I cheated and ordered starter from King Arthur in 2020 and it worked great. Kept me busy for a year and a half until I fubar it and it went bad. Just thinking about starting up again thanks to your post! Thanks

Thanks will give it a shot on a small batch and see how it turns out.

I started out with a Louisiana pellet, switched to Traeger. Both ended up at son-in-laws houses. They both worked fine, but… end up with a Yoder ys640s and I can say this’ll be the last one I’ll need

I smoked two planks off short ribs on Sunday. Started off at 225 for about 4 hrs, then wrapped in butcher paper and a little bbq sauce and put back in the smoker. At around 8 hrs they were around 195 but I was in a time crunch (I know) and pulled them to rest for an hour in a cooler. Turned out really good but not great. Mistake was listening to the 6 hr YouTube wizards, lucky that I covered my butt and started them 3 hrs earlier than planned. I am convinced the best friend to a smoker meal is a good cooler-wrap-temp probe. Start early and let it rest longer if it needs it!!
