    Where’s the smoke flavor?

    You will never get the same smoke flavor period. Perhaps in the SmokeFire that has a smoke boost option to impart more smoke flavor. I upgraded from a Smoking-it electric smoker to the Weber SmokeFire and yes the smoke flavor is less subtle, although I like it more. Electric smolders the wood...

    The Smokfire has landed !!!

    What I have learned on mine with a few cooks is depending on the temp you need to add more pellets. When doing a brisket, place it on the top shelve and add a drip pan under it on the regular grate so it can catch the drippings. Done 2 briskets on the bottom rack and they have slightly...

    Pellets

    Thanks Tallbm. Will definitely do some testing to get this smoker to where is producing good quality food. Noticed this past weekend with the ribs that the bark was slightly dry even though i was spraying every 30 minutes. So lots of testing with everything right now in hopes to get it dialed...

    Pellets

    I bought one already on amazon which seems to do the same as every other one. My only concern is, will it give me the same flavor as my electric smoker since is slowly smoldering compared to pellets that are burned in the flame almost the same as a stick burner. I'm going to do some testing...

    That could work. I am heading tomorrow 1.5 hour away to get a very nice supply of B&B at $5 a pop for 40lb bags. Hopefully based on recommendations here, it is a good pellet. I reached out to Jealous Devil to buy bulk but the price is insane and does not include freight or taxes. On the other...

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Based on this forum alone, lots of folks love recteq and lots think is glorified. Based on watching a lot of youtube and such i ended with Weber EX6 and used it this past saturday. I have a weber grill that has been uncovered for the past 5 years and doesnt have a single spot of rust. Just...

    Tremendously because i did not think of doing that and it totally makes sense. I need to research into the tube, something like amazen or whatever is called i guess. Yeah i just burned through 20 lbs of pellets in basically 1 cook.

    Yeah based on this i tried this weekend Jealous Devil and today i should be getting a shipment of Knotty Wood Plum to try. I need to get my hands on lumber jack to try as well. I can tell you to almost stay away from Jealous Devil, did the burn in of my EX6 at 450 and cooked 3 racks or ribs at...

    I've been wanting to get a stick burner for some time now, due to being rented I am unable to do so at the time due to not wanting to move an 800lb smoker around from place to place. Anyways I pulled the trigger and got myself a Weber EX6 so I can enjoy better bbq until I get me the stick...

    Thanks all for the advice so far specially on the wood. I was able to jump on offerup and fb marketplace and have already close to a cord of oak. Hopefully I can get my hands on some pecan soon. I bought a Stihl MS250 chainsaw and a hydraulic splitter from HF. Definitely worth it specially with...

    Between the workhorse and lang, purely looks. I like the traditional look of the stick butner compared to square fireboxes and opposite side smoke stack.
