Malsua....I learn something new every day. "Open mind and close mouth and learn." I love smoking meats, but I have never used a pellet smoker...You got that puppy really wired up on UTube.
I have a propane smoker and use it often. Being from Eastern North Carolina, we'uns just love our smoked pork. I usually brine my pork over night and then smoke it at 215 to 230 degrees until the internal temp of the pork is about 190. I smoke it for about 5 hours for a 5lb butt. After the first 3 hours, I spray it every hour with apple juice. Good enuf to slap yo momma. I'll have to try your style some time. |

We're going to be full time in TV in 2 weeks, so maybe I'll look at wood again, but for now, I hate dealing with fires and tending a fire for 14 hours to smoke a brisket doesn't sound like fun. As to wires, while a lot of folks cook by feel and look, I like to add sensors . I lack the confidence of established BBQ cooks and I've been in technical fields my entire life, so it's a fit for me. I know sensors well. I started off in the medical field and measuring now is just different meat . As to spraying, apple cider vinegar 50/50 with water is my go to, but it really makes a difference. When it comes to the pellet smoker, I use the extra smoke tube on beef and use the natural smoke generated by the pellets on chickens and turkey. A brined turkey breast on the pellet smoker is now our Thanksgiving bird of choice. It comes out amazing! This last Thanksgiving our igniter died on the oven 10 minutes after starting the bird. I suggested putting it in the smoker, the wife reluctantly agreed. We've since done one more we loved it so much. Pork butts also get the tube, but I leave it off for ribs. Hauling the smoker down April 7, so I can get on with it at the TV house. These Zgrills aren't very expensive but this one has been great. I know there are much better ones, but this got me into the game and my meats have been awesome. |

We use gaffs in Deland. A bit of a drive but they have great meats and a real butcher.

Meat choice
We like Fresh Market. They have actual butchers, great choices of product and can wrap it for storage in the freezer. Second choice is Sams and Publix.
