first i'd like to thank todd for including me in this test as well as others in the past.....
now for something that i love and have been know to make a little a bit of........BBB!
i have used the AMNS and the AMNPS for some time now and the pellets sure give off a lot of smoke and have cut my smoke times down by 1/3 to get the same smokieness. i would many times run 2 AMNSs or an AMNS and an AMNPS at the same time with 4 ends lit at once. since that has been a baseline i figured i would use that to test the new Pitmaster Blend.
here are 2 units with 4 ends lit..
here they are after 8 hrs.........2 at once for 4 hrs and then a single for 4 hrs.
all sliced up........
at first i thought the 2 at the same time was over kill since the deep color on them kinda scared me after 4hrs in but then i remembered that the mix had cherry and that cherry has always given birds a deep almost mahogany color. i then decided to just do one for the remaining time and i then sealed them for about a week until i could get to slicing them. i opened the package an the smell coming off of them were very nice but noticeably different than my usual smoke blend which is 50/25/25 of todd's hickory/pecan/maple pellets. all in all i thought the aroma was full, the taste of smoke was great but it did seem a little light. this does sometimes happen when i first slice and fry up my BBB. after it is sliced packaged and frozen for 2-3 weeks we will see how it is again. as far as performance the pellets burned just fine and gave off lots of smoke that smelled good and i would like to see how this smoke is on other meats like brats, chicken, ribs, and i might even do some chz for the first time!
