Oh I know man, it's all good. Love my pellet grill but one day I'll have my stick burner. Just need all 3 kids to Doogie Howser their way off to college early.
I figured a slight derail was in order last night, ****'s were losing their minds.
Exactly, not enough time in the day. I threw those butts on almost 12 hours ago and didn't even look at the grill until 6:30 this morning to spritz them.
Honestly, I can't tell the difference on a pellet grill, and I prefer low and slow. Smoking those butts at 225° and they're still going. I actually just wrapped them and bumped the temp up to 275° to speed it up.
I'm a big hickory fan, I like a mild-strong smoke profile. Any kind of pork I'll use hickory or sometimes apple, brisket is oak all the way.
I'd heard that quality started to suffer a bit as they became more and more popular, which I guess isn't to be completely unexpected but certainly disappointing. I remember there was a huge demand for a wifi controller and app which they resisted for a long time, but I guess they finally gave in and started to develop one, and holy **** did they have issues with that for a while.
I got lucky and bought mine when they were relatively small and still oversaw production (albeit in China). It's built like a brick ****house, hopefully I get another 5 years out of it.
Did you get another one or decide to go another route?
12 hours in, had to wrap them to get through the stall and finish in time for the pot luck.
