Dinner thread?

First brisket on the pellet grill, served up with a side of mac n cheese (with a dash of curry powder and 4 rashers of homekill bacon, beautiful!) and some slaw. Not bad

@7.62 looks awesome. I haven't tried a brisket yet as I haven't been able to find a suitable chunk of meat.

Sorry I missed your question re the pellets - I am using Pitboss "Competition Blend".
Why? Because they were on special at Bunnings and they were the only place I could get them easily under lock down.
Are they smoky? Yes - almost too smoky.

The smoke intensity may also be dictated by your smoker. What brand do you have?
I bought a Green Mountain Grills. Seemed to get good reviews, plus I liked the fact that they have a dedicated pizza oven the fits under the hood and funnels heat directly from the firebox, and I liked their thermal blanket. The thermal blanket saves a shit load on pellets. I think it probably burns less than 1/2 what it does without it. It is also 12V, which means that you can run it off a lead acid battery rather than 230V if the power goes out or you want to put it on a trailer and go remote.

If you are looking for a rain cover for your smoker, I can highly recommend https://thebbqcovercompany.co.nz/sho...canvas-covers/
I bought one of their standard hooded bbq covers and it goes over the top of my smoker (chimney and all) extremely well. These covers are extremely well made and worth the money. I also have a flat top one on my 6 burner plate bbq.
