Some salmon from last night
180F on the smoker for about 90 minutes until salmon hit 125F. Internal temp. This was my first time ever smoking anything ever. Attached File |

I did my first brisket overnight.
Turned out pretty damn good. It developed a good bark, I think maybe it got just a tad dried out just under the bark. 8lb brisket. Course salt and ground pepper rub. Smoked at 225-250 for 14 hours. Pulled off at 204 degrees, wrapped and rested for 3 hours. I went light on the smoke for wife, used 3 small chunks of hickory at the start. Attached File Attached File |

Only used the mesquite once so far; I was told its a very strong wood. The apple burned quickly and I really didn't notice much of a flavor difference. I mostly use split oak wood. I have a wood shed out back, and dad and I are always hustling a little firewood for our smokers, fireplaces, etc. We're pretty full up from all the wood we cut after Hurricane Laura. I've tried some silver maple in the past, but I didn't care for the flavor. Hickory and Pecan I really like, but they're a little harder to come by. I have some pecan in the shed we cut this winter, should be seasoned in another 6 months or so. |

I’m not sure how those smoked when the smoker was sideways like that.

It’s fast, reliable, fairly easy to maintain, and replacement parts available everywhere. Great grill and it produces excellent grilled meat/vegetables, also makes a handy outdoor oven. I use it to finish pork shoulders after the wrap because propane is far less expensive than charcoal. It will have a place of prominence in the future outdoor kitchen! |

Is the rack the butt is resting on an improvised addition? Looks like a good idea. |

We tried twice. It was awful. Too smokey. Too greasy. We used the same ducks that they use at the same store where we buy the duck. To be honest, sometimes their duck is better than other times. |

It’s resting. I swear that pellet grills reduce cook time and don’t put a good bark on it.

Originally Posted By M4-AK: We had a PK as a child. How do you like yours and would you buy another one? View Quote @M4-AK Sorry for the delayed replay, just read your post. Love my PK and would absolutely buy one again. I picked up a PK-GO for a road trip I’m doing with the kids this summer, should pay for itself in less than a week and we get to avoid Applebees. I’ve got lots of room for my future outdoor kitchen and plan on adding a Big Green Egg XL and a Yoder offset smoker eventually. Currently I have 2 Weber Smokey Mountains (22.5” and 14.5”, and a Weber Genesis in addition to the PK360. If I was to have only one grill, it would be the PK for portability and fuel efficiency reasons. I’ve seen some guys smoke packer briskets and racks of ribs on theirs, but in my opinion the real estate on the PK is a bit confined for long pieces of meat so I use the WSM 22 for the big stuff. Pork shoulders and whole turkeys are no problem. I’m still learning with mine, only had it for 18 months or so, but it is a joy to cook with in any weather including wind conditions. Great grills! |

The weather has totally sucked this past week, and I am going out of town this weekend ... so no smoking for me this week.
Fingers crossed that this is the last weekend in a long time that I will miss out on smoking. I feel like I am FINALLY smoking some decent chicken wings, so that has me already looking forward to college football season in the Fall. Sitting outside all day, watching games while the smoker is going ... and eating chicken wings while waiting for the ribs to finish! |

Some absolutely delicious looking smoked meats up in here.
Here are a few of mine. Done on a masterbuilt propane vertical. 3 pork butts injected with Waygu beef tallow. Turned into the absolute best pulled pork I had ever tasted. Made them for customer appreciation day at work. People were tearing into them. Attached File Brisket flat. My flats always end up a little dry. But after the beef tallow experiment I am going to try it in my next flat. Attached File Home made kielbasa Attached File Beef snack sticks Attached File Breakfast roll. Attached File I love outdoor cooking. |
