Holding Brisket - I'm not to smart sometimes Fast Eddys

[tenphases]

I have been looking for the best way to hold my briskets cause I follow every trend and at least try it once. In the meanwhile, I realized that being able to hold a brisket for a long time is practical. My PBC, Hasty Bake, Blackstone, and Assassin Gravity fed get most of the use in my world but the pellet rocks for convenience and it's just a great cooker.

Anyway, I bought a turkey roaster and tried a bunch of other ways to get a good holding box for my cooks. Then my Cookshack went down and I had to replace the motor and the igniter. Upon getting to work I realized, that I forgot, that it has a huge warmer box that can hold 145 with almost no pellet consumption 😂 the good news is now I have a turkey roaster, bad news, I feel like a dumba$$. 😂

It can hold 150??

My pellet on it's lowest is too hot for me, no warming box.

The FE has multiple temp zones, I was really intrigued by it but then decided I'm not smart enough to remember how to deal with 4 temp zones. My old MAK could hold 160-170 year round my newer SS one likes to run 180-200 on the low mode during the summer anyway. I still haven't seen anyone review the cold smoke feature on the LSG which I assume is probably just a fan mode for a pellet tube but might actually augment itself to run sub 175?

I felt the same way, what I didn't realize about those 4 zones is that it's only 3 when you're cooking at 325 or below. At that temp, the top and bottom racks run the same. So the 10 inches to the far left is the hot and really hot zone the rest is uniform. Once I realized this it was a game changer! 3 pork butts on the bottom a brisket up top all at 300, a chicken or two above the charbroiler at 420, and 5 burgers on the charbroiler at 500 all at once, it's great!!

The warming box runs about 100/125 less than the main chamber so if I'm running around 250 I can keep it in the warmer no prob, very little consumption in the 200's

My Traeger low is 165

On the Pg 1000 it's 170 but the warming box runs about 100 less so if the main chamber is 240 I get 140 in the warming box, pellet consumption isn't to bad cause the 1000 is fully insulated

Warming drawer on on oven gets down to 120°

I wish mine did…170° is as low as it goes.

My Yoder YS480 will go down to 150. Running grate level temps, this stays pretty close and I have used it as a warming oven. The Camp Chef Smoke Vault will do it, too, but I've got to prop the door open a hair to get it below 170 or so. Not such a big deal, but if there's any wind, it'll blow open or closed and screw things up. I need to make some kind of contraption to get the door to stay open 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", whichever it needs for current conditions.
