Ordered a Pellet grill

I also have the rec tec 700, bought the side box also. The smoked cheese that comes out of that thing is incredible!

OMG someone mentioned meatloaf... I love making freeform venison meatloaf with bacon in the smoker. Likely the best I have ever eaten.

[MaryB]

Smoked meatloaf is a go to summer meal for me, bake a potato in the smoker(scrub it and toss it in, no foil needed, nice crisp skin/fluffy interior) to go with.

Smoked meatloaf is to die for

2 racks of ribs are going on the Pit Boss for Mothers Day.
I am goin to use 2 different rubs.
Jalapeno poppers are going to be the appetizer.

I'm cooking for my wife and her mom for mothers day. I have baked potatoes in right now (thanks for the idea Mary). Some steak going on in about an hour with shrimp to follow.

I am smoking 2 racks as I type this, please tell more about the meatloaf. I had a pork meatloaf at a restaurant in east Nashville last fall, outstanding. I can’t seem to get the seasoning right, any recipes?

Ribs here also. We had a big family party and did 4 racks of ribs, a brisket, and BBQ beans in the smoker

I actually like to do half medium pork sausage and half 80/20 ground beef. A bunch of diced onions, diced bell pepper if I have it, Zatarains, black pepper & maybe some A1 or Heinz 57, an egg or 3 and some Italian bread crumbs.

I usually make 6-8 lbs. and divide it into 3 or 4 loafs. Wrap in bacon and smoke at 150 for 2-3 hours. I usually put brown sugar on them and turn the temperature up to about 300 until internal temp pushes past 150. I usually bring them in and broil to crisp up the bacon and get the internal temp up to about 165 then pull out of the oven. The temp will continue to climb for a while.

[HodakaGA]

Oh yeah, we'll eat one hot, save one for sandwiches and freeze the rest for later.

Thanks for the link and recipe, I may put on on 50/50 pork and venison with my chicken parts tomorrow. Wish I had gotten one of these things long time ago!

Boy am I loving this grill.
I grilled some jumbo shrimp and fresh pineapple last night.
Half the shrimp were marinated in teriyaki and half in orange and ginger.
My wife is liking it too. I am doing more of the cooking....dale

Had smoked red snapper tacos last night using 100% mesquite pellets. They were fantastic!

Three racks of ribs and potatoes on the smoker right now. Doing the 3-2-1 method, just pulled the foil off for the final hour of smoke. If they are half as good as they smell they will be excellent.

[dale2242]

What temp and for how long do you cook the potatoes?
I want to try some simple bakers on the grill as well as some of the small ones chunked and cooked with olive oil, garlic, etc.

[MaryB]

I never foil ribs... I like the crispy bark you get on the outside by not foiling.

[R.Spencer]

Here is a rub mix I use for pork.
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 tsp. cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp chilling powder
1 tsp crushed red pepper

Place in a bowl and mix well, the put it in a shaker and get after it

The potatoes I had in with the ribs on Saturday were put in a little over an hour before I pulled them out. They were the small potatoes from a bag, not the big bakers you could buy pre hoarder mentality. I had the temperature at 225*. They should have had at least 30 minutes more. They were cooked but still a bit too firm for my liking. I am still trying to figure out the right timing when cooking different things at the same time. If you are only cooking potatoes I see no reason to do them any different than you would in the kitchen oven.

[MaryB]

At 225 plan on 2-3 hours for a potato. When I cook chicken I am at 375 and they take a little over an hour... I like the skin really crisp so I tend to over cook them a bit.
