Awwww hell.. And to think I use to like you..

I have to admit, Iām pretty spoiled with my pellet smoker, but will also recognize that just about anything else gives a better smoke infusion/taste, regardless of pellet choice.
What time is lunch tomorrow?

LMAO. Pellets are the spinning rods of the BBQ world. Come to the dark side my friend!
In all seriousness, you can great results with pellets. I actually recommend it to people if I feel they want the easy way. You have to love playing with and tending a fire to run an offset. I wake up early AF and Iām adding splits every 45-60 min. For me itās the reward at the end and thereās something primal about it, kinda like fly fishing. Harder, more work, but in the end itās all about the journey.
If Iām feeling lazy, my drum or my primo gets the call. Iāve done overnight briskets with my primo no problem. For long cooks on busy days (kids sports, honey-do list, eta) the drum gets the assignment. Iāve made all cuts on all cookers but if Iām throwing down a feast and I have time the offset is up. Plus it has the most capacity so I can do multiple cuts, sides, apps, etc.

Iāve been on the split n stack, up early and build a fire offset cooker. I had an Old Country Pecos. I built an ugly drum, used it some. But got lazy and bought a spinning rod pellet smoker. I can get a pretty good smoke flavor and good smoke ring with mine. A good sized butt will still take the better part of 8-10 hours though. I like the ease of āset it and forget itā smoking.
True storyā¦I received a notice from my home owners insurance that they were going up on my premiums about $25 month. I asked why, and was told because I heated with wood. Iāve never had wood heat. My house has no chimney, I couldnāt figure why they thought I heated with wood. Then I figured it outā¦they did an inspection of my house and saw wood for my smoker stacked up outside next to my storage building. The inspector wrote it up as evidence of wood heat. Unbelievable!

Got the pellet pooper rolling smoke. Yardbird legs and boneless country style ribs in smoke for about an hour, then Iāll bump the temp to about 250. Legs will go to internal temp of 165-170, pork to about 200* Iām using store bought rubs. Chicken got Kinders Buttery Steakhouse and pork got this
This stuff rocks!
And this is my standby.
I love it on butts and ribs.

Iāve got the Hot Honey sauce, I believe. I usually make my own rub for butts, but the Kinders Cherry Chipotle is pretty dang good. This is how I did my last butt. Rubbed the day before with the Kinders Cherry Chipotle, Then applied a little bit more before putting it on to cook. Iāll take it out of the fridge and let it start warming up an hour or so before smoking. I smoke with cherry pellets. Once I get internal temp to about 160-165, I put it in a foil pan and pour about half a bottle of Cherry Coke Zero over it, then seal it with foil. About 190-195* Iāll take it out of the pan and back on the smoker for the last hour or so to tighten up the bark. I love a good bark on the outside. The cherry coke combined with the Kinders cherry rub gave it a smooth taste that wasnāt identifiable as cherry. I coupled it with āGeaux Glazeā, bottled and sold by a neighbor. Heās from south La, and half bleed cajun.

Iāve heard of the cherry coke thing but havenāt tried. I usually use apple juice and or beer. I usually make my own sauce but lately been using just random rubs Iāve been accumulating over the last couple years. Loved the Oakridge rubs but unfortunately they didnāt make it. Iāll have to give the cherry coke thing a try! I bet would be great for spare ribs as wellš

The cherry coke thing is real. Really good on ribs especially if you incorporate cherry into your rub.
