    Yoder Pellet Smoker fuel consumption

    The only thing I can say was it was set at 350 degrees and they were Pit Boss Apple wood pellets, I would like to hear from others on their thoughts. It had just occurred to me that I have only given the cook time, I leftout the start up time before I actually put the meat in the smoker which...

    Yoder Pellet Smoker fuel consumption

    I tried the wrapping the rib routine many years ago and tossed it rather quickly. I also prefer a slight tug when I bite into a rib.

    Yoder Pellet Smoker fuel consumption

    This is my first pellet smoker so I guess Im using what I know works for my offset stick burner and cabinet smokers ( charcoal ). Ill try the lower temp on my next brisket. Although I was very pleased with the results from my first smoke.

    I was running 250 but I have to admit I was opening it a lot to check out how it was going. Ill keep track of usage and type of pellets as far as taste goes. Ill start a log and see how it goes from there. I had a Klose offset and a Pitmaker safe before, but this is the first pellet smoker for me.

    Thinking I need to toss my first attempt....

    Hi First I was wondering what was the weight of the butt ? Its really depends on the size of the meat and the temp of the smoker, but to me 5 hours is not that long of a smoke it can take quite a long time to smoke a butt, but you really want an internal temp of around 200 degrees and for me I...
