    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    So the saga with Steve and Smokin It continues. I waited 3 days every day for Steve to have the smoker picked up on his fedex call tag. For 3 days i postponed my plans to make sure Fedex got the smoker and after notifying him 3 times, they finally did on the 3rd day. He got the smoker back...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    My dealings with Steve were not pleasant. I also felt like I was put in the idiot zone because my smoker did not work well for me. In addition, I dont think the work with what you got applies here. I spent nearly $900 with accessories and shipping to have two smokers with inconsistent temp and...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    So i bit the bullet today and bought an Amerique by Cookshack. I have an older viking grill, which I regret not realizing there are pellet grills, so I did not get the Yoder. The Amerique hold feature sold me - it would be awesome to finish cooking and holding temp until guest arrive. I am going...

    I give Steve credit for the refund. After that experience, he was the one that offered it. He seemed more concerned that I pack it well vs really anything else. When i could not remove the wheels from the units because of the stripped wrenches and there being no space for a normal wrench to go...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I had about 8 cooks on two units and both machines had terrible temp control for me. I could not find a wrench that slim on Amazon or locally so i gave up trying to tighten it all the way. The tilt looked funny, but I did not care as much as having quality food for guests. From my experience I...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    There are a lot of #3 fans there and when I first got it I was pumped as well. I bought some books spent countless hours on forums and youtube. The thing looks great. My temp never went well. I have bought two maverick temp wireless controls a black and white one so i can see 3 different meat...

    Thanks for the reply guys! I am sure Steve is a nice guy and all, but in my situation it was not as pleasant. The replacement model he stated would ship did not until one week later after I checked tracking and notified Steve that it was not delivered. After the replacement arrived, which did...

    Pellet vs Electric

    Thanks David,  I guess adding more smoker boxes will help, but wondering if it is worth getting a pellet grill or just focusing on a better electric smoker. I got a viking grill for dirt cheap and the thing works but propane is bland.  Do you have a pellet smoker/grill?

    Pellet vs Electric

    Hi Guys, Probably raised before, but i got a smokin it #3 and the thing wont go above 180 degrees. Not too happy and i am within the return window.    Do pellet smokers/grills produce as much smoke? Should i jump to pellet while i have the chance? Mainly for RIBs, but also would love to do...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Steve was supposed to send a replacement smoker last Tuesday. Gave me a tracking number, but looks like the unit did not ship out! There was also an issue with the door getting jammed on the drip rail and would not open. So that is why he was replacing it.Even though it did not ship and he did...

    What did the owner tell you? He told me this is common and is because of the BTUs being pulled by the cold meat? Cant smoke ribs at 180. I am within the return window and deciding on whether this thing is worth it or not.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

     Feel the same! I smoked 6 ribs yesterday in my new #3 and the temp when set to 225 degrees was at 180 on my digital wireless thermometer after 4 hours. Very disappointed. Emailed the company and they stated that is normal and the meat absorbs the BTUs??? How can I cook at 225 if the temp inside...

    Smokin' Baby Backs In My Big Daddy

    How much did the Big Daddy cost? That is the number #4 model? I just bought a number #3 model and i am having a hard time getting above 195 when set to 225 degrees. A bit disapointed.
