I wonder if there's a way to get the hopper to feed the auger instead of the pellets not sliding down after the center ones have dropped. It's kind of like when we would open the grain ben on the farm and only the center grain would go through the feeder. The only way to get the rest of the grain to drop was to craw inside and shovel the sides.

I am smoking all the meats this weekend. Some for immediate consumption, some to be vac-sealed and frozen for later use.

2 prime packers, 1 choice packer, 2 pork butts, pork spare ribs, beef cheeks.

Dates, for a marinade?

Stuff with goat cheese and Mexican chorizo, wrap with bacon, smoke then on to high heat, drizzle with maple syrup my nizzle.

Lol, I’m certain that ASTMom is a lovely lady! Pretty jealous of your smoke plans... I should have planned ahead for the nice weather

Making ancho pasilla marinade for butts & pork ribs.

1 packer, 3 racks of ribs and beef cheeks.

Beef cheeks after 3 hours of smoke and ready for sous vide.

Prepping bacon wrapped jalapeños along with dates. Both stuffed with chorizo & goat cheese. The dates get drizzled with maple syrup after finished.

Butts pulled around 4am.

2 Briskets pulled around 10am

I brisket cut and being bagged for 2 of my buddies to split. Other one going in the freezer with the 2 butts for later.

Just 2 more briskets left, should be done within the hour. They are each getting sealed & sent to different houses.

Mrstdaver brought home a chunk of top round and a bottle of teriyaki marinade with no specific plans for either. I tried to make jerky for the first time on a whim. Didn’t pay attention and cooked it too long. Flavor is pretty good, but it’s tough and dry. 2 out of 7 stars.

I kinda like the really tough jerky

ChiComCat · « **Reply #4843 on:** November 09, 2020, 04:18:02 PM »

When I make jerky, I freeze the meat 20-30 min before cutting to help get it super thin. Also, no matter how thin, I still like to pound it out with a tenderizer.

Institutional Control · « **Reply #4844 on:** November 09, 2020, 04:21:09 PM »

Speaking of meat tenderizers, I've recently started using one before frying chicken and what a difference.

I’m using my pellet grill for the first time today. Not a lot of smoke coming out of it, is that normal?

Yes, long smokes you will get plenty of smoke flavor in the meat. If you are doing something that cooks quickly use an Amazing Tube to add more smoke. You pack it with pellets and light one end to add extra smoke.
