Was googling for info on a decent pellet smoker. I'll never use any traditional smoker that requires very much attention so it seems like a decent option.

Anyway, reddit had some pretty good things to say about the Makers Mark from Sam's Club. Anyone ever use one?

I'm currently strongly leaving towards it as much for the smoke tray as anything although the induction burner might be nice for searing. Downside is it's makers mark, but the reviews make it sound really well built.

another option that you should consider is the relatively new gravity fed smokers from masterbuilt.  probably what I would do in that price range

I have one that I bought around six years ago.  I hardly ever use it because you will have to babysit this sucker as the pellets don't drop down into the feeder and make a center hole and you will lose the heat setting if you don't use a small stick and push the pellets into the feeder bottom.   Maybe they improved it since then.

Is your auger broken?

No, the pellets don't slide down to the bottom of the feeder and leave a hole around the auger.  Bad design of the feeder, but if you stay out by the grill and make sure the pellets are covering the auger it works fine.

Did you get the one in the link or a previous version?

Also, I see I said "makers mark" instead of members mark.

Bought a quarter of beef from a local 4-Her after the county fair. These porterhouses are dry brining overnight and getting reverse seared on the pellet grill tomorrow.

looks perfect what did you smoke on

[star seed 7]

That's some damn good looking beef Cire

[wetwillie]

Smoke ring on that is a beauty

[Cire]

Thanks, It was TINY/10 lb costco choice that my mom asked me to do for her bday.

I did about 10 hours at 200 on my old stick burner horizontal smoker with lots of pecan/salt.  Wrapped in Butcher paper until butter temp.

[Stupid Fitz]

No pics but did asian (sort of) last night. Peppers stuffed with ground chicken marinaded in soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and spices. Also Costco had Ahi Tuna on sale and I bought a box. Seared a couple of those 1 min per side to a pretty good rare temp. All pretty good. I can never get good deep asian flavors for some reason. I'm not sure what the trick is. Same thing happens when I do wings. I'll try an asian style and they are always pretty good, but the flavor is always minimal.

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Hell yeah Tom!

[KST8FAN]

Like I take no credit.  The steer, feeder, butcher do most of the work here.

I do enjoy others on here with the pro tip on aging and rubs.
