    More smoke than my Cookshack?

    Smokin-it models have the hole predrilled with a cap for when you're not using a smoke generator like their Bella.

    Grilla Mammoth

    I contacted Grilla and they told me they sent me an email notification and suggested I check my Spam folder. I did, as well as trash, no email notification. Their reply today said they hope to have new stick late June/early July.

    Grilla Mammoth

    I've thought that the supply chain issues due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore has affected deliveries.

    Grilla Mammoth

    Totally frustrating. No email saying they were back in stock after putting on the 'Wish List', just a notice on Instagram, which I never use.

    Time crunch

    Second batch of Texas hot links turned out great. Changed my recipe a bit, went with 25% brisket trim and 75% pork butt. Cool smoked in my Pit Barrel, then brought to 150 in my Weber Kettle using the slow 'n sear (cooking temp at 225). Six were finished in my sous vide as not all fit on the...

    Thanks for your replies. My drum is of the 33 gallon variety. Do you monitor the ambient temp inside the drum? Mine can start around 85 - 100, depending on cloud cover. In the sun temps can get up to 140. If I move to the shade they stay between 125-131.

    I used a smoke tube with Traeger pecan pellets. Set it on the bottom my Pit Barrel. Did a pretty good job. I started hanging sausages but color was uneven, more on the top closest to the lid. So I put them all on the grate that is about 8-10 inches below the lid. Finished nicely. What drum...

    Interesting experience using my sous vide to finish. It took about 3 hours to get all sausages past 140 degrees. The were plumper but not by much.

    First time

    I made 3lbs of cured Texas Hot Links (recipe at 2 Guys and a Cooler) last night. I let cure in the fridge for 13 hours, then cool smoked in my drum using Traeger Plum Pellets for 5 hours. Temps in the drum started at 100 degrees and topped out at 140. Internal sausage temp was 115. Plunged...
