We left the propane grill we had in NY when we moved, and I wanted to get a pellet grill for a while. So it was a great time to do it. I've been experimenting with different meats to smoke, and it does a fantastic job. If you have an opportunity to pick one up I highly recommend it. It couldn't be easier to use, and will smoke the meats at around 175-225 degrees, and will maintain what temp you put it at. Or you can crank it up and it will get up to around 500 degrees for a quick meal. I went with a Pit Boss that was on clearance at Lowe's.
First attempt was pork ribs. I used a Traeger recipe, but opted to leave out the BBQ sauce since my boys don't like BBQ sauce. They didn't like it anyway
They are 7 and 3 so I can't hold it against them haha.
Next was some BBQ chicken.
Then I switched to Hickory pellets and this time was a chuck roast. This was my favorite. It turned out just like a brisket. Tons of flavor and so tender.
Then this past Sunday, I wanted to try the pork ribs again with BBQ sauce this time. Way better, but I should have let it cook for another hour or so. Most of it was fall of the bone, but some could have been slightly more tender. Still really good, but I think we'll be doing the chuck roast again. It was a big win for everyone in the house.
Happy Grilling!!
