Brisket moisture test

Why do people slice a brisket through the point and the flat on a brisket and then squeeze to show the deckle oozing out? You would have to really really over cook a brisket to make it dry there. Squeeze your brisket on the flat and see if you have moisture there

Smoked salmon with smoked cheese appetizers

Smoked salmon from the other night!

Salmon coated with key lime juice, then seasoned with 2 Gringos Chupacabra Cluckalicious and Mango Habanero seasonings, and finally coated in olive oil. Smoked over mesquite for 2 hours at 180° before turning the heat up to 350° to finish it off. Served with cheese ravioli and a butter bechamel sauce also seasoned with Mango Habanero seasoning.

Smoked some cream cheese and bree cheese seasoned with Ribnoxious for an appetizer.

Everything came out sooooooo goooood!

Pit Boss

I just purchased a pit Boss sportsman 850. When I plugged it in. What sounds like a fan came on almost right away. I then did a burn at 500 and then hit the power button and that sound is still there.

I can imagine a fan running potentially after being turned off but it had run right away.

It does not look like the pellets are on fire and the auger is not putting pellets in. It sounds like a running fan.

Is this normal? Will it turn off at some point? Should I leave the grill? Unplugged?

First pellet grill, thanks for your help.

In the market for my first pellet grill (used). Which would you take for $200. Both seem to be in good working condition.

Camp chef pursuit back burns

My camp chef pursuit has always started to back burn up the auger at about the 3 to 4 hour mark of a smoke. Any ideas guys? I've gutted it cleaned it crazy the vents at the back aren't blocked it did need a sheer pin once. I've tried lots of brand pellets gmg lumberjack etc all do the same. The fire pot fills and it starts going up the auger. Could it be the fan or just a shit unit?
