That’s why I bought a house , well that and a yard for a dog.

TSC has their name a pellets now. Few bucks cheaper than pitboss. I don't notice any profile flavor differences. Believe i gave $12 a 40lb bag last week.

So, I realized the Costco in-store vs online prices were different. The Treager 33lb bag was $20, and the Kirkland 40lb bag was $13. I grabbed the Kirkland pellets this time, to give them a try.

The biggest problem with the Kirkland pellets is that the bag isn't resealable. So, I'm going to have to use 2 20lb pellet totes to store the whole bag. The Treager 33lb bag is resealable, which is a nice feature.

13 is a steal... I've never seen a resealable bag. Must be the expensive 1s??
I store my pellets in 5gal driveway salt buckets my gf gets from work every winter at McDonalds. I get like 30lbs in each bucket and store in the basement when i get 5 bags or so at a time. Recently it has only been a bag for now.

Reading through this thread gave me the itch for a new grill. We already have a 36" Blackstone and gave our old gas grill to a family member. The debate was down to a pellet grill or a simple charcoal grill. In the end, we decided the 22" Weber Kettle fit our needs best. Looking forward to breaking it in!

Made a good choice. Small learning curve with charcoal but so worth it. I love doing vegetables over charcoal too. Especially asparagus

Second attempt at New York Strips, I think I got it about perfect at 4.5 minutes a side at around 450 degrees

Had time to burn off any residue from the factory and get it a little seasoned. Life is busy right now, but hope to make time this weekend to do some grilling on it.

Nice color choice. I couldn't remember when mine was that clean, but I found a pic...

Tease here. Bought a sale boneless half ribeye from Kroger today. $63 for a hair over 7#. Gonna cut into 1.25" steaks tomorrow and sear on the Blackstone with all the butter. Extremely nice marbling for the price. I've seen a lot of USDA Prime that didn't look this good

This is your fault.

Thank you!

Showed fiance this thread. She asked if we could use the kamado for meats and something like a blackstone for everything else.

And here we are!

It was pre cooked bacon and sausage so it's more forgiving in the cooler but brown and serves cooked in bacon grease taste so much better. Then cinnamon rolls in a skillet that's been lightly greased with bacon grease over the fire are also super good.

Last night's plate. The shrimp were already breaded but the rest was me.

First time cooking on the BS.



I feel about 10lbs heavier.

Damn, that was some good eating.
