Hi, I’ve been catching up on some of your videos researching for a new smoker and I am interested to learn more of your experience between the Pitts and Spits with smoke box and Woodwind Pro with respect to overall smoke profile, ease of use, and functionality of the grill’s. Thanks for all the great content.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ 4 месяца назад

@kodynelson6781 p&s has better flavor with the smoke cage, can fit multiple briskets, more versatile and can sear with it. Super high build quality. Will last forever. Wwp is smaller, less expensive, great low temp smoke and lower temp capabilities, probably more convenient, less flavor with the smoke box and much cheaper build in my opinion though.

Wow, almost $3,000 for a pellet smoker. I've always owned Traeger smokers and they have done a good job. Not as heavy duty as the Maverick though.

@tommyboy4128 3 месяца назад

As they say, ya get what ya pay for and such is the case here. I recently sold my Traeger Ironwood 850 and got myself a Maverick 1250. It's like night and day between the two. From superior materials to build quality as well as holding temps with little no no fluctuation like the Traeger, it's a solid choice and glad I took the plunge. On top of that they have excellent customer service!

I have a pellet smoker, one of the tower types and I do it very slightly differently. But it's super close. I do extra smoke tubes from the get go and like 225, then go up later. But I also like islay scotch so.... The more smoke the better for me. I'm an oven rester, and on keep warm at 150 I put another full pan of water under the wrapped brisket. Not for the humidity but for the thermal mass. Keeps the oven from doing as many wild swings. Ovens tend to have just really bad feedback loops for maintaining temp.

@ElectricLuvz 5 месяцев назад

On my pellet grill I always have started at a low 180 to maximize smoke.. but usually for waay longer (8-12+ hours overnight) and then incrementally upping the temp in the morning to 225, 250, 275 etc over time (usually higher, the more panicked I get when it starts reaching late afternoon lol). Then I wrap in foil at 160-170 and continue cooking at 275-300 temp until the brisket probes tender at ~200-205. But I'll try this method tonight, especially with the 2 pans underneath. Only difference is I don't have a way of holding at 150 (nor the time even if I did) though so i'll continue with the method of cooking until ~205. Hope it goes well. :)

@smoketrailsbbq Impressive details in your videos. A bit confused on this video vs Texas brisket video on items : - there you pull the brisket at 190, while here at 200. Any reason for differences in temp of the brisket between offset and pallet cooking ? - here you use foil, while in the offset video you use butcher paper. What difference does that make ?

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Месяц назад

After a 14 hour cook on an offset I used to find I was getting the right tenderness at around 190 because the brisket had more time to cook, render collagen etc. But nowadays I do slightly shorter cooks and I've received feedback from people that 190 is a bit too underdone in some cases, so now I aim for around 195.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Месяц назад

I use foil now because it's cheaper, cleaner and i don't notice a huge difference wrapping in paper vs foil if I'm taking it all the way to 195 unwrapped.

@YoInPuLsE 4 месяца назад

Ok so I did it today came out super juicy flavor phenomenal but my flat wasn’t really tender now I’m not complaining I pulled it off to wrap at about 190 is there something I could of done better to get a little more tenderness out of the flat? Thank you for your video btw

@SmokeTrailsBBQ 4 месяца назад

@HarbCreek51 3 месяца назад

While the majority of the video is very informative and well done I have one complaint. The part where you talk about holding temps and checking it with a water pan atleast in my case was completely incorrect. The water pan would only read 150 if I had the oven set to 220 and it held this temp overnight but I noticed alot of juices had come out of the brisket. I temped the brisket and to my horror found it at 210 degrees. I then set my oven to 150 and temped the brisket multiple times over the next 8 hours and found it was holding just above 150 but the damage was already done. So just a word to the wise watch for the water pan to read way to low.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ 3 месяца назад

Thanks for bringing this up. One question, did you have the water pan foiled? If it was open then it would be super low from evaporative cooling.

@HarbCreek51 3 месяца назад

@SmokeTrailsBBQ Never even thought about that, It was open. Definitely had an awesome flavor still to the bark but the meat was so dry. Will definitely be trying this method in the future. Appreciate all your video and advice.

@Keasbeysknight 5 месяцев назад

@jmantwild9373 5 месяцев назад

I'm sure there is no difference in taste, but the main difference I can see between a real Texas brisket and the pellet grill is the smoke ring. I almost never see a nice smoke ring from a pellet smoker. I say almost because I have seen one or two with a good smoke ring, but I think maybe those are cold smoked for awhile before cooking.

@richardg4817 4 месяца назад

I’ve heard a lot of comments that smoke tubes produce a distinct sub quality smouldery smoke flavour. I’m surprised it is included in this recipe 😊

@SmokeTrailsBBQ 5 месяцев назад

They can produce an ashy/acrid flavor but it takes a lot, like running an entire tube, refilling it and running it again multiple times. One round of a tray/tube is fine and darkens up the bark quite a bit.

Pitts & Spitts pellet grills are glorified convection ovens. Smokes just like you'll see in most videos on RU-vid where an ancillary smoke source is not employed... NO smoke after startup, NONE. Pitts & Spitts sent me a replacement controller within a week of me getting the 1250, telling me "oh, that's 'blue; smoke, it's smoking" (more like invisible smoke). I've had it 5 years now & MUST use an ancillary smoke source. PITA & loss of the entire bottom grate. I guess they must be paying good to sponsor people like Steve, Jeremy Yoder & Harry Soo, to stand next to a smoker that is not even producing ANY smoke (go watch Jeremy or Harry's video), how shameful. Wish I still had my circa 2007 USA made Traeger.
