A little something form me...

Normally I would trim these down if I was serving them to the "public", but for me...I ain't picky!

Test drove the new to me Pit Barrel Cooker with a couple racks of baby backs

I'm calling it a win

Well I've been out of town a lit since Christmas so as of yesterday there was two cockroaches in my smoker. A little 900 degree fire later and I assume they are gone. :-)

Hope to fire her up this weekend for the first smoke of 2015.

Some good looking cooks, men! I'm seriously considering getting a PBC now to replace my WSM. I've get to get an extension put in off of my back patio first, though, so I have somewhere to put the grill and smoker at the new house.

Some wonderful pulled pork on the Traeger. I just got this smoker/grill and love it!

Anyone ever use pellets mixed in with charcoal in their WSM?
[Reply]

Matt that looks :-)
[Reply]

I never have; I just like the wood chunks that smolder and last longer. I don't use wood chips either. Have you and/or what benefits do you think there are?
[Reply]

Same here, chunks only. They work so well I've never even considered going trying pellets.
[Reply]

Tried it once with a handful of Trager pellets to see how they did, they performed about how I expected, which is to say that they weren't really any different than dry wood chips. Be ok to use with a charcoal or gas grill for smoke bombing the food, but not really that useful in a charcoal smoker, at least for me.

Tossed a Boston butt on about an hour ago. Last minute thing. Rubbed with garlic olive oil and Tony's seasoning.

Looking for a pellet grill? Today only on Woot, unless it sells out before midnight.

Thanks for the heads up, Bob. The price is very tempting.

Do you have any experience with the Camp Chef pellet grills?
[Reply]

I will in a few weeks. I pulled the trigger. It's a small grill size, but I dont usually do large cooks anyway. Plus I'll still always have my Bradley, but I've wanted a pellet grill for a while.
[Reply]

Cool, we can compare notes. I just bought one too. :-)

Kind of the same reasons, I've been eyeing to add a pellet grill to the fleet for some time now. I wanted larger, but but don't really need "larger" all that often and I couldn't find anyone local who wanted to split an order of two 969s from Pellet Pro (normally $1k ea, or two for $1500 w/ free freight).

And at this price, a larger one would be double the cost for only about a 50% gain in lower grate area. Looks like this will hold two 16-ish lb turkeys or two 8-10 lb pork butts, which is more than sufficient for most of what I do.
