Sizzling Secrets: Mastering the Art of BBQ on Your Pellet Smoker
Hey, grill gurus and BBQ enthusiasts! Who doesn't love the sizzle and aroma of a perfectly grilled steak on a summer day?
The history of food smoking is as ancient as the discovery of fire itself. When Spanish explorers arrived in the New World, they encountered natives using a cooking method that involved slow-cooking meat over an indirect flame or in a pit. The Spanish called this method "barbacoa," which is likely the origin of the word "barbecue."
Now, here's a quirky question for you: ever wondered how to achieve BBQ nirvana with a pellet smoker?
Well, saddle up because we've got the lowdown on BBQ perfection, brought to you by the folks at Budget Stockfeeds and Outdoor in Mornington – your go-to family-operated haven for all things grilling.

As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. BBQ perfection is no exception. The Oklahoma Joe's Pellet Grill allows you to embrace the low and slow method, coaxing out the flavours in an infusion of smoke and heat before cranking up the temperature to create that perfectly seared steak.
Firstly, set the temperature to 200 degrees F and wait for the grill to heat up. Place your steak on the top rack and insert the probe, setting the probe at the pit to 188 degrees F. Kick back, and let the pellet smoker work its magic. When ready, it is time to turn this baby into "sear mode", and when heated, place the steak onto the sear grill for 1-2 min each side to turn the steak perfectly brown.
Now it is time to rest the meat, and while you wait, resist the temptation to constantly check on your steak. Trust the process, and your patience will be rewarded with a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. It's not just a steak; it's a work of art, courtesy of your newfound BBQ skills.
