Look great. What's in the Greek sausage?
Cheers.
Pork shoulder & lamb. Leek, garlic, orange peel, red wine, oregano, coriander, allspice, salt & pepper.
Think going to add pork belly next time for more fat.

So just finished 1st cook on my new pellet grill. Decided to do ribs as they are relatively easy & can compare to the results I get on my offset.
I also got a meat grinder/sausage maker for fathers day so made my 1st sausages too. Went for a Greek style village sausage because I used to use them alot in my cooking when I lived over there but as of yet I cant find anywhere to buy them here.
On my offset, the 3-2-1 method is pretty much spot on, I only use it as a guide tho, I just cook the ribs to a deep mahogany colour then wrap for 2 hours then upwrap, glaze & cook until glaze caramels over, probably 35-45 mins. The ribs I had were a little smaller than I would usually get so thought might not take quite so long but ended up exactly 3-2-1.
I was very pleased with how the ribs turned out, on par with the offset, not as smokey but smokey enough, loads of flavour though.
The sausages need a little work. They cooked well in the pellet grill but were a little crumbly texture wise. Been reading up & think I need more fat in the mixture, need to knead the mixture more & keep everything as cold as possible (any advice with this would be much appreciated).
On the whole though I'm very pleased with the pellet grill, although I love cooking on my offset (I dont know many men that dont like messing with fire), it's nice not to be constantly fire tending, gave me chance to do a bit in the garden.

Thanks Simon. 👍

Cheers, it's good to see so many like minded people sharing their experiences & ideas (especially from the mids 😁).

Hi, thanks. How do you find the pellet smoker? Where in the mids are you? is there anywhere for buying pellets local? I have some traeger pellets I got from webs for my pizza oven, they were £17 but if can get cheaper would be cool.

Cheers smoking monkey, I thought of getting a better offset but I got the pellet grill because although I like the offset, i wanted something that I dont have to spend hours continuously tending the fire & also I had a great deal on the pellet.
Hi ice, I'm near stourbridge.

Hi all.
I have liked bbq all my life but a couple of years ago I bought an offset & have now developed a bit of an obsession with smoking.
I have a chargriller offset, it a lot of hard work sometimes & took a lot of trial & error to get right but now get great food on it.
I have just bought a pellet grill but haven't had chance to fire it up yet, hopefully will next weekend. Now I have found this forum I will be searching for any tips & advice.

Apple wood
in General Discussion

Hi all.
Does anyone know where I can source any apple or cherry logs? I am in the west mids but can pick up from any areas within 40 miles or so. I have been getting well seasoned apple logs from Amazon £10 for a bag about potato sack size but looks like sold out now. Can get oak easy enough but it is too strong for certain meats sometimes.
Cheers Lee
