What's on the smoker today?

This thread is making me really want to finally get a pellet grill, but those funds have been set aside for a spotting scope upgrade. Good looking stuff here...
 
Make sure you verify the temp of your smoker with an accurate thermometer.
Ditto this. The brisket I did recently apparently killed my Traeger temp controller and fan. It was reading 250 when my wireless thermometer was reading 210. I ended up having to move it into the oven for the last 3 hours during the crutch and come to find out my oven isn't any better! I had to set it at 270 to get it to maintain a temp of 225. LAME! Traeger is fixed but now I think I might be shopping for a new oven.
 
Let us know how it turns out. I smoked a bone-in pork butt once. It tasted great but it was not falling off the bone tender, I sliced the meat off. It was because the temp stalled at about 160° and it was getting so late I pulled it at about 190°.
Know that I know about this I will have to try it again.

It turned out awesome! Toasted buns and homemade sauce. Can’t beat staring at a grill for 8 hrs all day. Well worth it the wait.
 
Just pulled 6lbs whitetail venison summer sausage with cheddar and jalapeño off the trays. no casings as I find I get a nice Rhine from the bradly. Really like this high temp cheese as it adds some visual along with solid flavor. The jalapeño is seeded and de veined so no heat but great sweet notes of freshness as my posse have tender pallets(bunch of rookies). D6F3CD1E-1299-41DD-A65F-F7704A4589E2.jpeg
 
Ribs have been on the smoker for 5.5 hours so far. Got a few to go. The Distiller's edition Lagavulin 16 goes well with the wood smoke smell and helps to pass the time. Happy 4th everyone!
