First Cook on Silverbac

[jlazar]

Just did a seasoning burn and first cook on new Silverbac. Used B&B Championship blend ($17 for 40# at Academy). Used Pro (variable) vs PID mode to maximize smoke.

Picked chicken for first cook so I could try more than one recipe and cook at more than one temperature. Cooked Teriyaki Chicken Breasts, Scotch Eggs, Bacon and Chicken Kabobs, and Chicken Wings.

Started cook at 225 with just the breast, eggs and kabobs. After about 75 minutes, raised the smoker to 375 (only took about 10 minutes to go up) and added the wings. About 15 min later, pulled the breasts (at IT 160) and the eggs. Left kabobs on to crisp the bacon. Cooked another 20-25 minutes (flipping once) and then removed.

Very impressed with how even the heat was across the grate. Smoke flavor was typical of a pellet smoker. Am going to compare using CookinPellets Perfect Mix and a 100% Hickory pellet. Very impressed with operation of controller and responsiveness of smoker. Wifi application worked very well (felt like using a Fireboard).

Would highly recommend this pellet smoker. (I have a lot of experience using a Yoder 640).

I'd like a Grilla for single occupant meals.

I love my SilverBac also, they're a great machine. Your grill must have been loaded. I run at 180*F for the first 30 minutes for a little more smoke the turn it up to 225*F to finish off the cook. We think this works better than picking mode 2. Then I throw it on the GrillGrates or pull out my torch for the reverse sear. You'll have lots of fun with it.

[jlazar]

I only used the main grate. I did four different things but not in great quantities. I will try starting at 180.

I am a Grilla fan. Since I got the Bronco the Chimp hasn't gotten much love. Going to have to change that. Where are the pics though? Did this really happen?

[jlazar]

I uploaded again. Hopefully, you can see them now.

(Continued) Put on a cooking mat or cooling rack and place on smoker. You want a smaller grid than the normal grill grate. Smoke at 225 for about an hour. You want the sausage IT to be 160-165. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. If refrigerated, cut into quarters and put in microwave for 45-90 seconds depending on your wattage. Can also be eaten cold if out camping or walking.

Thanks "jlazar" on the Scotch Eggs info

also found this ----> https://meatwave.com/recipes/smoked-...e-sauce-recipe

wag Looks good but I think the sausage layer would be too thin. One pound for 4 eggs didn't work for me. That is why I am going to change to 3 eggs. These things are intended to be a meal by themselves.

jlazar, Everything looks perfect. Well done… You know what I mean.

Congrats, good job.

Breasts boneless-skinless?

[jlazar]

Yes, boneless and skinless. Just marinated in Kikoman Teriyaki for 4 hours, No basting once cook started. Came out very moist.
