What to put in the smoker this weekend?

Both. You're in for the $30 either way, and you're going to end up with a pellet grill anyway.

Truth!

18lb prime brisket from costco. Ended up around 14lbs after trimming.



Went onto the smoker at 2:30am. After 8 hours on the smoker (still had another 4 hours to go)

That looks amazing. I think I can even smell it. Those Prime briskets at Costco have been some of the best I've ever made. Enjoy!

There's more bang for the buck at Food Service Warehouse / Shamrock.

I like the shamrock pork butts, but the shamrock briskets I've gotten have never been as nice as the costco ones... Costco ones are prime for not much more $$$.

Time to buy new smoker. Cheapie Masterbuilt did good job for 3yrs. Going to upgrade to pellet style, just have not decided on make/model.

I went from a MES30 that served me well for years to a GMG David Bowie WiFi model and love it. I've had some hiccups but the customer service has been fantastic through them.

Look at the Cabelas branded smokers, they are usually made by Camp Chef...keep an eye on the bargain cave.

I'll stick with my Pit Barrel Cooker tho

I put an 8lb pork shoulder on this morning. It's been cooking for about 3 hours so far, got a few more to go. It's being smoked with oak since that is all I have right now. This is the biggest pice of meat I have smoked off our pig so far. I took the other two pigs to the butcher yesterday, so in a week or two I should have around 500-600 pounds of pork to play with.
