    Brisket cooking fast

    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...

    Pit Boss Grill Question about brisket settings

    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 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...

    First Butt

    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...

    My First Fatty (Breakfast) with QVue

    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...
