Title: Second cook- chicken breast
Post by: Lemonhead78 on January 01, 2019, 05:19:49 PM
2 for 2 so far because I loved both meals now off the mak. These were cooked at 250 for about 2 and a half hours. I layered them with killer hogs a.p seasoning and than sprinkled with my homemade Memphis dust. I basted with a Carolina vinegar sauce every half hour. I supplemented extra smoke with an amazin tube. Used hickory. Served with rice and pineapple salsa.

NICE!

Just curious why you used the amazin tube? At 250 the MAK still smokes great.

Your right about that. I won’t use it next time. I’m still learning the grill

You will often hear - especially from folks that are new to pellet cooking - that they do not think the pellet grill gives them enough of a smoke profile...That is because of 2 things that come to mind:

1. Their tastebuds have adjusted to a heavier smoke ( too much to most experienced cooks) that predominates the flavors of the meat and prep. No right or wrong here...just a natural progression thru experience that most figure out after they want o stop belching smoke and having the aftertaste of a creosote fence post in their mouth :D :D :D.

2. We are all different as humans. So - it figures that our abilities and sensitivities to taste and smell ( inter-connected ) can be different from person to person. Just like a person that has been a tobacco smoker for years - then quits...will tell you that they can't believe how much more they now have increased their ability to taste and smell. There are other reasons - such as trauma via injury or surgery that damages smell/taste, certain childhood diseases has been known to affect our senses as well. In other words, when it comes to how much or little smoke is "good"...Your mileage may vary ;)

MAK has the best controller I have ever used for producing "good" smoke. I think of good smoke as that nice blue-gray color, and not white ( creosote flavor...) smoke. It allows you to determine the intensity of the smoke by the temp - and the amount of smoke via the smoke setting. Something about their programming just ...works so well.
