    Nice! I would eat that thing you made. I've never done a full turkey. Maybe I can find one cheap this week to freeze.

    My turkey was a hit as well. I would have made it SLIGHTLY less salty than it came out if I had it to do over. It tasted very much like ham, to be honest. A big hit nonetheless.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    I hate using their pellets anymore. So much more ash than other types.

    True that...always bad with the good...I fabbed an ash tent over my Amazin Smoker tray...seems to help keep the ash down,especially when you have increased your airflow thru the unit...

    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.


    That's a steal on that!! I snagged one a little over a week ago and I've cooked on it every day but 2(because I was at work) since I got it. I paid $625 for mine which was still a good deal IMO, I got the rib racks, cover, digital thermo, and two bags of pellets. Just did country ribs yesterday and they were epic.

    Pics? I usually add chips about every hour. I just wait for the smoke coming out to thin a bit. As far as how hot and times. It can very greatly. Baby back ribs 225°/7-8 hours. Just did a fatty a couple weeks ago,, 300°/5-6 hours (all pork) It all depends on the flavor you're trying to get and how much patience you have.

    So do u fill the tray inside first then just add some of what? My manual days 1/4 cup at a time
    Which doesn't seem much. Seems it lasts about 35-45 min at 180 degrees. Doing jerky right now.

    Mine has a drawer on the side. I load it by: filling the drawer, push in, and twist. The chips drop into the burn pan. I wait until it's almost to temp. Add the chips, when I have smoke the food goes in:hungry:

    I just got one this past month for my bday as well! And just found this thread..

    Smoked 3 racks of pork ribs in it (had to half each rack to fit though, unsure on weight), used hickory wood chips but my smoker wouldnt quite get up to temp like i had wanted. It would only get about 200* but it was probably 30* outside. Ended up in there for 6 hours or so though and still turned out great. They just werent fall off the bone which was a disappointment, water was kept full and chips were added twice.
