Title: Pellet grill smokers
Post by: WALLEYE WACKER on 06/05/20 19:42 UTC
Just wanted to see if any one has one and what they thought. Looking at a Pit Boss 820 or maybe a traeger.

Hey Walleye Wacker. We have a GMG Davy Crockett pellet smoker. We have used it for 2 years now. It is awesome. Best boneless ribs I have ever had. Juicy and very tender.  I have checked out the Pit Boss smokers. My former boss bought one back in November and he raved about it. I'm not sure which model he has. He actually brought some brisket to work, that he and his son made, and it turned out superb. I think Pit Boss makes a pretty respectable unit. The price is right as well. Just my opinion, but pellet smokers add a flavor that is second to none.

Thanks Lines!!! My gas grill is in need of being replaced and thought I’d like smoke flavor to my outdoor cooking.

Oh my! You're gonna love it. Different pellet flavors are fun to play with. It is very hard to ruin a piece of meat as long as your paying attention. You can sear steaks on high, or slow smoke some delicious pork ribs (my absolute favorite). We cooked some salmon steaks when my son was on leave, still drooling.....lol, they were excellent. I know of several friends who have Traegers and they highly recommend those as well.
Added: Pit Boss Competition Blend pellets are great.

Can’t wait for some baby backs on one. And would like to smoke some white bass on it too. If you have ever had white bass smoked there like chips you just can’t stop at one.

I have a green mountain grill Daniel Boone.  They are terrific.  I have the one with wifi, and I can control the whole grilling process from my iPhone. And their support team gives great help with the grill also.  Definitely worth looking into!!!

I have probably thirty pounds of assorted pellet flavors Mike. You can have them. Lets set a meeting somewhere half way for the two us and you can smoke the dickens out of a ton of food. I use all natural chunk wood for my smoking and won't ever use these up.

Hey slowguy, our Davy Crockett also has WIFI, but I haven't taken the time to learn how to use it yet. The way I am with technology things, I would probably start the neighborhood on fire,  :D :o

My exact reaction on my first cook. It's unreal how much flavor they have with the pellets.

Hey WW try this. Cook some hamburgers at 300-350 degrees.  Then cook some burgers at 400 degrees.  The same items can achieve different flavors depending on the temperature cooked.  The lower the temperature the more smoky taste.  A variety of pellets will give different tastes also.  So play with the cooking temperatures and the pellets to find your favorite.  Just make sure you keep some notes on what you do. So you can do it again.

slowguy thanks for the tips going to do burgers tomorrow And still can’t believe how much better food tastes. I really like the blend I picked but I can see that depending on what your cooking you would want to change them.

Thanks Mike....this just reminded me that I need to take a package of smoked Salmon from the freezer.

You've got to quit posting these pictures. I'm gaining weight just looking at them.

I've done brats on the Davy Crockett. Be careful Walleye Wacker, 300# could be sooner than you think when you taste the first bratwurst you pull off of the Pit Boss.

Post by: WALLEYE WACKER on 06/09/20 20:11 UTC
Hear ya Lines I have a 100 lbs. before 300 and I’ve seen that grilling this way is addictive. Can’t remember when I grilled three time in a week and tomorrow we’ll make four

Glad the new grill is working well for you. I enjoy the pics and the satisfaction you are having! Cool!
Smoking temperatures are somewhere between 160°-220°,  finished plastic baits won't melt at that temperature. Do you think a walleye might be attracted to a hickory, or competition blend scented Ripper?????????? :o :)

I have another 25 pounds of pork shoulder that will soon become bratwurst. I make about 100 pounds of it each year.

Tom try putting blue cheese in a small batch you won’t be disappointed. We have a butcher shop that makes some and there awesome.
Title: Re: Pellet grill smokers
Post by: ctom on 06/09/20 21:46 UTC
Done that and Ma wasn't crazy about it so.....I'll just stick with the spice blend I use from Waltons. That's a great bratwurst, the Waltons. I cook extra and gnaw on them cold for a quick snack.
