NFT: Review of the Meadow Creek PR36 Smoker/Grill

fell into the coals last weekend in my PBC. I had it hung properly and it just ripped apart and fell in. I was so pissed.

BBQ is a funny thing. People have their preferences. I used to use a similar type of smoker to the one you show in the pic. I also used the barrel type. Maintaining an even and consistent temp (especially all night when cooking a brisket) got very old for me and took much of the fun out of it.

A couple of years ago I tried meat cooked on a Masterbuilt electric smoker in Kansas City. That was my holy shit moment and I got one at Sams club when they had a ridiculous sale.

I can set the temp for as many hours as I want. I can load whatever type of wood chips I want into it. I can adjust the moisture which is tough to do on a traditional smoker. It has bluetooth technology and I can change the temp and check the internal temp of the meat (has a meat probe) with my phone.

The smoke intensity is also there. In fact, I often have to stop adding the wood chips because the smoke flavor can get too intense.

Anyway, that is just my feedback and experience. Nobody's method is better than the next guy. All that counts is the final product. If you know what you are doing, you can achieve those results no matter what kind of smoker you have.

Bummer -- that sometimes happens when you over-peel the back silverskin membrane -- or if there was a cut/gash on the bone side
against the bone

Thought the thread title was Review of the Meadow Creek Smoke Girl.

Not the pic I was expecting :(
