Cool, and thank you. I ran it a few times just to test it out. I did a few chickens. Last weekend I did some spare ribs and country style ribs I had in the freezer. It works really well. The pellet burner produces an incredible amount of smoke considering it is a pellet burner. I have heard, and noticed, that they burn very cleanly. Once at temp, and maintaining temp, she really belches out some beautiful TBS, and that resulted in great smoke flavor and produced an incredible smoke ring. I did supplement with an AMNPS, but probably wouldn't have to. Because it is extremely well insulated, it holds heat very well. Almost too well. While it uses very little fuel, the lowest temp it will go down to is, luckily, in the 225 range. No lower. I will be exploring different controller options as the current controller that came with the pellet burner, while a very nice controller, might not have as tight a control algorithm as a PID unit. I might also mess with rheostats that control speed of the combustion air fan and/or the auger. That may be all it needs. It heats so easily that I need to tone down the heat a little by either controlling combustion air or limiting fuel, but not too much that allows the flame to extinguish. More fiddling, but that is what I love to do.....tune the shit out of everything. i will be smoking 3 racks of BBs and some more CSRs tomorrow, about 25 lbs. total. I will do my best to get some q view and maybe a video. I'd like to post a video, it's fun to watch this thing work.
Thanks, geerock. Thanks for the kind words. I know..........food porn, right?
