    Holy smoked cow. It's like a parade.

    Hello! Or as we say down here in Florida, "Alligator hurricane tourist hockey"

    Greetings from another newbie. I'm up here in Calgary, Alberta. Great post, nice pics. I couldn't stop laughing at the "Alligator hurricane tourist hockey" title. Brilliant. One side of my family is all from East Douglas, MA., which I got to see 50 years ago but still have fond memories...

    Probably old hat to many of you, but I found this small operation video of making pellets fascinating:

    Thoughts on Pitboss Pro Series 850?

    I'm chime in now that I own a Pit Boss 850, although I suspect your neighbour likely bought his smoker of choice already. I love the PitBoss. Build quality is good, features are all pretty nice and the price point is good. I like the porcelain coated grills because they clean up like a dream...

    Books with more than recipes?

    I know this post is old, but just had to chime in here. The "Bible" of food and cooking (not recipes) is On Food And Cooking: The Science And Lore Of The Kitchen by Harold McGee. It's huge—almost 900 pages, and not particularly pretty from a visual perspective (like most cookbooks today are)...

    Pit Boss Pro Series 850 - Ignitor Sometimes On After Start Up Cycle

    Question about ignitors—I recently purchased a PB850 Pro Series. I love it. After an initial SNAFU with the PID controller which wouldn't connect to WiFi or Bluetooth, I received a new one in the mail and was up and running. I'm really happy with build quality, despite the PID issue. That being...

    Hello from Calgary

    Thanks. Just out of curiosity—and because you are from Winnipeg—do you use yours in the winter? I’ve BBQ’d on my gas grill here as we get those lovely Chinooks in Calgary, but was wondering about smoking below 0 C. After tasting a whole chicken on the smoker, my mouth is already wondering about...

    Hello from Calgary

    Hello everyone—I'm new to the forum. I'm retired up here in Calgary and I had to recently abandon my lifelong metalworking hobby and sell all my tools. In fact, I used to make smokers as one of my many projects. But I always gave them away to friends—I so never realized how addictive the...
