Asking the meat manager at the grocery store to get you a cut works. If you invite them over for/bring them barbecue it usually makes the “specialty” cuts start appearing. Great lookin ribs from grand western!

Awesome video mate, new follower here, stumbled upon your page researching the Pit boss.

Of course they are loaded with flavour, the meat shrank to half the size instantly doubling the flavor that remained : ] Seriously though... once they came out of the package you could tell that was going to be a special meal ! Great looking cook Mike !

You are right, Bubba! They “reduced down” like a nice wine sauce leaving behind only the most pure beefy goodness. The marbling was the best I’ve seen on a rack of beef ribs.🤤

Mike, Totally off topic, but you have like a screen for your fence in your backyard now....what is it and where did you get it? Also, same question about your patio cover. Is it a kit, with the 4x4s and brackets, or just the brackets? Just askin

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi, Owen. The patio cover is made by a company called Toja Grid. If you look back at one of my first videos I did a review of it. The Trellis I made myself. It is three pressure treated 4x4's that I wrapped in Cedar. In-between the posts I took garden fence and framed it in cedar... and then attached it to the posts.

Dont cut it next time.. Thats why the bones separated .. also use olive oil as a binder ..and try smoking them at 250F for 6-8 hours unwrapped and youll get an awesome bark on those ..

[@daltonshimerda4007]

Every time I cook anything on my series 5 copperhead smoker it take way to long. I cooked pork ribs last night and it took every bit of 9 hours to be done. What am I doing wrong? The smoker is brand new and it is keeping at a good temperature in the smoker

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Dalton, couple questions: what temperature are you setting your smoker to and do you have a way to verify that the smoker is at the temperature you set? Without knowing the details it sounds like you are either cooking at too low of a temperature or the smoker is not cooking at the temperature it is supposed to.

[@chriskraft5880]

I have found on my CH5 that it runs anywhere from 30-70* lower than what it is set at. I have meat thermometer with 6 probes and run one for smoker temp and it always shows low. Grab a meat thermometer with several probes and keep an eye on all of your temps(smoker and meat).

[@Just8Ate]

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you! If you ever do need to order meat online, I highly recommend this company. The quality is second to none. :)

[@jtfisrtbuild947]

So quick question after you are done smoking and there is more pellets left in the hoper how do you get them out to change to different pellets ?

[@BRCollector]

After you turn the PitBoss off it runs for about another 10 minutes without dispensing new pellets to burn them to ash

[@artalamoc]

there is a clean out door at rear of the smoker, open slowly and have a 5 gallon bucket to catch the pellets as they fall out, they all don't fall out you need a long stick to push out the last couple of handful. the hopper has a view glass on one side to show how many pellets left in the hopper. The pellets that are in the auger cylinder about a handful, you will not get out, those will have to be burn away on the next time you cook

[@BladePressure]

Smoker noob. I’m looking at getting a Pit Boss. I have been watching your vids and notice that you are not using the “smoke” setting, but rather kind of baking the meats. Is there a reason you don’t “smoke” more? Or maybe do smoke for like 30 minutes then raise the temp? Thanks!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hey Ryan! You can definitely do that and add a ton more smoke flavor. The reason I don’t do it more is because my family and friends don’t care for the stronger smoke flavor. They prefer a hint of smoke and I’m ok with that too. But if I am cooking just for me I’ll put it on the smoke setting for the first hour and then crank it up. Have fun with it and make it the way you like it 😎

[@MelkorHimself]

I have a Camp Chef pellet smoker, which also has low smoke and high smoke settings. Technically, you get smoke at any temperature because you're burning wood pellets. However, on the high smoke setting in particular it lets the pellets smolder longer and tries to keep the temperature hovering around 220F, but it can swing 20 degrees in either direction. On a normal temperature setting the computer keeps the setpoint within 5 degrees of the target. If you want to add more smoke at any setting, buy a smoke tube. You fill it with pellets and light the end on fire. Wait until it extinguishes by itself (though still emitting smoke) and place inside the smoker.

[@davidwebb3813]

Just got a pit boss 4 smoker. How do you get the thick smoke at temperatures from 200 to 250? TY

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi David. The thick smoke isn’t constant. It seems to pump out the thick smoke in intervals... maybe every 10 to 15 minutes. If you want a stronger smoke flavor you can use hickory or mesquite pellets, don’t wrap your meat in foil or paper at all, and turn your chimney cap down so the smoke doesn’t escape as easily.

[@davidwebb3813]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ ok I was thinking about setting it to smoke when I first put the meat in for 15 to 30 minutes like you did in one of your videos. I smoke a small brisket the other day has a good smoke ring. But not a smokey taste like I like. Lol

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

David webb that actually does work really good. I would put it on the smoke setting for an hour if you like it more Smokey. I would actually do that more often but when I’m filming the cooks, it adds a lot more time because I’m opening the door a lot so people can see what’s happening and that extra hour in the beginning makes for a really long day 😁.

[@1pacot23]

had you had any issue with the smoker ? do you recommend?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

I really enjoy this smoker. After about 6 months my controller stopped working which was a bummer because I was midway through a cook. I sent their tech support an email and they had me do some simple troubleshooting and determined that I needed a new controller. They shipped it out a few days later and I’ve been good ever since.
