Huskee -Thanks, this was easier than I thought. I am looking forward to many great cooks and documenting them here. Also, getting brand specific advice will be nice!
Since this is my fist pellet grill (I have a PBC and Weber Summit Gaser) I have just been visiting Amazon and already have my Christmas list going. Looking forward to learning how to get the best food from this cooker.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Aside from the usual BBQ and grilling foods (meats) that you'd typically associate with a pellet cooker, I like to encourage folks to think a little outside the box. Pellet cookers are quite delicate with the smoke flavor they impart, so use that to your culinary advantage. Try baking your lasagna on it, or your pizza. Bake your frozen fries, your veggies, your biscuits, etc, in it. Anything you can or would do in your indoor oven, try it on your pellet cooker. You just might be surprised at the wonderful twist this puts on such things.
Funny, it is that delicate smoke that appealed to me. I like smoke, however my wife is not a fan (PBC too much smoke for her) So, I am hoping that the PBP (Pit Boss Pellet) will be a good compromise. If not, then I do multiple cooks, (grilled chicken for her and pulled pork for me) We all win.
Huskee, PBC beef back ribs are her favorite, but the rest she is just OK with. She is not picky, but the smoke profile is not just is not her jam. I like that challenge, to find something we both can really enjoy so a subtle smoke profile is what I am after. After 30 years of her putting up with me, it is the least I can do.
