What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[buffalobo]

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.

brisket flat?

Have had a brisket on brine since yesterday morning, goes on smoker tomorrow morning.

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

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

I like the pellets that Sam's has. Low ash, and taste good. I think they were $14/bag. Not sure if my Traeger pellets are just old or what, but they seem to produce more ash.

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.

160 for brisket is a little early, usually wrap @ that and finished @ 205ish.

I tried a shortcut method last sunday. High smoke (220) for 3 hrs, dropped to low for another 3 (6 total) placed in the instantpot for 1 hr.
Used 1/4c beef broth some brown sugar mixed in, that's on top of the usual dry rub used for smoking

The spouse who is not a brisket fan said it was the best one she's had. Even better than the local bbq place.
The folks down the road who eat there a few times a week agreed .
