    No tricks on the skin. Nothing beyond what you saw. Just a slow rendering of the fat beneath the skin to produce a tender bite. It is my opinion, that more moisture in the chamber produces the superior bark. I always keep water in my water pan. Unless making jerky.

    I was going to say that you must have won the darned lottery actually buying all of that meat at a retail store. Luckily i raise 100% of the meat I process. glad you were able to snag the "discount" butts. If they were in the cooler at that price, you did nothing wrong at all! I do "large" cooks very often, But usually it is more like 20 racks or 10 briskets at a time, I don't often mix and match different cuts and I never mix and match proteins. Not saying there is a darned thing wrong with it but i simply don't have that type of need in what I do.

    This is awesome my man! I have a couple questions for you about the smoker. I have been looking at this exact model at Lowe’s for awhile. I went yesterday to look at it in person. I noticed the screw that keeps the ash pot tight kept getting hung up and wouldn’t let the ash point go back in flush. Do you have any issues? Also I heard you mention that you had a new control panel. Did the original one go out on you?

  • @TheAmericanSmoke

    The issue with the burn pot is a common one. I have it. Push it all the way in, without much force, then lift up and push in. There may also need to be a wiggle and perhaps a small jiggle. My unit started having temp control issues so I started by replacing the internal thermostat and then eventually the control panel. I made a video for both. Luckily, the 5 year warranty and the awesome customer service with Pit Boss made it very easy and at no cost to me. Thanks for watching and smoke on!!!

Chicken lollipops on the grill though. You have given me so much inspiration and information that I know I can do this. I want to thank you for showing me how to manage this.

    I have the Pit Boss Lockhart. I really don’t like firing it up to just cook one rack of ribs or something like that. If I am going to fire it up, it’s getting filled up. One thing about anything BBQ is that it can be warmed back up a after being frozen and just as delicious. I like to do some chicken and ribs in lower part and briskets and pork butts in the top. I can usually get 2 batches of chicken thighs and legs done and one batch of ribs by the time the stuff in the top is done.

    Great video. I’m am still uncertain on my feelings for these PitBoss pellet units. They seem to be somewhat unreliable. I’ve had 3 cooks messed up because of the unit breaking down. I would like to see a video how you recover a cook like this when the Pit quits working during the cook.

  • @TheAmericanSmoke

    @TheAmericanSmoke

    Жыл бұрын

    Your not going to find a perfect unit. Even traditional offset stick burners are going to burn out sometimes. The best advice is to continue to learn your unit. When it comes to recovering a cook after a malfunction, that depends on the malfunction. Most problems I’ve had have been fixed by a shut down and restart. But, that’s not always the case. I’ve not had one, but auger jams require a removal of the auger to fix. In those instances, moving the protein to the oven is your best bet. Until you get things up and running again. Regular maintenance will prevent most problems. Thanks for watching! Smoke on!!!

    Everything went to that cooler with ice. The purpose is to get everything done at once. Otherwise you’ll need to season each piece separately before it goes into the pit. That’s a lot of messes to clean up. But yes, there is also a benefit to letting the rub sit on the meat for a more flavorful bite. Thanks for watching! Great question

On another note, I just recently bought a vertical smoker, but mine is a charcoal one. I'm hoping to try it out soon.

    Looking at replacing a failing 8yr old GMG pellet smoker with a new vertical smoker. Either a PB like yours or The new Grilla Grills Mammoth. So I’ve been watching a lot of channels with these smokers. Personal preference here but one thing I noticed in this video is you wrapped your pork butt in paper. I like to foil wrap my pork butt or even put them in foil pans and cover with foil when they hit the stall. They will create a ton of juice that is excellent mixed back in with your pulled pork. You will lose a lot of that if wrapped in paper. Like I said personal preference not a written rule. Looked amazing and I’m really liking the PB.
