Hello from eastern Nebraska. I've been practicing the dark arts most of my life, grew up helping dad and uncles and now dabble plenty on my own. Smoking meat runs in my family and has for generations. I primarily process my own wild game into jerky, summer sausage, sticks, etc. I also enjoy...
Hey all, this machine is probably the best pellet grill I have tried. I have gone through a few. I have had it for about 15 months, and I have done about 30 cooks on it during that time. I would have done more, but I have been getting more and more into open-fire cooking. I recently pulled the...
Three month old MAK One-Star General pellet grill
If you’re not familiar with MAK Grills, they are a very well-respected high-end pellet grill manufacturer based in Oregon. Their grills are Made in the USA and very high quality.
I purchased this grill directly from MAK in April 2023. I’ve...
Had a prime brisket for my second try at brisket. The first go went well, everyone enjoyed it, but I knew it could be improved on. On the first attempt I tried a rub that I personally ended up not caring for, so for this second one, I decided to go with a more (Texas) traditional style, even...
Well, wanted to try a new method for brisket. The “hot hold method” that is. So…
Choice packer brisket. A little disappointed it came out of the vac seal with a weird chunk cut out of the point.
Trimmed.
My secret rub no binder (just salt and pepper for me as I love the taste of brisket and...
Hey everyone!
Want you're feedback, have a crazy but cool idea! An offset smoker that can also use pellets!
Check out pictures below of my idea / design. Very simple design. I'd have some sort of platform or something for pellet assembly to sit on.
Main purpose is for overnight smokes or...
Looking to find a new home for my Camp Chef 36" Woodwind with Side Kick. It is not the newer "Pro" version. This has the sidekick burner with flat top. You can get the flat top very hot, which is great for searing food coming out of the smoker, or for cooking up some veggies and such.
I got it...
I was curious if anyone out there has a Camp Chef Apex 24/36 pellet and propane grill. I currently don't have a pellet grill, but if my current propane grill "bites it," I thought this might be interesting to add the pellet capability. Has anyone seen/used one of these grills? Comments...
I have a temperature controlled gravity feed smoker/ outdoor oven that I have been using since last winter. It has a temperature range from 200 to 700F. It recently occured to me I could use this to replicate flavor from a wood fired oven.
It's worked out well.
E.g., just did this Bolognese...
Hi All - New to the forum. I'm not sure if this is the place for this, but I had a few questions around smoking a brisket on a pellet grill. I completed my first attempt a little while back, and while the brisket wasn't bad, it finished far earlier than expected.
First thing - equipment. I have...
Tomorrow (Tuesday) night I'll be smoking a whole chicken. I never get a good, dark color when I do this. I'm thinking it is the rub.
Unfortunately, I am not able to go to a store at the moment, so I am looking for a recipe that I can make at home.
Does anyone have a really good chicken rub to...

Good afternoon to my fellow pellet smokers,
I just picked up 60 pounds of Pit Boss pellets (Hickory and Competition) at Walmart.
Total price - $24.00

Hi! I'm planning to buy the best pellet grill. I need your thoughts on either of these 3 pellet grills or any other ones if you want to recommend them? I would like to buy at Amazon if possible for easy return if the grill has a problem.
1. Traeger pro 780
2. Camp Chef Woodwind 24"
3. Rec Teq...
Switched from a masterbuilt electric to a pit boss pro series 4 v2 vertical pellet smoker and can’t get more than a slight hint of smoke flavor on the outside of meat (no smoke flavor inside) Even after using a smoke tube. My electric always gave me lots of smoke flavor (could smell it...
Hi there,
I just bought and put together a brand new Pit Boss Platinum Laredo 1000 smoker, which is one of the ones that is only sold at Walmart. I thought I checked it pretty thoroughly before setting it up, but unfortunately some rust managed to hide from me til I stuck my head all the way...
It has been a long time since I cooked some BBQ ribs and I just got a pellet smoker grill for my birthday. We picked up some ribs from a local grocer and they appear to be preseason and sauced Kansas city style...
My question is what tips and recommendations to you have for a new pellet owner...
Hello, I just bought a pitboss 1100 from lowes been messing with this thing for about 2 weeks now. Tried smoking and everything cooks way to fast. I have it set on p7 and my temp gauge is still reading 250-290. I've messed with the cap on the smoke stack, tried different pellets. Tried looking...
Hey guys,
Lamb shanks - one of the most underestimated cuts, and absolutely undeservedly. I love those braised or, in this case, smoked pretty much the same way they smoke turkey legs. So here we go!
So simple, so delicious - few lamb shanks, rubbed with olive oil and sprinkled with Kajun...
Hi guys,
Apple cider and beef short ribs... Never thought it's gonna be that good! Very simple method - 2 hours open smoke, 2 house in a foil pan with apple cider, wrapped, and 30 min rest.
Had this very nice rack of 3 ribs. Sprinkled it with a rub from my local supplier - we call it...
