Like $9 @ HomerDePot, works good. I used it in my propane smoker, worked better than the one the mfg provided.

Off the smoker @ 160?(5 hrs @ 220?, apple/hickory mix), split 3 ways.

One to the fridge to slice for grilled sammiches, one to oven to finish with Mrs bo BBQ sauce and one to oven to finish in Teriyaki.

Guess I didn't look back far enough...

I've got a sirloin tip/cap on the smoker this evening. [Beer]

Are you still finding those? My closest Sam's doesn't have them right now.

ETA: I ask because I was using them this past season and assumed they would be regular, and not "seasonal".

ETA2: Not just panic time. I went in before the real rush started, and they didn't have them on the floor.

We picked up 5 bags at southlands the other day. They only keep 1 pallet at a time it seems, so when a store runs out, it takes a while to replenish.

Just checked the app, shows in stock at Southlands now

Castle Rock Sam's club usually have these also... can't beat em for the price. Good all around pellet...

Wife bought a turkey for some reason. I guess she's going to try and smoke it tomorrow.

Spatchcock is her friend. Maybe even consider cut in half depending on turkey size vs smoker size.

A bird too big for the appliance is an exercise in frustration.

I was actually thinking about that. Smoker isn't very big. I think cutting in half would be better. Probably go over better than if I just tell her to throw it away.
