    Pit Boss smoker burned up

    I am completely non vigilant with mine. The only thing I do is turn it to the mode that keeps the fan going until it is cool, then maybe unplug it. I never empty the hopper (unless doing a special pellet like charcoal that wouldn't go well with most things I would do next), I clean ash out every...

    Pit Boss smoker burned up

    So it was used, cooled down and unplugged, then took off in flames? I was worried mine (a Traeger, so could be completely different) would do this (fire go up auger into hopper) when I had to move it while on up stairs (it started raining), but the opposite happened, the firebox filled with...

    Can’t get my brisket tender-help?

    As someone that has had not much luck with a GREAT AMAZING brisket but plenty of okay good not bad briskets, I don't know what made my last 2 amazing. It was not as cold overnight while smoking so it is possible it was easier to maintain a steady temp in the smoker. I never get a chance to wrap...

    smoked simple syrup

    I think starting with ice has more surface area, I started with 2 cups of ice (which won't make 2 cups of water, what my target was) and added another cup after 45 minutes. Total time of 2 hours. I should have used the smoke setting instead of 180. I didn't think that the sugar would take on...

    Beautiful Day for Brisket

    Looks great! I have to watch doing these on my Treager when it is colder over night because I can run out of pellets. I did one superbowl weekend overnight and it was warm enough (desert southwest USA) that it didn't use even close to what my hopper holds, but when I did one for Christmas a...

    smoked simple syrup

    Haven't posted here in years, still using my Traeger pellet pooper at least once a week, 6-10 times a month, year around. For a number of reasons, my current go to beverage is an old fashioned. Between no more soda (I know, the sugar in the syrup is the same), intermittent fasting (only...

    Pork Belly/burnt ends

    overall, thumbs up from the family, except the person (child) that has issues with texture of food. Can't take the fat, tried to get them the only eat the meat part, but they were too far freaked out. Meat was perfectly tender, has enough substance to it that it had to be chewed, but cut...

    Pork Belly/burnt ends

    While waiting to unwrap and eat, a few of the recent smokes: chickens (practicing for Thanksgiving) Thanksgiving real deal, dry brined turkey, apple juice brined breast and drumstick (bought a couple drumsticks to have one to make gravy with, some don't like giblet gravy) Me learning that...

    Pork Belly/burnt ends

    Been awhile since I posted here, still go at it at least a couple times a week on the smoker (Traeger pellet pooper). Been wanting to try pork belly. Haven't found a whole one, but Costco had them cut into strips about 2 inches wide. I wanted to only do burnt ends, but decided to leave 3 strips...

    3 chucks Q View

    I cannot guarantee that these will make it to lunch... nice and tender, the BBQ sauce rendered down to...don't know, should have flipped them part of the way, and uncovered earlier, but they are amazing, gotta lock them up. This was 3 pounds pre cook weight, and very large cubes, not really...

    3 chucks Q View

    Planning a little get together between 9 people, at a location not where the smoker is. 1 chuck barely fed 5 of us last time (well, to be honest 3 are teens, 2 of which are "starving" college students), so thought I would go for 2...then decided to try some faux burnt ends. 2 4.5 pound roasts...
