The Official Pellet Grill Smoker thread.

Congrats on the new cooker Rib Rub, when do we get treated with some pron?

Lumberjack, lumberjack, lumberjack. 100% hickory.
The only pellets you need to get.

AWESOME

I’ve used hundred of lbs of bbq delight, maybe 160lbs of cookinpellets, and over 1000lbs of lumberjack. Lumberjack hickory puts out s good bit more smoke flavor than anything else I have tried. Also like their 100% cherry and their MHC. They DO produce more ash than others for sure

Have used a few bags of pit boss and traegar...hardly any smoke flavor to me

Just purchased my first 3 bags of Lumber Jack, MHC, 100% Hickory and 100% Cherry, I guess I did well. Plan on also doing a little mixing of the Hickory and Cherry.

Will be here tomorrow and plan on putting it together but I have Sirloin Kababs on the WGA planned for tomorrow and the MRS will most likely want to dine out on Friday. So it will be Saturday, thinking Duroc St. Louis Spares, the Hunsaker is going to be pissed.

We just purchased our ys640 today, so pellets have been discussed quite a bit. My wife likes that Lumberjack uses virgin wood for pellets. She then started looking for online suppliers with free shipping in Canada.

Congratulations, you are going to love it! You might check here: https://bbqpelletsonline.com/index.php They have a couple of terminal pickup locations in Canada, so they probably deliver there too.

Hey, one of those terminals is only an hour away in London. Not much great BBQ there right now but a big Latin american community with restaurants to match.

Anyone here bought a universal cover for a MAK 2 Star (not the MAK brand cover). If so, what did you buy and are you happy with it?

ETA: Nevermind, found what I was looking for thru search

Classic Accessories on Amazon, they're good covers for a reasonable price.

IMHO you should read the manual on programming the controller. When I smoke butts, I program it to stay in “smoke” mode for 4-5 hours (that’s low temp, ~180, to maximize smoke from the pellets), then move to 225 or 250 until the IT meat temp hits the temp I want (for me, that’s 203), then drop to 200 and continue until I turn it off.

I then put the meat on cold from the frig and wet from the binder I used for the rub, both of which help the meat pick up more smoke. Put her on at 11 pm or so, make sure the hopper is filled with pellets (and I particularly pile them higher in the center, to counteract the tunneling effect). Then it will cook and shift temp’s all night while you sleep.

Also, I never wrap my briskets, so that helps with smokiness and bark formation in the pellet smoker. But if you prefer to wrap, go for it, you’ll just have to get up and go out there at some point.

That’s pretty cool you can do that. So you like the MAK?

I think I can do this with the Savannah Stoker in my Traeger, but I just haven't yet. I have trust issues.

Thanks! I was showing my wife and daughter the grill last night and I could tell they were happy for me, but they could have cared less about the thing LOL. I hope to get some PRON up soon. I just got home and I have to finish putting it together however my wife wants to go out on the boat, so I may have to wait another day to finish up the assembly. I have a Brisket in the fridge and want to get it on Sunday! However I have something to do Sunday now.
