    Pit Boss Classic questions

    I was also surprised at how little pellets were used. I dumped in 20lbs, knowing that I would be pulling a lot out afterwards. I seem to remember only about 1/4 of the hopper was used. Also I don't know a whole lot about meat yet. How should spare ribs be when they are ready? I know I know...

    Pit Boss Classic questions

    I do have a Maverick thermometer but chose not to use it for the first one as I watched a lot of video on this model and all of them were right on. However in the future I will use it. I found it interesting that the analog thermometer never broke 200F but the control panel was saying 390F

    Hello all. I have an old Cabela's Premium Bullet Style Electric Smoker. Still working. The bowl that is used for the wood chips has all but rotted through on the bottom and will soon be unuseable. For the time being I have heavily wrapped it with aluminum foil since it sits on the heating...

    Smoke question

    How much charcoal do you usually use? Will I need to occasionally add more charcoal? Also if I go to wood chunks how many should I use and when are they added? Would store bought chunks work well or is natural wood the way to go? Sorry for all the questions. Trying to learn as I go.

    Chuck Roast Question

    So what I ended up doing was I put it back on the smoker the next day for about 3-4 more hours. You are right. The smoker temp is not accurate and I know that. I took IT temperatures with a long stem thermometer I use with brewing beer so I know that is somewhat accurate
