Im placing this in the cooking section , rather than
the Kitchen Consumer selection , as this is more about
Cooking w a pellet grill , than types of pellet grills.
some time ago , way back when , i began to be interested in a pellet grill.
\Id seen many BBQ competition shows , three entrants using
their own rigs , and well experienced having successful local BBQ buineses
pellets interested me , as , properly PID'd , much of the fuel source was
being worked out for you by your rig. nothing agains a real deal off set stick burner
but I wasn't going to stay up all night feeding it, as i wanted to take that variable
out of the equation . There was the small Traeger , which I almost got
but wanted to go w a Yoder ,
Fast Forward. ; times have changed . Im significantly older
in terns of stiffness , etc. and now have an Indoor Cat , MC.
he escaped twice early on , but I was able to go get him , inspite of 20 F and a foot of snow.
Id not be able to do that now. and Id have to place him in Detention
a downstairs bathroom , when I went in and out . I do this routinely for Recycle day
Soo :
introducing the WHPS : Woods Hole Pellet Society
located in WH , MA at a friends . Im the Chief Theoretician
my friend ( His place ) is the Chief technical Officer : he does the cooking , and maintenance.
I get to kibutts all I want , until he changes his email address and phone number.
the Setting :
the YS640s , as delivered about 10 days ago :
all 418 lbs.
removed from pallet , which took some doing :
after the burn in : 350F for at least an hour , the first cook ;
Spatched chickens :
as I understand this : 425 F ( for crispy skin ) until the probed temp was 160 F :
skin was crispy , the chicken was very moist. my friends wife commented
that this was the best chicken she ever had. and this is a family that has traveled
\and paid attention . they said the chicken had a wonderful light smokiness , delicious
not overpowering the flavor of the chicken. say , in the French Style , rather than very heavy smoke.
pellet grills are said to offer smokiness on the lighter side. you want more smoke ?
you use a pellet tube . noted w the brisket.
next brisket , Costco Choice ( they didn't have prime that day } about 13lbs
trimmed.
brisket w a pan to renewer some fat from the trim. , and a smoke tube , essential if you want to add extra smoke.
the meat was done at 225 F ( hickory pellets ) for a total of about 8 hours.
at 198 F wrapped in butchers paper ( 4:20 into the cook ) and left for 3.5 more hours
I think this is the point the the B was wrapped in butcher paper.
rested ( unsure of how long ) :
rub was salt and freshly ground pepper and granulated garlic
I have not tried this. my friend was delighted w it . moist , tender , smokey.
today he will try high temp grilled Salmon , on some GrillGrated that were extra
this model has a removable square piece of steel , over the fire box on the L
that you can remove ( when cold ! ) and get direct grilling over that L afrea
on the grill grates.
we also have the blanket , the SS grease trap ( for the from )
and two SS sold shelves that slide ofver the two shelves you see in the picture.
this is not a minor item , and you need a keen interest , outdoor space
not too far from the Beverage Area
and some funds and the time to put it to good use
w the best meat you choose to afford.
Im very pleased
my plans as the Theoretician
is to make the WHPS the epicenter
of Duck . outside Duck , vertical Duck , spatched duck etc.
for videos , I highly recommend "" Rum & Cook ""
he seems to have given his Yoder , and pellets in general
a great deal of thought :
