I'm fairly new to this getting my GMG Davy Crockett pellet grill about a month ago. I found this comparison of butcher paper vs parchment paper vs aluminum foil.

So Pit Boss has some newer pellet grill product lines out over the last year or so. The Pro Series and another Laredo series I've heard good things about, especially for the price.

Anyone purchase one of these?

I'm actually smoking on a Pit Boss Pro Series for the first time as I type this. I finally decided to buy one and give it a shot. I have a Pit Boss grill and really like it so hopefully I'll like this just as much.

I'm going to put it to the test. I'm smoking brisket, chicken, ribs, andouille sausage, and pork belly (for my wife and daughter who are Filipino). I've sucked at brisket but I've watched countless videos and I think I know what I've been doing wrong. Fingers crossed.

My FIL has a large pit boss cabinet pellet smoker and the food that comes off it is great.

I’m going to try smoking some ribs on the kettle grill today.

I had good luck with a Mac and cheese recipe on the Masterbuilt app. It’d be worth a look to see if it’s on their website.

Just fired up the Daniel Boone and put on a couple racks of baby backs. Set the temp for 180 for the first couple of hours. Will spritz with ACV and then later will sauce to finish.

Do you pull the membrane off ribs or leave it on? I will usually pull it off.

Brisket looks good. So what were your mistakes that you fixed ?

Got a Traeger 575 on Tuesday and ran in constantly from Thursday AM to last night on various things.

Bacon, baked potatoes (twice), brisket, New York Strip, and 2x 3lb chuck roast burnt ends.

Bacon was the quickest at an hour, taters I did for 5 hrs both times and they were the best I’ve ever had, brisket was a small 3lber but went for 18 hrs and it was amazing, and chuck roast/burnt ends went for about 8.5 hrs.

Burned through 60lbs of pellets.
