Just got a new smoker and its a whole thing

19h ago·1 min read

Been researching this for like a year and finally pulled the trigger on a decent pellet grill. Spent all Saturday learning how to use it, did my first brisket attempt and honestly it came out pretty good. Everyone at the house ate it so that's a win. Now I'm obsessed and researching rubs and techniques. This hobby is definitely going to cost me money but my family will eat well so they can't complain too much.

Pellet grills are the gateway drug to weekend cooking for sure. Once you get comfortable with it you'll be firing it up every weekend, trust me. How'd your first cook turn out?

A whole year of research and then finally pulling the trigger - that's the move right there. Those first cook days are so satisfying, wait till you nail your technique and start experimenting with different meats.

This is the kind of hobby that actually makes sense as a dad. You get to smoke something delicious and your family benefits. Win win.

A year of research and then pulling the trigger is exactly how it should be done. Pellet grill is the way to go too. Low and slow is the whole philosophy. Welcome to the club man.

The first cook on a new grill hits different. Don't overthink it. Get some good meat, set your temp, and just let it ride. You're gonna love having something that's yours on the weekends.
