Pellet Grill Holiday Recipes

Holiday Smoker Recipes are a favorite of mine! Probably is no surprise, but any time I can use my smoker for cooking, I do! Making the main meat course is almost always a given at my house.
It doesn’t matter the smoker; you have to smoke with. I am in love with the Pit Boss Pro 1100 Series from Lowes. I upgraded, but I still use my Smoke Hollow vertical smoker and my Smoke Chief Cold Smoker. Personally, I l love to do a cold smoke on the meat with a slow and long smoke on the meat.
Money and time-saving tips from the old lady. If you order pellets online from Walmart and spend $35, they will drop them off at your door for free!! Their everyday price on pit boss pellets is amazing, plus the expert grill brand has a great price. (see them ->here)

The main entree is almost always one I smoke. During the holiday season, I tend to buy extra prime ribs, hams, and turkeys so we can have a big holiday dinner just because later in the year. They never fail to disappoint at any time of the year.
