is Blowin Smoke!
I'm thinking about getting into the pellet pooper game. I've been cooking on a WSM since 2002 and a Kettle even longer than that. I also have a stick burner that I enjoy very much and that's the barbecue flavor I'm after.
But I'd like a " set and forget " cooker that's even simpler than my WSM.
The basic issue for me is smoke, charcoal/chunk smoke vrs pellet smoke. I've had a stick burner for 3 years now and its taught me a lot about smoke. And I've begun questioning charcoal/chunk smoke.
There's an extremely popular barbecue joint in Tulsa called Burn Co. Some claim its the best barbecue in the state of Oklahoma. IDK, I've not eaten there. But they cook with charcoal/chunk. They have Hasty Bake smokers. They use chunks of wood from bags like we buy at the big box store.
Steven Raichlen visited Burn Co a few years ago and posted this vid on Facebook. He goes into the smoke room, picks up the lid on a couple of Hasty Bakes and I see this white billowy smoke pouring out ........... and that's the kind of smoke I don't want from my stick burner.
Here's the 3 minute Facebook vid. This puts all kinds of questions in my mind about smoke from charcoal/chunk.
Hope this link works, I don't do FB, my wife does , this is new to me
