Show Us Your Meat, and We'll Show You Ours

[Sully]

So pulled the trigger on that pellet grill. For $20 less than the propane smoker I was guna buy, figured I'd give it a shot. I'm sure it's not as fancy as the top tier ones but it looks like it's built pretty decent. I'm a little confused by the smoke setting though. Manual says(can be adjusted) that the smoke setting is around 160-180 degrees. So is it not really giving a good dose of smoke at 225 were you cook most things? I mean when I smoke on the grill, it smokes at the 225. I've read that the meat doesn't really get anymore of the smoke once it's gets to a certain temp but I always cook at 220-240. When I go to cook on this, do I use the smoke setting first? Do I just get it warmed up on that and then just run at 225 and it'll cook and smoke like normal? The manual doesn't have much depth so I guess I'll try Google of no one can help here. Idk if anyone else has a pellet grill besides evan
