cleanest burning non-stick burner?

mph33 · 04-20-2021, 04:05 AM

i want a non stick burner that burns pure blue smoke. i love my stick burner but sometimes i want to set and forget. my wsm is the ultimate set and forget but... sometimes it can produce a little too much smoke while you sleep. i know nothing can touch the smoothness of a stick burner but whats the second best?

Your WSM- and use less (or a lighter flavored) wood?

Maybe wrap at the beginning so it does not pick up as much smoke- and unwrap mid cook?

I keep hearing that pellet grills give a lighter smoke profile- you might look into one of those?

What brand charcoal are you using in the WSM? What variety and size of wood are you using?

I use B&B, cowboy, and lumberjack lump. I rarely use briquettes but when I do I'll use the B&B. For chunks I just use the standard industry size.... Nothing huge or too small I would say 3x2. I'm not saying that the WSM doesn't have a good clean cook it's just not as good as my stick burner.

Pellet Grill. MAK is a great choice. Rwalters has taught me well.

I'm sure you've considered this but for longer cooks maybe start with the offset until you get the color/condition you want then after you wrap throw in another cooking vessel to finish.

I have a 270 smoker that runs on lump. I put a few chunks in when I first start. If I don't add more as I go along there is almost no smoke flavor at all. It settles in at temp and stays there until the coals get low. I can hook you up with a nice used one cheap.

Pellet grills. Period!

I'm definitely interested. Where you located? I know the Atlanta barbecue store outside of Athens sells these but I have no experience with them

You must be one of those cooks who prepare their sous vide dishes at a hot spring in the woods!

No, but what I do do is build altars and make sacrifices to Odin and Freya
