Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

It's pretty much set it and forget it. It has a water pan that I usually add to about every two hours. Otherwise I don't mess with it.

I use an oven thermometer in there and usually run it at the 250 setting to maintain a constant 225. The learning curve was to ignore the digital read out that showed these crazy temp swings. It heats up when it adds pellets and then cools down and repeats. A standard home oven does the same thing we just don't see the temp gauge showing that. Putting the oven thermometer in there tells me it's staying 225 despite what's happening with the pellets.

I can set it and go about chores etc and not worry. I wouldn't pull an @Misplaced Nebraskan and mow the yard (too afraid the meat would taste like grass) Haha

 

This looks interesting. They want $100 obo for it.

 

Sorry for the late reply. Not awful, but there are some places where meat hides in the chamber. Takes a good hot scrub to get it all out. Course then there is hot melted fat going down the drain.
Yes, it is heavy. I dented the new stainless steel sink when the auger fell.....

 

So You can smell the chickens smokin' down on Copperhead row?

 

I always assume that first picture is what it looks like when you roll up next to Snoop Dogs car.

 

doesnt look like it has any temp controls? I wouldnt mess with it if it doesnt...

 

I'd ride with Snoop! Need a few more chickens tho!

I think it's whiskey you're smelling on Copperhead Road!

 

Seems like its similar to one of the little chief smokers. Low temp and mainly good for fish.

I’m not all that interested just thought it was interesting.

Wish it would get that cheap here. Would go pick some up. Need to just get a case from Sams. About as cheap as it gets here.

 

during christmas new years they had them marked down to like 40c a lb here in south texas. was nuts, it was like 12lb roast was 7 bucks.
