilities, or just the smoker but get a double win with both

I am guessing you have the drip pan right over the heat. Put some water in the pan. You are probably burning the drippings as they first start running the rest. Use to have the same problem on my vertical gas smoker. The dry but I would guess is either cooking to high of a temp or going to...

Nope smoked on the rack the entire time, no wrapping. Use to use a pan, but started getting lazy and most of the drippings were fat. The last pic has a bit of JJ's finishing sauce, for flavor but plenty juicy without it.

Who says a pellet grill won't make a smoke ring or moist food.

Thanks, it ended up with great flavor and very moist

Off the smoker and resting up.

Not sure about GMG specifically but a lot of local dealers will through in setup and delivery and a few bags of pellets to make it a better deal. That is what I did for my PG500 a few years ago. They not only put it on my deck but took my old gasser off, saving me the trouble of finding a...

Pellets aren't "that" expensive. I get 40# page from the local ACE for 35, and usually have a $10 discount on a 50 purchase so can get 80 lbs for 60. It depends on the unit how many you will burn through. I will probably use 8 or so pounds on my butt today. I could do a bulk buy and save a...

12 hours in. Stalled at 158

First weekend of College Football calls for low and slow. Put the shoulder on at 2:00 am shooting for a 5:30 Southern Miss kickoff. Rubbed up yesterday afternoon. Loaded the PG500 with apple at 2:00 am. 6:45 looking good

Not sure why you noticed it more on the ribs the first day, but I can say from my personal experience stuff tastes better to me the next day. Being in the smoke all day deadening the senses to the smoke taste.

Yeah not sure what they come with now, but originally the pg500 had cast iron. Fast Eddy started selling the stainless on his own from pelletheads about a year after I bought my grill. Guessing since you got it from cookshack they must have picked up the production/sales.

It is a deal fast Eddy has with new englander. So there are some small differences between this and the Cookshack units. It came out right after I got my PG500 so I didn't look too much into the differences. Great looking cooks Tweaked. You will have to update on how the stainless great...

10 hours is about the minimum for a butt in the 225-250 range.

Same thing can happen with a pellet grill. That is why they say open the door when lighting them.

If you have any questions about it let me know. I've had mine 2.5 years and nothing but good things to say about it. Though most owners here will tell you the same about their rigs, so you just have to figure out what is different between the units and which of those features seems most...

If you are wanting to replace your grill I would suggest looking at a Fast Eddy/Cookshack PG500 or PG1000. I replaced my grill and smoker and it works great for both.

No offense, but as I get older and wiser, I find easier ways to get the same results. The relationship with the wife has become more important than the one with my smoker. If it is your thing that relaxes you more power too you. We all need our zen. Mine has changed over time, so the...
