    Pit Boss Laredo 1000 No Smoke

    Well, as I suspected, the ribs were juicy but lacked any smoke flavor. They tasted like I cooked them in the oven. I’ll explore some different pellet options and possibly use a smoke tube if necessary. Thanks for all the help!

    Pit Boss Laredo 1000 No Smoke

    I had read that too, but I was concerned cause I didn’t get the initial thick white smoke that seems to be common when you start up the unit and the pellets smolder before igniting. But I’m sure as I get accustomed to it I’ll learn the ins and outs. Once my ribs finish I’ll let you all know how...

    Pit Boss Laredo 1000 No Smoke

    I’ll check those out. I knew going in that the applewood would be more mild but that’s what I always used in my previous smoker so I went with it anyway. I’ll experiment with other types.

    Pit Boss Laredo 1000 No Smoke

    I have a separate digital probe in and it’s staying within 10 degrees of the grill temp.

    It illuminates when the auger is moving and goes off when it stops.

    Pit Boss Laredo 1000 No Smoke

    I may be wrong, but I don’t think the Laredo 1000 has P settings. At least I can’t find a way to change the P setting. It just says in the manual to keep the temp lower for more smoke. The adjustable setting I can find is the temp. The pic attached is what the control board looks like the only...

    Pit Boss Laredo 1000 No Smoke

    I’ve been smoking for a while with a propane smoker but I recently got a pellet smoker. I’m using it for the first time but I’m getting hardly any smoke at all. I’m using apple wood pellets which are brand new so I know they’re not wet. I’m smoking at 225 and getting hardly any smoke at all. Any...

    Pounds per sq/in of cooking space

    Hey everyone...just got a new masterbuilt propane smoker and I'm trying to figure out about how much meat I can smoke at a time. I know it would depend on each individual cut of meat, but is there a generic formula to determine about how many pounds you can fit per square inch of cooking space...

    Combo Gas Grill & Smoker

    Hey folks, I currently have a small vertical propane smoker that I have gotten a lot of use out of. I like the gas smoker because it doesn't take a ton of babysitting to keep the temperature steady. I am looking to replace my gas grill and thought about trying to find a combo grill and smoker...

    Wood Chip Alternatives for Small Gas Smoker

    Thanks gentlemen...I am going to give the wood chunks a try and if that doesn't give me the results I'm looking for I will try out one of the tube smokers...they do look interesting.  Thanks again for the advice!

    Wood Chip Alternatives for Small Gas Smoker

    Hey guys, I have a small Master Forge propane smoker with a rather small smoker box for wood chips. I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of food I've been able to make in this relatively cheap smoker and I hope to one day upgrade to something a little larger, but for the time being...

    Reheating Smoked Pork and Chicken

    I didn't want to start a new thread for this, because there is already a lot of info on reheating smoked meat, however, most of what I can find is reheating after freezing.   I am going to be smoking some pork tenderloins and chickens soon, but I can't fit all of it in my smoker at once, so i'm...

    Brisket with Crust

    I have a small gas smoker that I have become fairly proficient in using.  I have had recent success with smoking brisket, and have been able to get it juicy and flavorful.  However, I can't get a good char on it.  I'm looking for advice on how to do that?   I've had a few thoughts on things to...

    Brisket Help

    Thanks everyone, great advice! One other question...anytime I've smoked things I've been able to keep it warm until meal time, but I am doing a bunch of meat for a Christmas lunch in a few days and I'm gonna have to smoke it the day before. Any advice on the best way to heat up smoked meat...

    Brisket Help

    Hey everyone, I have a small gas smoker and I've been successful (at least in my opinion) at smoking ribs and pork butt, and even chicken.  The question I have is about brisket.  And here's my issue...I don't need, nor do I have room for, a large brisket.  We have a store in town that sells...
