The Official Pellet Grill Smoker thread.

So whatcha you guys have planned up this weekend on the pellets??? Any good cooks going on? I just went to the butcher and bought me an 8lb Boston Butt. Not sure if I am going to do it on the pellet or the PBC???

Both are easy to set up and set and forget it! I vote pellet mainly because I only like a drum flavor on chicken but that’s just me.
 
Did these today

8lbs venison jerky

Man that’s a versatile cooker! How was the flavor from the pellets?

50/50 mix lumberjack 100% hickory and 100% cherry. Didn’t use a tube and the smoke was actually a bit much on the jerky. I normally use my Excalibur dehydrator for deer jerky...this was first time on the Memphis.

^nice sear job on that steak!



Thanks. That was only at 450 for about 2 minutes each side...the elite can hit over 900 easily...I normally sear my ribeyes and such for 45 seconds per side or so around 650-700. The Elite is a flame thrower!

Those Taco’s look great! My wife would love them! What kind of cheese is that? Feta?



Thanks! Believe it was Cueso blanco Mexican crumbling cheese.

Absolutely love my pellet grill/smokers. I started off with a less expensive Chargriller. I then moved on to a Smokin Brothers Premier 36 and I now also have a Smokin Brothers Premier 72!!! I like my Smokin Brothers so much I eventually became a dealer!

We cook everything on ours!!!! If we can put in the oven we will try it on the grill!
 
Just a couple things, and a question, or two. I called camp chef , and ask if they had anything like a sliding direct grill insert, as it turns out they do, and they have had one sence about Christmas, but I can't find it anywhere on line, so they were going to send a photo of one, but it has not come yet, they cost about 40.00. The reason I called them was to tell them, I am having problems getting my grill to reach high temps, so they are sending me a new temp probe with directions for installing it, they are also sending me a bag of their pellets to try. The lady said they make two pellet cookers with this sliding direct insert but did not say which ones they are, so I ask does anyone have one that has it, and what model is it? If so can you post a photo of it, and does it do the job for you? Last question what do you think is the hottest burning pellet out there to your knowledge? Keeping in mind I am sure it depends a lot on your cooker. I watched a video of one that green mountain cookers have that looks like a very nice setup.

I use B&B, I get them at Walmart for $9bucks. I hear Lumber Jack are great pellets. I have a Camp Chef Wood Wind and I can up to around 500 degrees. I made burgers the other night and they were sizzling, I had to turn it down to 350 as they were getting to hot.

Is this what you mean http://www.utvunderground.com/camp-chef-introduces-new-slide-and-grill-technology-55212.html
 
picked up an lg800 elite at costco for 700 bucks. my father runs louisiana and his family has made the switch from pitboss and traeger units too.
 
So my wife informed me last night that she hates the food that I have been doing off the charcoal grill and she likes the pellet grill. I made unbelievable burgers on the PBC last night and I was mighty fond of them and thought she was going to love them, but like the last few cooks, she does not like the smokey flavor from the PBC. I myself love it. So this is going to mean that I am most likely going to have to do all the cooking on the Pellet for now on. Anybody else have anybody in their family not digging charcoal BBQ?

Only when lighter fluid was involved.
 
I do not enjoy the flavor when using a snake or minion method, but I love charcoal grilling

You should teach her to cook on the pellet grill.
 
A couple racks today. Doing some competition style today.

I rubbed one down with Plowboys and Kosmos Q Killer Bee with Chipotle and the other I did with Oakridge Dominator and the Kosmos Q Killer Bee. Doing them with a 70% Hickory and 30% Cherry pellet.

Beautiful day, get out there and fire up the grills gents!

Here is a little more feedback on the MAK 2 star. Have done 4 cooks on it now. Tri-tip, Meatloaf, chicken wings and a spatchcock chicken. Very impressed with it. Holds temp great maybe a 5 degree swing at most. Turned out one of the best batches of chicken wings. At higher temps it cooks like a convection oven. Which gives nice crispy skin on the chicken. Picking up a Corned beef this week to try a batch of pastrami. Only thing I have noticed is there is a 10 degree difference between bottom grate and top one. Not a big deal, just have to adjust the temp setting when using it.
