Thread: Sausage and Smoke Cooking

For myself the idea of a pellet grill is that I wont have to watch it all the time.

So far I have found myself on the back steps watching it.

It is going to be hard to go to bed in a bit and let it go!

Hey Tim, that looks like a ThermoWorks Smoke, how do you like it? Just wondering

Works good. But if you have two watches one of the is always wrong......

Intersting to me is that the smoker is changing every 2'f and the smoke is 0.1'f.

That is the meat probe. The smoker temp itself changes every 5'f and the smoke is 0.1'f again.

Does it make a big difference? I don't know. They are in different places.

I once worked in a candy factory and when they complained about the curing of the candy I moved the probe and they were happy.

I 'think' that they are close but not close enough, I use the ThermoWorks ThermoPen to make sure that things are up to temp.

04:44 here and the brisket is 183.0'f

16.5 hours.

I have to go lay down for a bit.

1.5 hours later and 2.9'f more.

Time to go lay down a bit more.

I awoke to a stable pit and a lovely hunk of meat that’s worked through the stall unwrapped.
Set the pit to 205’ all night and as of this am, 172’ internal and starting to spritz
.


Temp is rising in the grill up to 230’ now due to the extra air hourly for spritzing , but that’s ok by me.
Should be resting by 10:30 and serving at around 4!
Cheers.
Weather may not cooperate today, but the food will!

The thermoworks line of temp probes are all accurate to .1’. Different readings are all attributable to rate of change during sample span. Only thing they are susceptible to are flare ups on the cables. That’ll kill them and they usually fail completely but I have had one fail slow, as in it got brittle and started to read low.
During clean up if any of the cables are getting stiff, they are the ones that will fail. Having a few on hand spare is a good idea and until you open them, they take up little space.
My internal is up to 180’ now and things are progressing as expected!
Smells so Frikkin good in the yard.
