Very good information. Thanks for doing this video. I will certainly change the way I’m cooking with my pellet grill

Ignore the comments. I have everything from electric to offset, and they all make good BBQ. In the end it's not the pit, it's me that's doin' the cookin'.

I've done a fair bit of research on pellet smokers, and the LoneStarGrillz one seems to be in a league of its own. I need to rebuild my deck before I consider buying another smoker though.

So glad to see you coming over to the pellet side.

It took several cooks to figure out how best to smoke a brisket on my pellet grill and adding a smoke tube but I got it tuned in pretty good.

Better bark and smoke flavor on pellet grill tip: I use a Dutch oven style loaf pan (cast iron) in the smoker with a couple charcoal briquets and chunks.

Great questions!

Thanks! I always look forward to your feed. I’m new at the pellet grill game and trust you and your guests. I have watched so many stick burners videos and it translates to a certain degree. Thanks again from Hawaii

Man.... I feel like people here are just not good at following instructions... Watched about 5 hours of youtube content on smoking a brisket. Bought a $350 Z grill 7002F Pellet Grill. Bought $13 bag of Costco wood pellets. Bought a $68 17.25 lb choice brisket from Costco. Made my own rub. Trimmed brisket like the videos, but left a bit more fat and meat on. Covered it in olive oil and then put on the rub. Stuck the 2 internal probes into the point and flat of the brisket. Smoked it at 180 for 2 hours, 225 for 12 hours, wrapped it in butcher paper the next morning at around 165-173 internal , and finished to 203 at 275 degrees. Turned out better than a lot of bbq places here in Seattle and almost as good as the Texas BBQ place. (they're not as good as the places in Texas, but close and still good)

My GMG is a champ. Best smoker for the money IMO. Got it on sale and it had a rotisserie and I got a pizza oven for it.

I appreciate having the information for those of use with pellet smokers. Thought I would love to get good at a stick burner it's just not practical at this point in my life so pellets is it. Looking at pulling the trigger on a Yoder since they're made just up the road from me. I love that you can direct grill with it to sear steaks, etc. That's a huge plus.

That is hilarious what he said about the GMG Jim Bowie I have the same grill and it failed with my first catering gig while I was sleep ruined 6 pork butts lesson learned for sure. Thanks for the content.

Those are good tips. If I could add one thing to the pellets and cost. Once what I'm cooking has hit the max smoke like he was referring to. Instead of using cheaper pellets I know finish my meats in the oven. And when it is finishing I use that time to clean out my smoker. Win Win

Ive been a big fan of the heavy d smoke diffuser by smoke daddy to add smoke flavor. Use about a 3x3x6 piece of wood on each side so you get some real hardwood flavor.

Thanks for the tips, just purchased a pellet grill

Jeremy awesome content as always, watched your video on the best method for doing brisket on a pellet grill a few months ago and was gonna go back and check it out again for a refresher but can't find it. Was it taken down?

My age finally caught up with me so i went from my wood burner to a OJ's Rider DLX 1200 a couple weeks ago. I started BBQing when internet was dial-up. As mentioned in the video, I see a lot of internet pellet BBQ advice trying gimmicks to overcome perceived pellet grill shortcomings. As noted in the video this is indeed a bit of a misdirection. I include wrapping and the forever lingering 321 on ribs as a gimmick as well. Master your pit first whether wood burner or pellet is my best advice.

For brisket, i like to smoke with crushed walnut shell, it is amazing !

for more smoke, smoke daddy inc makes a heat deflector that you can burn wood chunks or splits in. also with how thick it is it really helps even out temps across the grates.

What's ya'lls opinion on Bear Mountain pellets?

When will part 2 become available??

The elevation with a barrier tip is money. Instead of using a water pan under mine, i throw in the fat trimmings in a pan. I have a shelf with the brisket above that. The fat makes a liquid tallow I store in jars afterward and it prevents that burning on the bottom

Two things I have done to make flavor as close to my old offset, put the meat on the smoker before turning it on to get that blast of startup smoke, and a blend of pellets and wood chips in a pellet tube for the first few hours.

@MadScientistBBQ I agree that a stick burning offset will always beat a pellet grill, but I wonder why you never have mentioned or tested Recteq, which is the brand that i use at home. Specifically I use the Recteq 700 and have their smoke box attached to it. I smoke briskets in the smoke box on the super smoke setting and rotate it as I see necessary to get smoke into the meat. Then I turn up the temp and move the brisket into the main chamber to start rendering fat before wrapping. The whole time I'll have wagyu beef tallow smoking in a foil tub like I've watched you do in you're videos that i put on before wrapping 😉 My friends and family love it, but I'd love to get your opinion on it.

Love the information, I would have liked some short videos during this explanation that shows examples of what you're talking about, just a thought.

When are we getting the follow on for pellet grill recommendations? Or did I miss it?

I wrote this as a reply to a question but wanted to share with everyone. I have had an Austin XL for over 4 years and after going through several brands( they all worked) the ones that consistently give the best flavor are Lumberjack. They are 100% of the tree, bark and all as mentioned in the video and unless they are a blend they are 100% of the flavored tree. So 100% Apple is just that! Same with all of their other 100% flavors. Hickory, Oak, Pecan, Cherry, Mesquite, etc. Don't be fooled by other brands that will put 100% "Hardwood" on the bag and then put Apple as the flavor. If you see that, which is about 85 % of the brands out there, you are getting a pellet that is about 70% filler(usually alder) and 30% of the flavored wood or wood infused with flavored oils. Traeger sells their 20lb bag of "Apple" or "Cherry" or even "Hickory"pellets for $20 a bag and although they say Naturally Flavored do not contain any part of that tree for the flavor. Why pay for "Flavored" wood when you can buy the real thing for (Lumberjack) for $8.99 a bag.?

Would be interested in your thoughts on the Goldees offset smoker design.

Will you ever do an in-depth review and/or cook-off using a Lone Star Grillz pellet smoker?

Cookshack is the only pellet cooker with a offset airflow. Gives better flavor by not re burning old debris that people won’t scrape every time they fire up the grill. Be careful to not get a pan to close to your cook because it will upset the smoke rolling around the meats. That will lessen the flavor your trying to produce.

Good 👍 Info thanks 😊 GodBless

What about pellet grill heat blankets? I’ve noticed better heat retention but does it affect the over all result negatively not burning more pellets to achieve that smoke?

Best advice for a pellet smoker user is to dial temperature down by about 50 degrees when you open it, otherwise it will think its a temp drop and start scorching pellets like crazy and might choke. Once you close put the dial back where it was.

I've got a stick burner and pellet grill. I've had tremendous success with Kingsford grillmasters blend. Better than trager or pit boss pellets and my pellet grill is a pit boss. I would recommend Kingsford over anything on the middle tier. Top tier obviously those pellets speak for themselves if you have used them. Try out some Kingsford pellets and let me know what you think.

I see that lone Star Grillz is recommending to mix 50/50 pellets and chips for a better smoke flavor. Have you tried this?

In my opinion and that's all I have. I've tried many different pellets and Tragger sucks. I noticed if I left them in my bin very long they turned to sawdust that disappointed me. I switched to lumberjack and I'm very happy with those I can leave unused pellets in there for an indefinite period of time and they stay very Compact and solid.

How about generic Costco brand pellets? Any good? PS what smoke level should you set for a brisket on a Woodwind Pro?

My pit boss Austin xl has done me a great job

Try giving B&B competition blend or smokehouse post oak pellets a try. I really like them better then lumberjack and bear mountain.

Hey everyone, new to pellet smokers -- first cook I'm seeing the bark start to split on my ribs, that's new to me. Little cracks where the meat pokes through. Tips?

Did a follow up vid ever drop to this? Great Content - but I am a believer in starting low. I have a Traeger and my best brisket flat cook was injected and rubbed with Salt & Pepper & Lawry's. Cooked over night starting at 180°F. At 9:00 AM it had an IT of ~170°F and was feeling and looking ready so I wrapped it in the foil boat with another splash of my injection and bumped the Traeger to 250°F. It was done (IT of 205°F) ~ 11:00 AM. So I just put it in a cold oven to hold it until dinner. PERFECT. Next I need to try wrapping in butcher paper. I Agree: Change one thing at a time !!! PS: I have tried smoke tubes, but not to much success.

A smoke tube will help, just not too close to the meat because it is just dirty smoke so at least 3" away. Other than that, I've tried and tried on my pellet grill, smoked out half the city with it a few times experimenting but I couldn't really get what I was looking for but I had fun experimenting

How do I find service on my pellet grill in Texas? Follow-up with the manufacturer? Are you familiar with any service personnel in Texas?

Where can I find pt 2 ?

Over here in Australia the Pellets are insanely EXPENSIVE!(9kg/$35) I mean I did a Brisket for 10hrs on my Traeger the other day & used about 7kg! Admittedly it is Winter here & I did bump it up after I wrapped it to get it done but geez! 🙄

After much thought and research I’d go gravity feed and avoid pellets. I think less to no problems and you get darn near the same taste as offset, more reliable set it and forget it than a pellet with absolutely no jamming or auger problems .

Longer pellets can cause auger jams in certain brands, actually.

I recently got my 1st pellet smoker, a Camp Chef Dlx 24. It works great and produces a better product than my old Charbroil 725 electric chip burner. My issue seems to be it doesn't seem to be very efficient. In my old Charbroil it would take forever because even though I set it at the max 275, it was actually only cooking at around 245-255. The pellet smoker is much better in that aspect but still takes a long time to get the meat to where it needs to be. I did a 9lb pork butt last weekend and i did the low and slow overnight method. Started at 190 and then turned it up to 225 when i woke up. I eventually had to set it yo 250 to get it to finish and it took about 15 hours to get it to temp and for it to probe tender. I dont open it up to check the meat a lot so not sure if the heat is escaping or if its just too low of a initial temp setting. Going to try it higher next time and see what happens.

Sometimes I've done a hot and fast at 275 and left it unwrapped for the whole cook and did it in 6 hours. My opinion, never go below 200/225, they just seem to work best in that range for low, and around 275 for the highest.

Would the Traeger Timberline 1300 be a worthwhile consideration for $1,700 or is this at a point where an American made product be considered?

What causes smoke to come out from the hopper and how to avoid it?

The best way I've found so far to get good smoke flavor is to start off my cooks on my big green egg with hickory and then after the first 3 hours switch to my pellet smoker to get the amazing bark. The timberline creates awesome offset smoker bark that my big green egg struggled with.

Why is it that there is no rumor sites about upcoming new models for smokers like there is for just about every other product? I’m interested in the WWPro but wondering whether anyone else is going to introduce a “Smoke Box” type feature. Anyone know of such a resource?

Help! Had the weirdest thing happen on the Woodwind Pro, about 3 hours in I started getting off smells, like gasoline. Can't figure it out, wood in firebox smells good, I thought some burning foil I put in maybe but it kept going.

Regardless, of the grill/smoker type: you should get to know the grill before you try to invite a ton of people over and cook for them on that grill. Who gets a brand new grill and invites people over that they’re going to cook for on that grill right away?

I bought my GMG Bowie from BBQHQ about two years ago. It would not work. I called BBQHQ for help. Still waiting for their response! When it comes to GMG after calling a few times , what they did they sent some parts and were telling me how to replace. I am not specialist on those smokers nor I am an electrician. I had to get help from a friend. And then I found out nearest repair shop is is in San Diego two hours drive at list. I found out Traeger has a lot better service and many recipes online by famous Pitmasters. Yes that is my own experience with GMG and unfortunately BBQHQ which I purchased a lot more stuff including grills.

@MadScientistBBQ, I would like your opinion, and science take on this… (BBQ purists will DIE reading this) I live at high elevation and BBQ meats will dry out quick, even with a water bath in the smoker. So I have experimented (successfully) with using smoked talo from my last cook and sous vide. I will start with a 134F sous vide for 36-48hrs and finish the cook for bark and flavor on the Pellet Grill. I have found (and this could be coincidence) that if I take my meats out of the sous vide and go straight to the fridge overnight, then put the meat on the grill for the smoke COLD, I get a better bark and better/deeper smoke. This method is holding the moisture in my briskets and beef ribs better than “Goldie Methods.”. Is there decent science to explain this?

Best tip in this video is raising a brisket or putting a water pan underneath. The few briskets I have made (4th being the best) all got that “shreddy” bottom, especially in the lean. Even starting at 190 for the first few hours. A lightbulb went off in my head when he started talking about that lol

Yes. This was a revelation for me as well. That long strand stringiness in my last few briskets has put me off trying one again. I was putting it on real low and letting it roll all night thinking that was the way. Which, coincidentally, is a method that Matt Pittman has a couple of videos on. Interesting.

Jeremy, can you please ask Eric what he thinks of Rec Teq?

It isn't complicated. The simple answer: Get a Camp Chef Woodwind Pro. Great quality, super easy to clean with the dedicated ash drawer, super easy to get good smoke (where most pellet grills fail) with the Smoke wood drawer. Reliable too. What more could you want from a pellet grill?

Getting ready to purchase a Woodwind Pro here very soon and I'm happy to hear all of you who own them are reporting what I want to hear. Thank you!

I’ll add another voice here, I’ve been nothing but satisfied with mine. It takes a little getting used to coming from a Weber Smokey Mountain charcoal setup, but once you get your speeds and feeds dialed in, cooking great food on the Camp Chef is super easy.

Cannot go wrong with campchef woodwind pro. It get's hotter than a regular pellet grill because of the smoke box so cook on the top shelf and run your temps lower than usual. Also i can now buy regular pellets from costco to save money and use wood chunks to give that smokey flavor.

I've been complimenting Camp Chef for years, and yet when it comes to these kind of video's, it's always the same names. It's like we are some hidden cult group that know about this great product (pellets too) that nobody wants to talk about :)

Yoder ys 640 one of the best investments i have ever made...would recomend to anyone

❤I bet I’ve cooked over 500 lbs of pellets and you would be hard pressed to they’ll the difference in pellet flavors.

My question is why is RecTeq never mentioned of used in your pellet grill videos. Is there something about RecTeq y'all don't like, or is it he doesn't sell them so he doesn't talk about them?

Bc they don’t sell them, recteq sells directly. Saves money.

He's definitely only talking about product he sells. This is an infomercial at heart. I love my recteq and I would put it up against any of these other pellet grills mentioned. The cook, quality of food and their service are excellent.
