• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software.

Injected with apple juice, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, onion and garlic powder.
Smoked at 225-250* for 8 hrs.

Dam was it good.
 
The smoker and trailer is made by bubba grills out of Georgia. 250gal with a 4 rack rib box for additional meats or beans, mashed potatoes ECT. ....

Hmm, I wonder if they export them?? :dontknow: I might hafta check into that?! :rolleyes:
 
Mowin,

I have a dumb question. First, I have something to admit: My wife and I have a 50:50 relationship - she cooks, I eat, we don't get in each other's way.

Now, having said that, I have been thinking about a 'true smoker' lately, whatever that is.

Question: The hardwood chips that are sold at many home improvement stores, retail BBQ smoker dealers, etc., are they any good if one wants a hickory flavor, or a mesquite flavor? Please educate me.

Regards,
Joe T.

Joe, it depends on the smoker. I couldn't use chips in this smoker, but can in my masterbuilt propane smoker, although I modified it to use a different smoke generator that uses pellets.

You can "try" taking a cup of chips and wrapping them in foil and poke a few holes in the top. Place the pouch in your gas grill. If it gets hot enough to smoulder, the foil should keep the chips from just catching fire.

A "true smoker"? Well, that's like asking what's the best tire for your spyder. Lol. To me it's one using wood splits, and needs to be tended to regularly. However, I do have a pellet grill I use frequently, and enjoy the "set it and forget it" ease it provides.

Thank you.

These pellets, are they hickory or mesquite? If so, ALL hickory or mesquite, or just a portion?

What brand/model is your pellet grill?

Thanks again for your patience.

Joe, glad to help..

I've found there are two different types of pellets (do not use heating pellets, you don't know if they use scraps which could have glues or other contaminants).

The first type are "contains 100% hardwood pellets". They contain as much as 75% base wood like alder or oak, and 25% of the "flavor" wood.

Then there are 100% hickory or other flavor woods like apple, cherry, ECT. These 100% one species pellets are the best. They produce less ash, and more heat, and more smoke flavor.

One of the biggest complaints about pellet grills, is lack of smoke flavor compared to other smokers. Most people, me included, use a amazin tube smoke generator in our pellet grills to add to the smoke profile. The tube, and using 100% flavor pellets, makes for some great bbq.

I've got a Green Mountain Grill Daniel Boone pellet grill. I hesitate calling It a grill, as I believe gas or charcoal does a better job grilling. At least better then my GMG. There are other pellet munchers out there. Yoder, Louisiana, Mac make fantastic pits that claim to sear as well as smoke.

I only smoke on my pellet grill. I'll sear on a hot gasser or fry pan after smoking.

Feel free to ask any other questions. :thumbup:

WalMart sells a nifty little (about 4 x 6) cast iron box with holes in it you can put your wood chips in and use to smoke small quantities of meat. I have had mine for 10 years and it works great in my Weber Kettle grill or on my gas grill. Of course the gas grill doesn't seal well enough to keep the smoke in very well but it's ok. The Weber is great.
