    Camp Chef Pro DLX not smoking a lot

    Nope no smoke coming out of chimney the whole time. And the smoker keeps internal temps fine the whole time. It is a bit colder here in CT today. Around 40 degrees out. I just pulled the Corned beef. Finished cooking in 4.5 hrs. Internal temp of 200.

    Camp Chef Pro DLX not smoking a lot

    All great ideas!! Thanks all! I purchased 2 bags of Lumber Jack Hickory online. Its arriving today. May need to test out and smoke something this weekend! I normally smoke at 225 high smoke setting. But may try lowering it. And then if still not smokey enough il try a smoke tube!

    Camp Chef Pro DLX not smoking a lot

    Ok thanks. Got to see if i can find it on Amazon. You ever think of setting up some plywood wind blockers at all? Im in CT and sometimes it does get windy so i clamp plywood planks to my deck to try and block the wind.

    Smoking chicken drumsticks

    It was kind of 1/2 and 1/2. I could of turned it up earlier to crisp it up. I didnt time how long it cooked. Although i think it was around 2 hrs. I probed 2 of them and waited till internal temp was just over 165.

    Smoking chicken drumsticks

    Hi. So i follow the basics on the brine and use something similar to this (attached). Obv go less than what it says since this recipe is for a whole turkey. And i often go a little lighter in the salt. I also sometimes throw in some onion/garlic powder too. Then i used a premade dry rub...

    Pellet Smoker Storage?

    Do you guys with Pellet Smokers store your grill inside our outside covered? I have been putting mine away in the garage after each use... which is quite tedious. Can these grills be storred outside with pellets still in them? I know that moisture can cause the pellets to swell and could...

    Thanksgiving turkey was so good, I'm smoking another one

    I cant speak to that.. but you could always throw it in the oven or on a grill at higher temp to crisp the skin up. I turned my smoker up to 350 towards the end to crisp up the skin.

    Smoking chicken drumsticks

    I plan to turn it up the last 1/2 hour or so. To like 350 maybe. These pellet smokers are amazing-ly easy!
