Hello all

I want to introduce myself to this great group. I am Sal from New Jersey.
I decided to get into pellet grill smoking and grilling. First question I have
For you guys is about smoking ribs or brisket , etc, how is the smoke , do we get that thin
Blue smoke like we look for. My buddy has a traeger and it doesn't really give out
Any smoke for long periods of time, it is more like once in a while. That's not what I'm looking for I want to be able to control how much smoke time I put into my cooks. Any info you guys can give me
Would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Sal. I have a PG500 and I do ribs all the time. The smoke is very light coming from my pellet grill. If you want more smoke I suggest using a pellet smoker tube.

Welcome Sal! Be sure to check out the 101's. They are on the main cookshack website or in this forum under each category. Is Brisket, ribs, etc. they will get you on the right path.

Top of the topic list is LhT/HHT 101 by Nordy. He gives a good explanation of the settings.
I've never over smoked food in my FEPG and like the level of smoke. On the other hand, I have eaten my share of over smoked food from other types of smokers. Personally, I don't mess with the LHT/HHT.

Welcome to the forum.

Some folks will cook at lower temps for a period of time, at lower temps the pellets seem to smolder/smoke more.

The PG grills work on a different controller than the treager grills, which in my opinion, this helps PG's give out more smoke.

With that all said, you'll not get a heavy smoke flavor with the pellet grills, which is fine with me. Heavy smoke gives me heartburn.
