    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    If you are looking at spending serious money go with the Yoder, I have a smoke fire I love the grill it was a flop in the beginning but they have finally made it work right. Everyone will have their opinion. I like the sear on the smoke fire, and it's smoke mode.

    Calling all Arizona or Hot Weather Smokers

    Yeah I don’t fire up my offset when it’s pushing 110. To hot, for that.

    Recommendation?

    The Webers are simple easy, but they do require cleaning. The pitboss are cheap and no WiFi. GMG, and Rec Tec are simple, but don’t really grill.

    SmokeFire Ex6

    I have a kamado and it is the second most versatile grill. It is a battleship it holds it‘s set temp, but try getting it from smoke to 700 degrees takes an hour. Love cooking rotisserie chicken on the kamado does a great job!

    Well grill daddy has a PID controller. I am working on a PID controller for that model. Would you be interested in being a beta tester? PM me if you want to try a Pellet Master.

    Wood Pellet storage

    I use lowes or home depot 5 gallon paint buckets. I live in Arizona so I am not to worried about the seal just leave anything wet out for 1 hour and it will be dry. I wouldn't trust them to any place that has an average of 50% humidity or higher.

    Which Pellet Smoker?

    If you want a good smoker, and a decent grill then the smokefire might work for you. It has some issues, like you will have to put a drip pan under your meat if your smoking pork butts, or brisket. A bit of a pain to clean out. If your looking for a dedicated smoker on the cheap the pit boss...

    Pit Boss or Smoke Daddy. Who's to blame?

    I have a pro series pit boss, and I developed my own controller for it. Now it is the best smoker I have. However, most people don't have those types of skilz. I used a small pit boss Lexington as the red headed step child (put parts that you can buy off amazon to develop the controller). The...

    SmokeFire Ex6

    I definitely recommend the smoke fire. There are very few if any pellet grills that will go from smoke to 600 degrees in 6 minutes. My poor gas grill is no longer getting much attention, as the smoke fire does what a smoker does and then what a grill does. They have fixed a lot of issues, I did...

    First Brisket a Success

    Good job, from the peanut gallery. How’s it taste? My first brisket was a bomb taste was good but dry as the sahara desert.

    SmokeFire Ex6

    There is a timer function on the grill, and yes a low temp alarm would be nice. I just put in a PID controller I developed and built on my pit boss cabinet smoker and it will spam you with text messages when the grill goes wonky, like opening the door/lid. I like Weber’s execution of the app for...

    pit boss vertical pellet smoker takes FOREVER to cook

    I have found raising the water tray from the lowest rack up to the second or third rack helps a lot with this. The remote probe placement is also important, if it is to close to any wall or front glass you will find it reports a hotter temperature than over the water pan, experiment with your...

    SmokeFire Ex6

    This weekend I also went out and purchased a Smokefire ex4. I have done 3 cooks on it. Brats, then dogs, and finally some steaks. I find that it does get to 600 degrees. It did a lot of firmware updates when first set up. So far so good, I am doing a pork butt on it today. I want to see if I get...

    Pellet Smoker Recommendation for Family of 3 under $500

    Pitboss vertical you will have enough money for a cover and several bags of pellets. I have every grill type that burns fuel charcoal gas stick burner pellet. The pitboss pellet smoker rivals my stick burner with smoke taste without the ordeal of managing a fire.

    Pellet Smoker Recommendation for Family of 3 under $500

    I would go with the pitboss cabinet they can hold large amounts of pellets. Won’t break the bank, and if you ever want can do a lot of food. Plus the cost is within your budget.

    Brisket Buy - shocker!

    Not to knock Kroger but I find they like their briskets a bit much. You would be better off with a Sams Club or Costco brisket. You can get prime for the same price but a much better cut of meat. Kroger briskets are way too much hard fat and not enough marble for my taste. I started off on those...
