    Trying new technique for Pork Butt plus quick question

    I'll have to try this. I do my pork butts overnight. I do them at 225° overnight (usually start around 11pm) then in the morning crank it up to 275° to finish to temp. Rest for a couple hours and all is good. I have a pellet smoker so just sent a temp alarm for low or high temp and go to...

    A smoker for camping?

    Does anyone have a RV and a smoker that they take with them? I'd like to get a smoker for traveling (my Smoke Daddy vertical is too big) but I have some questions. First, what about the smell? Once you smoke it in you can't just "clean" it out 100% (that would be un-fun as well) and I don't...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Ohh, for anyone who is thinking of buying one of these: 1) I've not had a single problem. No errors or other things I was worried about. So far, it just works. Not sure how many hours it can go as I've not smoked over 6-7 hours at a time and it doesn't even use half of the hopper so I think...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Well figured I'd update everyone since I've had a couple more smokes and have I think finally gotten the results I'm looking for. Last weekend invited family over for a good smoke. Make several racks of ribs and two chuck roast. Ribs: I cooked ribs Friday night, same 225° as usual. I did...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Yes I am so glad I've had such great comments, it helps to have experience guide you. I am sure I will end up loving this, just got to figure out how to get the smoke. I will try the chunks directly on the diffuser in a foil boat as you mentioned see if I can't get some thick smoke. From...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Wow thanks all. That is a lot of info to digest. I have made another smoke on Friday and maybe will do another tomorrow. Here's what I did, and the results: 1) As to wood chips on diffuser, unfortunately when I tried to put a pan on there the grease tray above it would not sit right...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    RCAllen, thank you so much for the tips. I know I got good wood smoke from my gas grill, so it can be done with chips / chunks just a matter of using what I got. I'm not opposed to redoing everything I've done just to get a good baseline to start from. As to temp, I'm smoking everything at...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    A couple things: 1) Don't smoke in a screened in lanai. It was raining so I It got hard to bear at some times since the air doesn't move through it quite like it does outdoors. Wife does not approve, and every time I went outside some smoke got in house. Lesson learned. 2) I couldn't keep...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Well smoke #2 under way. Today it's supposed to rain so doing this on my Lanai... Wife does not approve, but it's far from the worse thing I've done :) Tomorrow will be beautiful and before this one even gets going I'm already planning it. I bought some extra-fine wood chips, a bucket of oak...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Thanks for the tips. I'm going to try again this weekend with some more ribs. It is really important to me to get the smoke flavor, otherwise it's just a glorified oven. I'm going to go full tilt boogie this time. I have an AMAZN tube gonna fill it with Mesquite pellets. Gonna get some lump...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Okay so my first smoke was today. I guess I'm happy, and sad, with the results. Happy because it kept the temp right where I wanted it, sad because it didn't get the smoke flavor that I'm accustomed to. Really sad because if I can't get that heavy smoke that my family has came to love I'm...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    The filter canister looking thing is the Big Kahuna cold smoke generator. I'm about 2.5 hrs into my ribs I'm hoping to eat for lunch :) I have been monitoring remotely and temp is staying pretty flat so I'm happy. I just went out and checked and the chips in the cold smoke generator were...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker

    Well I bit the bullet and bought one. While I was doing my research I couldn't find much information on this smoker. There are quite a few YouTube videos, but they are all by the manufacturer or people that I think are affiliated with them. I don't mind this, but it's not what I would call an...

    Vertical Smokers

    Thanks for the list I've got some searching to do. I like the pit boss from $ and apparent features. I live in Florida so insulated isn't much of a concern for me as far as cold weather. The brunswick is the one I would buy today if I could, but it's out of stock on Walmart.com :( and I can't...

    Vertical Smokers

    Who all makes the vertical type pellet smokers? I'm looking for a new one and have seen the PitBoss, Louisiana Grills, Camp Chef, Pellet Pro, am I missing any? I'm needing to pull the trigger here soon since my gasser died and just want to see if I'm missing anything? Really looking for a...

    Looking to replace my Masterbuilt PRO smoker

    I always got good flavor with my gas, but I use chips in the pan (with foil covering) and would have billowing smoke the whole time. But I had to keep an eye on it and replenish the chips every couple hours. The lure of the pellet smoker to me is the set it and forget it. Since I always smoke...

    Looking to replace my Masterbuilt PRO smoker

    Thanks. I have a grill and don't want another "grill" out back. Plus the vertical smokers usually have a lot of space. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you mention PitBoss. I like their 7-series but the internet seems to be full of people who have had problems which scares me. But, I also am well...

    Looking to replace my Masterbuilt PRO smoker

    After 5 or 6 years this smoker is giving up the ghost. Given that I keep it outside, and don't cover it, I'm surprised it lasted this long. So, I'm wanting to get a new smoker soon. I have a good grill, at least one I really like and am not looking for a "grill" type pellet smoker. Traeger...

    Pork Shoulder, Fail?

    New guy here but I'd like to reiterate what was said above:  Watch out for the juices!  A few years ago while barefoot grilling I pulled a foil pack with grease off the grill and it spilled on my foot (can rip using tongs!).  Grease doesn't boil at 212° and can be much, MUCH hotter.  Scalded...
