What’s on the smoker today?

Hungover. 9 lb butt on the kettle with the slow n’ sear. What’s on your smoker?

I put an 8 lb shoulder in early this morning. Trying something a little different, I’m using only pistachio shells for my smoke source.

Interesting. If you have time, take some pics and start a thread and let us know how it turns out.

How do you have that setup? Any pictures?

How do I post pics from my phone?
Also, homemade rub and hickory. Thought about throwing some oak on there but stayed away from that Texas flavor in favor of true Deep South BBQ.

But to answer your question, I set it up like Adrenaline BBQ recommended. I got ten coals white hot. I then put a full chimney in the slow n’ sear. I then put boiling water in the water tray. Once the dome temperature got near 200 degrees, I set the lid vent to about 1/3 open and the bottom vent to about a third open too. It’s been steady at 226 degrees for over two hours.

What? I've never heard of that. That's a delicious way to get your smoke.

Yep I’ve done it with ribs several times adds a really nice mild nuttiness to the meat

Do you soak the shells in water 1st?

Looks like you missed the chance to protect your heat shield with some aluminum foil
I've got two racks of St. Louis spares on right now. Spritzing with an apple juice and apple cider vinegar mixture.

Final product on the St. Louis spare ribs
And one for the "electric smokers can't create smoke rings" crowd (yes, a pellet smoker is electric...I did plug it in after all)

It has foil on it, I've been lazy and haven't changed it. Ribs look good

Thanks. I will say that I've noticed when I'm doing a big hunk of meat and therefore using a large piece of foil that it sometimes does affect the ambient smoker temp. I think maybe because it's not porous so it directs the heat out to the edges and up the stack. But the thought of having to clean out that smoker after a 12 hour smoke with a pork butt and no foil is enough to make me deal with the temp issues
