    Making own wood pellets - advice?

    Thanks everyone for the help. Unfortunately I don't think there are any pellet makers on island so it's not an option, which is why I was looking to it as a new business. Biochar is an interesting idea I hadn't considered. Either way, thanks again.

    Making own wood pellets - advice?

    Thanks everyone. Mesquite is one of the woods, the others being mango and strawberry guava. (Mango being less common.) My big issue is whether we could make it feasible to do. We literally cut down thousands a year so it comes down to how hard it is to make usable pellets with them. What...

    Making own wood pellets - advice?

    Has anyone done this? I work in conservation and we remove lots of invasive trees that would be perfect for wood pellets, but I've only seen a few DIY tips online. Has anyone done it? What is needed? How much of a pain is it? Any advice is welcome.

    Quick help with smoking Pork Butt

    Thanks. I hadn't even factored in the stall, to be honest. What would you recommend? Wrap or put a pan of water in with the pork.

    Quick help with smoking Pork Butt

    It says on the packaging "bone-in." I too was surprised thinking it would be boneless given the size, but I live in a place with limited options. The only other option was a different store with 13lbs which was way too much for me to do.

    Quick help with smoking Pork Butt

    This will be my first time smoking anything. I just got a pellet grill and am going to do pork butt as a starter. The basics, to make sure I got it right: - I couldn't find sufficient size, so I got 2 - 2.5lbs bone-in boston butt - I will smoke at 225 - I am planning on it taking about 5 hours...
