Did an all night cook on my SmokeFire and WSM last weekend. Had a 14 lb Snake River Farms Wagyu brisket and a 9 lb Porter Road pork shoulder to cook for 24 family members on Saturday. Fired up the SmokeFire and WSM both just before 8pm on Friday. Used Lumberjack Hickory pellets at 225* and...

OK, I've never had any issues with the SmokeFire. I'm one of the original owners who ordered long before they went on sale and it's been rock solid for all three+ years. Until today. On Saturday I used it to cook some chicken. I saw that there was an app update so I checked prior to cooking...

Pulled out a couple filets for dinner tonight. Cooked them at 350* until they were 125* internal and then pulled them off under foil. Put on a cast iron skillet and raised the temp to 600* for my reverse sear. Put some smoked tallow (from the trimmings off my last wagyu brisket) in the...

Grabbed some Porter Road filet mignons and decided to wrap them in my homemade bacon. Added grilled "baked" potatoes, a caprese salad and paired with a Croix Pinot Noir. It was a fine meal on this day of remembrance. Thanks to all who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Had a 7 lb brisket flat in the freezer and decided last week to do pastrami. I put it in the brine on Saturday. Flipped it on Tuesday and took it out of the brine yesterday. Then I put it in water overnight to desalinate it a bit. Rubbed it this morning and tossed it on the SmokeFire at 225*. It...

I was at BJ's last week grabbing some things for my wife and I always stroll through the meat section when I'm there. They happened to have a few pork bellies so I grabbed a 6 pounder. Mixed up the cure and got it into the fridge on Saturday the 26th. Flipped the bag each day until Friday...

Decided to try making pan pizza tonight On the SmokeFire. Usually I cook them on a pizza stone but this time wanted to do them in cast iron and skillets. Made my usual pizza dough yesterday and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Made the sauce today. Did a margarita pizza for my wife with...

My wife pulled our 18 lb turkey from the freezer late last week to thaw in the fridge. She checked it Monday afternoon to see how it was doing and she became concerned that it had already thawed completely (after opening the turkey we saw that it was just thawed and could have waited another...

I see that there’s a new version of the Weber app out. Says it will add remote temp control and a smoke boost. I’m hitting the road early tomorrow so I won’t be able to try it until late next week. Looking forward to hearing others results.

Made up a batch of pizza dough and some sauce yesterday. Got home from a round of golf today and fired up the SmokeFire. A nice way to wind down from the 8.5 mile walk.

I haven't been on here in a week or so. Not for any particular reason, just busy with other stuff. On Saturday I did some beef back ribs on the SmokeFire, which turned out very tasty. The forecast on Tuesday was for temps in the upper 60s and dry, but of course they got that wrong and it...

I picked up a brisket flat last week when I had to swing by Wegmans. It was only 7 lbs and USDA Choice, but I had to take what they had. I got up and started the pellet at 5 am with a full hopper of Hickory pellets. I seasoned the brisket with 50/50 kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Put...

I reverse seared some 1.5" boneless pork chops on the SmokeFire this afternoon. Paired with homemade mac and cheese and green beans cooked with some of last week's ham. Pretty tasty.

Sitting on the patio, listening to John Prine, having a Private Stock and Coke, while grilling some chicken. Cheers JP!

Just threw a turkey onto my 22” because it hasn’t been used since the SmokeFire arrived. The WSM was used for jerky and everything else was on the SF. I felt bad for it.

I've had my WSM for many years. It's rock solid and runs at 250*-275* all day long. I use the Minion Method and usually have water in the pan. This past weekend I wanted to make some jerky, which would require a much lower temp. I just purchased a Party Q ATC and figured I would use the same...

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I searched the board and didn’t see any mention of it. I usually use Kingsford blue bag when I grill and smoke. I need to pickup some more for this weekend and I saw that Lowe’s has Kingsford long burn available. The bag says it burns up to 40%...
