First cook on new to me 1500

[Ron F]

Greetings from new user!

Just picked up a 14 year old 1500 in great shape. I’m a long time weber bullet smoker but like the ease of electric and needed something for large batches of smoked salmon.

Just did a tri tip with a garlic and fresh herb rub. 2hrs at 215 to get to 130 followed by a sear on 500 degree gas grill. Turned out really good but I think it was a choice cut so not as tender as I wanted.

I can tell I’m going love this smoker.. just got find a source for more racks that aren’t $50 each.

Since the racks are stainless steel, you only have to buy them once in your lifetime. $50 well spent.
I bought a used 1400 on a cart for $150 and had to buy all the racks plus a thermostat but it was totally worth it.
