The last couple of weeks I first gained back most of the weight I lost in week 1, then stayed the same week 3. On Monday I started OMAD and it has been going well. Its after 4pm here and I last ate at 4pm yesterday and I am not ready to break my fast, but I have about 3 lbs of bacon in the oven for today and the next week for side dishes. I also just purchased a Zgrills pellet smoker and I put it together today and I am doing the initial burn off right now. I have 2 3+lb chuck roasts I am going to smoke starting early tomorrow morning. I am planning on meal prepping using the smoker to make large quantities of meat so I will have enough for many days worth of meals. I am excited about the smoker, I have never smoked anything before but I could use a new hobby.

As a side note I went to an amazing concert on Tuesday night! Ben Fuller, Leanna Crawford, We the Kingdom and Zach Williams headlining. What a fantastic show! God has been really good to me lately.

I was not a fan of my son's pellet smoker when he first got it but it grew on me and now is sort of a got to for butts/roasts etc.

Anything bigger it is the pig cooker and the fire barrel.

I also will throw something extra on the grill when cooking to have for the following couple-three days. It helps me out a lot on the busy days between shift work and rushing home to feed all the animals in the dark.

You are busy !

I love smoking meats. I’m old fashioned and use what we refer to as a stick burner, also known as an offset smoker. I modified mine earlier this year when I installed a new fire box and turned it into a reverse flow. As I’m typing this I’ve got two tri tips and three racks of baby back ribs on it.

Let us know how those chuck roasts came out.

The roasts came out great! I cooked them to 204 degrees so they turned out like briskets. I had some plain the first day, in scrambled eggs yesterday and I am planning on making a soup with some today.

We cook on wood most of the time. The pellet grill has grown on my but I'm still a wood guy at heart.

We do chuck roasts and London broils similar to brisket and they turn out super. We have two London broils going for Football Sunday in the cabin.

Nothing like wood cooked food.

I chose a pellet smoker for ease and convenience as it is my first smoker. It was super easy, I am looking forward to doing wings and Turkey as well. Smoked is the only way I have ever really enjoyed turkey, my uncle usually smokes one for Thanksgiving.

I think that is why it has grown on me. It is easy quick and convenient.
