    Vertical pellet smokers q?

    Things like jerky or fish snacks I prefer a light smoke and running on low with the traeger produces smoke for the whole 5-6 hours. great for some things , not so great for others. I had an mes30 with amzn pellet tray. Don’t find it as reliable, more then 50% of the time it does not stay lit...

    Is there a better way

    What is the BEST way to get , as close to “set and forget”, consistent smoke in an electric box smoker . I have had an amzn pellet tray for years and it is hit and miss. sometimes requires way to much screwing around. This is mostly for smokes lower than 225 , cured fish, jerky,meat sticks etc...

    10 Man meals ?

    Another question would be. If I smoke on Sunday. How many days would/could you keep it in the fridge before serving? Am I better off freeze packing it right away then thawing the day before. Max would be 7 days. Not to concerned about taste with freezing, liquor will most likely be involved...

    10 Man meals ?

    how many pounds of meat would you need for 10 hungry guys. Everything will be pre done before the trip. Thinking pulled pork would be easiest. Pre pull it before the trip then just need to warm it up and eat at the cabin. Any other ideas for a big group ? Mac and cheese Maybe beef brisket on...

    Cold smoke , how does it look?

    It does look a lot better after sitting in the fridge. It smoked for almost 6 hours and smells good, just wasn't sure about the texture.

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Couple questions? What is the low temp max on this smoker ( the new Bluetooth one)? Does it hold a low temp just as good as what it holds at your 230 range temps? Do you still use your amnps in this all the time or does the chip tray ignite better at lower temps? Reason for these questions...

    Trying to get fit

    Veggies , low salt jerky for protiens. Once you lose the pounds you can't gain muscle without eating properly. One thing that guys trying to build muscle do is eat a lot! But they eat properly . White chicken, lean meats. Or start protien supplement.

    Opinions on best buy pellet smokers

    If you do a lot of jerky , sausage, fish stuff you might want to have a lower temp I wouldn't recommend traeger. Smoke mode mine will hold out at 200• 225 mode for ribs etc I've seen the digital gauge go up 265. I would say it holds temp to good that's why the temps swings so high , it's...
