ktgrok Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well, a pellet grill technically. It was for DH for Father’s Day but I get to play with it too. We did a pork butt that reminded us we can only eat so much pork, lol. Too fatty. have done boneless skinless chicken thighs that are a big hit- easy to put on a salad or add to veggies or a sandwich. corn on the cob was very yummy. What yummy thing should we do next?

Forget-Me-Not Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Fun! We have one too (a Green Mountain Grill) and just did a smoked tri-tip last night. My husband will do brisket occasionally. Smoked hamburgers were good but we missed the char, so he’ll sear them on the regular grill for a bit too. My dad buys whole chickens and makes an amazing smoked chicken. Baked potatoes are good smoked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstharr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The hardest thing to learn about smoking is that it is really low temps and long times. After about 10 years of smoking, I finally understand that when a brisket recipes calls for 16-18 hours at 225, it is not 8 hrs at 300. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Mouse Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Whole turkey is great smoked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarita Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Whole packer brisket is my favorite thing to come out of the smoker. A local restaurant does this smoked potato salad. I want to try that. Smoked hamburger embedded with cheese also yummy. For thanksgiving you could do your turkey in the smoker, although there is a learning curve with this, but it frees up the oven (my husband has notes on how to do this it was 3 years in the making for the best turkey we've ever had). We've done steak in the smoker also yummy but I prefer the sous vide steak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Welcome to the dark side. Now you must try smoked Mac n cheese, baked beans, smoked baked potatoes ( awesome for making potato salad too) and then down the dessert lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickaDeeDeeDee Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Yum, that's exciting. I wasn't sure I was on board when we purchased one but I'm so glad we did. We do a lot of smoking on our pellet grill. My husband is preparing a rack of ribs to put on right now *yum*. Some of my favorite things in addition to ribs: Spatchcock chicken, Brisket, jalapeno poppers, bone in pork chops Turkey breast and roast beef aren't things that I jump for joy about, but we season 'em up and smoke and slice as cold cuts for sandwiches and it is very good. My very favorite thing to grill (not smoke) on the pellet grill is boneless skinless chicken breasts. I marinate with the following, blended in the blender: 1 can chipotles in adobo (I like the small can of Embasa brand) 1 whole sweet onion (might sound weird, but it caramelizes on the outside of the chicken during grilling and is amazing) couple cloves of garlic lemon and lime juice (sorry, I don't have a measure because I eyeball it) salt cumin This will be enough marinade for 4-6 pounds of chicken. We usually make a big batch to have leftovers for the freezer and use it on bowls, salads, in quesadillas, etc. I have a hard time getting a good flank steak but it's so good grilled on the pellet grill for fajitas or with homemade chimichurri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
