Can You Cook Steaks in a Vertical Smoker? Ribeye In A Pellet Smoker

[@BigGunz357]

I did 3 steaks in my vertical smoker yesterday for the first time. They were thin chucks I think, put them on the second rack from the bottom on the grate. Smoke setting for 2 hours and bumped it up to 225 for 45 mins. finished off on the BBQ for a sear. They turned out very tender and smoky, but slightly overcooked. Next time will be about 15 mins at 225 for thin steaks. Maybe 30 mins for a thick steak, but I'd definitely use the probe for a thick steak.

Great plan, BigGunz357!

I have the same pit boss. Little tip. Set it max heat, and put your pan right on top of the fire box in the smoker. Manually feed your auger and it will keep a constant flame at the bottom. Same idea of 5 minutes a side and you will have what you are looking for 🤙

Nice! Thanks, Sam!

[@davidstenstrom6248]

Thanks for the help info

Any chance on getting the wife's recipe for her potato salad looked great.

[@rburn99]

still looking for that recipe?

[@Philm88]

It's been 2 years bud... not going to happen

[@canfts]

How about now?😂

[@lemuelbatesjr6519]

Yes

[@silasringo8465]

What time did u flip it?

[@PatrickSipperly]

I mentioned in the beginning I was going to cook it about 5 mins a side. My smoker wasn't hot enough and I needed to cook it longer. You situation may vary but about 5 mins a side at 400 degrees.

[@gigi9467]

So do you think this is a mor expensive way to cook a steak or using propane just as expensive?

[@johnmanthey2683]

I see you had your smoke cap pretty well screwed down. I cranked up my grill the other day to burn off after a cook and got an H2R read. You do a burn off or just a shut down? FYI: I have the series 3 like yours. Good looking steak.

[@PatrickSipperly]

Hey John! I'm may not understand your question. I usually turn the knob all the way to the left to "smoke" the last 5-10 minutes of the cook time. Then, hold the "on" button in till the digital numbers go out. 5 mins later the whole unit shuts off. After we're done eating the unit is usually cool enough to cover and put away. I hope that answers your question.

[@johnmanthey2683]

Patrick Sipperly does. I had a Series 5 Copperhead before. Sold it and got the 3 as it fits my needs better, living in an apartment wit a small patio. I the instruction book for the 5 it said to turn on high till it hits temp to burn off the excess grease etc. then to smoke for 5 minutes to stop pellets feeding in the firepower then Then push and hold till numbers shut off. The new manual says nothing about shutting the unit down. That’s why I asked is all. As an aside I did get a bottle of the PB cleaner. It does a real easy job on the door. I did a littl trick fro Louis Trim at R=Shack BBQ. I got a 4’ piece of 3/8” rebar cut into 3 shelf lengths and put that in the brackets. Got meat hooks from Gateway Pit Barrel Smokers and hang ribs. Thanks for the tips and videos. Oh yes. I have no room for the Austin XL but, I did get the Classic and added the side table to it. My little patio is pretty full. Thank you. .

@@johnmanthey2683 Sounds great!

[@targetoz5470]

Did the steak taste smokey??

[@PatrickSipperly]

Yes, it did!

[@targetoz5470]

@@PatrickSipperly I did the same, was the best tasting smoked steak in long while!!!!

[@sneakyblackdog]

Did you have water in the pan

[@PatrickSipperly]

Yes!

[@kevinmurphy3841]

I’m a zoni as well and really excited about getting a series 4 vertical smoker !!!

[@PatrickSipperly]

I think you'll like it! Here are some new units from Pit Boss if you're interested: pitbossgrills.77jaha.net/MqynJ

Just bought a Pitboss 5 Series. Love it.

[@meangene8437]

How do I make the potato salad?

[@PatrickSipperly]

That is a great question, Gene. Let me talk to my wife about that...

[@meangene8437]

Ok thanks

[@ikhelm1]

mmmm....steak!!!!

[@PatrickSipperly]

Amen!

[@crawdaddct]

Will have to give this a try. Love cooking with cast iron, but wife complains when I smoke up the house with it. Hard to beat ribeye off the Blackstone griddle, but I like a light smoky flavor on steaks at times. Will experiment some. Thanks for the idea.

[@PatrickSipperly]

Terrific! Let us know how things turn out!

[@ronmaxwell6972]

Would like to see a "How to Cook" with the vertical. And how easy or hard it is to maintain temp. I am interested in Buying one now. I would like to see you smoke a good size Brisket or say several Chicken Breast and if it can be done all at the same time? What about smoking a 10lbs turkey. Or even two 10 lb Turkeys. Great videos.....Thanks!

[@PatrickSipperly]

Hey Ron, thanks for the ideas. I got my vertical smoker after Thanksgiving, so we smoked our turkey in my Austin XL. I've smoked steaks, salmon, chicken, meatloaf, and more. Here's a playlist of several of my vertical smoker videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLIhcZSuKDL1RXjelgk6lWRG-y9SW4FGWc

[@ramellin]

Damn it’s still moving

[@PatrickSipperly]

Yeah, I had to finish it off in the skillet. I hope you watched the whole video to get that part.

[@pedronunez4566]

You never said how long to leave it to cook on both side 😐 .?????????? If this is your second time give us some better info dont you think ?

[@PatrickSipperly]

Uh, Pedro, I mentioned how long each side twice. Once about 1:00 and again about 5:48...

[@Gendo3s2k]

This is probably THE WORST way to cook a steak...

[@SmokinOak]

You must have missed the part where the whole purpose of the video was to answer the question of whether or not it could be done. Short answer is, Yes. ... And your comment isn't even accurate. You should do a search for a video on boiling a steak and place your comment there because... That is probably THE WORST way to cook a steak...

Stick with it came out perfect if you didn't support Trump

What does that have to do with anything? Who gives a fuck what he votes for? Why does it bother you? We’re talking about me not you sucking on it.
