What's cookin' boys?

Been around pellets a while. I burn about 5 tons of wood pellets for heating each winter. Probably close to 100 tons now.

I know different pellets, but haven't been sold on another grill to store, service, etc.

If a Pellet Smoker/Grill could do all I need, I'd be there.

Just can't get there.

My BIL said the same to me.

Then my brother bought one. And he told our BIL that I was right all along and you don't know what you're missing.

On sale at Costco a couple months later. My Sister convinced him to buy the Traeger. Around $600. Now, my BIL says they use it twice a week. He's hooked like a maniac.

I don't know anyone that bought one, that regrets it.

Just sayin'

I've met a couple people that had them and didn't like them. But I think the big issue was they left it out uncovered, then moisture got to the pellets and clogged up the works.

Mine is stored outside. But I keep it covered faithfully. I've had it for 2 years now and use it quite often.

Summer time it's used almost daily. Winter, probably once a week. But then I tend to make cook with the crock pot a lot in winter making stews and chili.

Mine is always covered. There's a computer in it.

The pellets and auger shute must remain dry.

We've had ours about 6 years or so.

It's burger time!!! Some decent angus 80/20 with several different seasonings..........

Got the buns toasted up, a nice sauce made with some sauteed onions to go on top. Served with a side of baked beans loaded with minced garlic and shallots.

Turned out quite nice!

The food you cook always looks awesome, and it is almost everyday! Are you a chef?
Where do you find the time?

Thank you sir for that compliment! Means a lot!.

I am definitely not a chef.

I hate and can't afford most fast food to feed my wife and 3 kids.

Just a guy with a massive cooking addiction that loves to cook for his family.

My mechanical background has always allowed me to adapt and understand cooking recipes and procedures though.

A recipe is the exact same as a repair procedure in my mind.

I do come from a pretty strong cooking background due to my pops and grandma being fairly confident and successful cookers. I did start cooking quite early in life because of my pops though. And I often take it as God preparing me how to provide for my family.

But absolutely no professional background whatsoever.

My posts aren't intended to ever boast, but to create positive conversations/ interactions and to potentially encourage others to create an atmosphere in which their family can come together and understand the real meaning of love and happiness. Which just so happens to occur often in our kitchen LOL!

However, there are several fellers on here that absolutely blow me away with their cooking talents. And that always gives me tons of motivation to keep it going.

Y'all know who you are........
