With brewer baseball, Blackhawk hockey, and the battlehawk football on this afternoon I couldn't think of a better way to use up the last of the smoked pork!

Well, my 12 year old 22" round weber charcoal grill about had it.

Just bought a ZGrills 7002E pellet smoker. Put it together last night and successful did a first burn. Plan to smoke this weekend. So stoked.

I went to firer up the smoker last night. Everything was working good so threw my burger on and set the alarm for 1hr. Alarm goes off I go out to turn the temp up. The grill display was flashing and it was ice cold. I open it up and take the cover off. The auger was turning. The hopper was full so I’m like crap I have to empty this out to see what’s going on. At the very bottom just before the auger there was a thin layer of hard crust. I get a fork chop it up and make sure it comes out. I refill the hopper and restart the grill. Finally 2hrs later I have my burger. So mad at my self.

Anyone bake on their pellet grills? I want to try
1. Frozen apple pie from grocery store
2. Frozen pizza from grocery store

Very new to this hobby as I was always a charcoal guy. Will def give it a try and let you know. Need to get intimate with my new grill. Might have to be a bit patient.

I Looooove low and slow. I have a Primo XL and cant think of much better than a pork shoulder after a good 12 hours at 100. I like to cook a bit lower and longer and find this keeps the meat succulent and still same tenderness. I also love a good reverse sear on a tomahawk or a 2 inch scotch fillet.

My wife went vegetarian a year or two back which slowed me down a bit so now only on special occasions....

I did a 16 pound brisket last weekend. Start to finish took about 15 hours with the stall coming in right around 10 hours at 162 degrees. Still eating the thing...

The Yoder YS640s and Brisket of course.

I've seen a Fast Eddy pellet smoker have the fire pot go out in the middle of a competition. 2 hours passed before the guy on watch noticed it. Did me make him pay for it the rest of the night/day. The team took grand champion so I guess he had the last laugh.

I too learned the hard way to regularly clean out the fire pot on my Fast Eddy

When I am grilling for just me, it's the weber smokey joe.

Yes Celsius.

3-2-1 method on spare ribs.

They came out great. Although I am not a fan of spare compared to baby back imo. The Zgrills worked wonderful as I was a bit skeptical with the reviews online. I really wanted a traeger but I am very happy with this grill for price and reliability.
