    I will keep the Akorn for some cooks but I'm also thinking about getting a smoke tube.
    On my ZGrill I have a deflector over the firepot. I used some foil and put a couple of apple chunks on it. It definitely helped. I think I'm going to get a small cast iron skillet to use in the future.

    It's life changing.

    I now smoke briskets just for putting into my pellet grill chili.

    Made some chicken wings and ABT's on the kamado today. They were delicious!

    Wife has been working from home for months. She had to go in to the office one day last week and found a 2 pound block of one year aged cheddar in the office fridge. Her boss said it was part of a gift basket somebody sent them at Christmas. Everybody had taken stuff home from the basket but nobody wanted that block of cheese. She called and asked if I wanted it. Hell yeah I do. I sampled it and it was really good. But what it really needs is some smoke...

    Shortly after getting home last night we got the news that a good friend's father passed away unexpectedly. My wife's immediate reaction to any sort of tragedy that befalls family or friends is, quick, start cooking!!! We must feed them!!!

    I always keep a couple butts in inventory but they were frozen solid. She ran to store and grabbed another pair and they went on at 8 last night. I was a little short on rub and they were out of my goto, Rasta Joe's, so we're trying some Meat Church...

    Went with a pellet tube full of hickory pellets, Traeger blended pellets in the hopper, and set the Bull for 250. Shooting for them to be done around 10

    At 4am when I left for work both were checking 160ish and lookin good...

    Currently humming along at about 180. Might have to dial back to 225 so they don't get done before I get home.

    1 pound sausage cooked and drained, one can cream of mushroom soup, half can of water, half cup of salsa, 1 pound Velveeta, 1 pound Mexican Velveeta, 8 ounce sour cream, 8 oz of smoked Gouda ...I added about a pound of pork I had smoked a few weeks ago.

    Pellet grill was set on high smoke, I stirred it up every 30ish minutes. Cooked about 2.5 hours!

    Try it you won’t regret it!!

    Spent yesterday morning clearing an auger jam...and it was quite a jam. Had to remove the auger a fraction of an inch at a time with a pry bar after everything was taken apart.

    I shall be sifting my pellets from here on out. I made some quick and easy salmon burgers on it last night and then ran the auger dry of pellets as I will do after every cook.

    That is one thing about your grill that I liked, the quick empty hopper.
    I store mine in the garage, so I hope that helps keep me from having problems with wet pellets
