Title: REVISED: Back in the Saddle with Smoked Lemon Pepper Wings (TESTING IMGUR)
Post by: UWFSAE on January 08, 2018, 10:16:38 PM
RETEST USING IMGUR

Well, the new Blaz'n Grill Works Grid Iron was properly burned in and I did a bacon cook last night to iron out some hotspots.  A new Fireboard is en route so I can get everything dialed in but "right out of the box" its turning out some very nice food.

I did a quick two-hour marinade for a pack of wings; lemon juice, lemon pepper, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little drizzle of honey.

Moved the wings into a 190° smoker over BBQ'ers Delight Hickory for 30 minutes, then bumped it to 350 for 25 minutes with a light re-seasoning of lemon pepper.

A flip for another 20 minutes, then pulled out of the smoker.  Finished them with a light drizzle of honey.

Great smoke flavor, though I look forward a lighter mix with some fruitwood flavor from the CookinPellets Perfect Mix.  Good crunch (though the wings at the rear of the smoker ended up a little more crisp than I'd like) and tons of smoke flavor.  Citrus kick up front cut with the sweetness from the honey.  All in all, I'm pleased with the first cook on the Blaz'n.  I'll be posting a full Blaz'n Grid Iron review soon; I'm using this post primarily as a guinea pig for Imgur embedding.

Yup.  I can see them on all my devices.  I think because my google account is linked on my iPhone, tablet, laptop, and PC it allows me to see the embedding.  I’m going back to the drawing board ...

I'm sure (from your description) they tasted great.
Just can't tell how they look.  ;D ;D

Wow, does that food look great. I like the extra rack option you got for your pit.

Wendy says I can get a "good" pellet grill when my SS kicks in. So I gotta ways but the more I research Blazin, the more I like what I see.

Wings look great! I guess I am going to have to break out the checkbook and get those racks for my Grid Iron! Those look great!

Very Nice!  I am liking Imgur but don't like that photos default to Public and get commented on, etc.

@ smokeasaurus:  The Blaz'n products seem to hit all the high notes; the only thing I wish they'd add is a pellet dump chute.  Everything else is well thought out and the expanded rack system is top notch.

@ highonsmoke:  The pro shelves about as well built as I could ask for.  All that space was the biggest selling point for me ... I'm hoping to do a big sparerib cook once I get the controller dialed in with my new Fireboard. 

@ sliding_billy:  Yeah, Imgur wasn't my first choice for that very reason; I don't plan on putting any photos on there that have any real personal markers or content, just BBQ pics.  That being said, it's super easy to use and ... free.

You would think the pellet chute would be a no brainer for Blazin to include. Maybe in future models.

I love imgur. You can create albums and set the privacy of your pictures. No big deal.

As for the wings, I LOVE the color you got on them, I can only imagine how good they tasted. Nice job!
