What temp did you cook that butt at? How long did it take?
I tried smoking giant zucchini a couple weeks ago. Not sure if I like smoked zucchini..... I wanted a light smoke, so I used some maple pellets, which at the time were the lightest smoke pellets I had. I would not recommend them. Very distinct flavor. Not sure if I liked Maple at that point.
My last smoke was a few large chicken breasts. Again, I wanted light smoke, so I tried the maple pellets again. Setpoint used was 300F, and I used the meat probe with the meat temp set to 160F, so it could internally cook to reach the recommended temp of 165F.
Worked perfectly. The chicken was so moist, a friend of mine got squirted in the eye by juice when he went to cut a slice off the breast. The maple smoke however.....again, I don't think I'm a fan of maple.
So last weekend I bought a few bags of different wood pellets. Pecan, Alder, Chery, Apple and a mix. Looking forward to trying each.

Fred, where did you buy that GMG? I can't find any dealers in Ontario.
Thanks

Just read this great, very thorough (long) article about pellet smokers. The information in the comment section is extremely valuable, too. What Everyone Should Know Before Buying Pellet Smokers

Thanks They don't seem to have much of a dealer network set up in Canada. I found two people in Ontario advertising through Kijiji. On of them is in Ingersoll I believe. Here you go: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-bbq-outdoor-cooki...gationFlag=trueThere is a storefront dealer in Barrie.

I want to be part of the 'internet of because you can'. I'm not sure yet that being able to monitor my smoker from my smartphone really has any value, but I wanted to give it a whirl.

It is pretty neat, have to admit that.
Right now I think my top priority is getting some kind of roof over the smoking/grilling area.
You know all those areas complaining about drought ? Their rain is here if they want to come and pick it up.

the 'internet of because you can' Awesome, Fred. I'm enjoying your cooking, and your success has definitely made me look closely at getting a pellet smoker.
