I am on overkill with the grills/smokers - my wife thinks i am addicted
I have a Phoenix gas grill ( the company i work for had a steep discount with them, they stopped right after covid)
a traeger wood pellet grill/smoker
A masterbuilt wood chip smoker
A masterbuilt Electric Pellet smoker (got it from work as an anniversary present)
and recently bought a Ninja woodfire grill/pellet smoker combo
for convenience - I have been using the ninja woodfire lately, and i like it.
it does cook a little faster and you get a semi smoke ring but it does flavor the food quite well.
Its never gonna replace a true smoker, but for theease of use and the easy cleanup, i am not gonna compain.
I also inject , have bluetooth thermometers and cook to temp (ALWAYS)
gonna smoke this saturday for our meal prep for the next few weeks
Chicken Breasts
Chicken thighs
Tilapia
Veggies Squash - zucchinis, peppers, corn on the cob
and some Steaks or Pork chops for dinner Saturday night
I have apple, cherry, charcoal, Hickory & Alder pellets to Experiment with.
I am on call and will be trapped at the house anyway, might as well do something productive.
I slow smoked a 10 lb shoulder to make some Pulled pork a few weeks ago and it was flamez.
