    Hello From Nor Cal

    While I have been grilling on a gas grill for years, I just ordered my first pellet grill, a Weber SmokeFire. One thing I would like to do on it is to make jerky. I am looking at various racks to purchase. But, I have become a bit confused. You have your stainless steel racks, steel racks coated with a non-stick surface, you have simple bar rack and expanded steel grates. Does anyone have any suggestions on which would work best?

    Welcome to the Pit from a NorCal escapee now living in the Okanogan Valley of Washington state. My preference is SS, but I don't use pellets.

    Along with tips, techniques, and recipes about BBQ we have a lot of fun.

    If you like music, go to this thread to hear what others are listening to and share what you like.

    For jokes, go to this thread.

    And here to enjoy some beautiful sunsets.

    Go to this thread to post where you work and what your hobbies are and get to know other members here.

    We are happy to have you along and looking forward to your participation.

                        Welcome from SoCal.

                        As for the jerky? I’m not help. LOL Perhaps frog mats might be worth a look.
                        BUT regardless...I would ask this in one of the “Food” or “Cooker” channels because you’re much more likely to get help with that. Not everyone checks the “Introduce Yourself” channel, but almost everyone hits up the various Food & Equipment channels.

                          Welcome from TN. +1 on what surfdog said about the racks. Please make sure to post pics of the SmokeFire when you get it - maybe I can tell my wife "See, that guy got one and he looks happy. Don't you want me to be happy???" Probably won't work, but what the heck.

                              The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


                              Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative.

                              Grilla Pellet Smoker proves good things come in small packages

                              We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5″ x 29.5″ footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.

                              Built around SnS Grill’s patented Slow ‘N Sear charcoal kettle accessory, this 22-inch kamado is a premium ceramic grill that brings true 2-zone cooking to a kamado.

                              Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


                              This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp’s dial from 175° to 350°F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin’.

                              Winner of the National BBQ Association’s product of the year award. This 8.5″ x 11″ magnet contains more that 80 benchmark temperatures for meats (both USDA recommended temps as well as the temps chefs recommend), fats and oils, sugars, sous vide, eggs, collagens, wood combustion, breads, and more. Although it is not certified as all-weather, we have tested it outdoors in Chicago weather and it has not delaminated in three years, but there is minor fading.

                              The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                              The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
