Up before 4am to get the brisket going on my new pellet smoker....

Go home Remmy, you're drunk. :p

I have a 4 lb pork butt for Monday. Never smoked anything by myself so I'm weirdly nervous. This thread gave me a craving.


I'm laughing my ass off reading this. Holy wrong thread last night. Sorry about that.
 
I dont have one but use a buddies all the time and it is amazing. I will be buying one asap when the budget allows.


How does the taste compare? I was looking at the hopper assembly and ring for the 18" WSM from Smoke Daddy. Looks like a pretty good unit.

I havent seen that unit but taste is very similar. Wood obviously has a little heavy smoke flavor but there is still a noticeable smoke flavor with pellet smokers.
 
Let me know what you think of the pellet smoker. I'm very curious about them.

So far so good. Still have a few more hours to go (in the stall), but you gotta love the "set a temperature and walk away" feature. No adding coals, no worries about the wind/ambient temp. I'm now officially spoiled....

What rate do you burn pellets? I have read around 1lb/hr at 225 is about normal

here is the pellet consumption specs for my Memphis Select. I get pellets for as low as $12/33lb.

Thanks. That usage is not bad at all. ~3-4 cooks with medium sized cuts of meat of 8-9 hrs. Hmmmmm...... About. To. Hit. Order.

I smoke at 225.

St Louis I usually do the 3-2-1, as my family prefers "fall off the bone" tender. For baby back I do 2-2-1...

Doing 3 slabs of baby backs myself tomorrow.
 
Oh yum! I've always wanted to pit BBQ one of those. I was never able to get the guy that used to own the buffalo farm in Medina to let go of the ribs & hump. The hump would've been great that way,trust me!
 
4 hours in. 4.3 #
Not terrible I think for a first time solo smoking.

It'll be done earlier than expected I think. I'm finishing up mashing in on my imperial stout as well.
 
And the slow roasted rosemary garlic potatoes and my pork. I made cole slaw as well. So full.

We had a few friends and family over for a meal and a visit. Got the old Weber fired up...

Smoked some Italian sausages, Bush's beans, roasted the tomatoes for some fresh salsa, and threw on a few burgers (not shown). A nice salad and some musk melons rounded out the meal. Good eats, and good company.
 
Got my saison in the fermenter right before 6pm yesterday. Fired up the pit for chicken legs,thighs & Italian sausage. A whisky BBQ sauce for the chicken was spicy/fruity as well. Was pretty late some 3 hours later to get a pic though...
