    Food Saver sealing issues

    I found a site called elementsandmore.com They have replacement sealing strips for Foodsaver and Rival units.  I've no experience with these folks and have not done business with them; this is just a heads-up that the parts are out there :) I trashed an older Rival that suffered from the same...

    Hello and Location Questions

    I'm an extreme amateur, with probably a dozen or less sessions under my belt over the last two years.  That said, it's my opinion that 10' is a little over the top; I'm sure they are basing that on some recommendations by their lawyers :)  I've got mine in a corner of our deck, about 3' from the...

    Masterbuilt + AMNPS, plus a few generic pellet questions

    The AMNPS is now on order, along with another 10lbs of pellets in apple, cherry, oak, maple and pecan. It's time to get to work on finding aluminum duct elbows and a suitable burn chamber.  Thanks guys!

    Masterbuilt + AMNPS, plus a few generic pellet questions

    Good deal.  Thanks! And since I forgot to type my pellet questions...  :) I've read that it can be difficult to keep fruit woods smoking, and that a blend of fruit woods with something like hickory is recommended.  is this going to be a problem, or do the pellet smokers not suffer from that...

    Nice job on the wheels and supporting frame.  1x4 pine? Small castors probably won't work for me since I'm on a regular deck, but maybe a larger set will do the trick.  I suppose it's be worth the $10-$15 investment to find out since  the existing rollers are next to useless.

    Insulating a Propane Smoker

    Sorry for the thread necro, but I'm really curious as to how this is holding up.  If I'm reading the thread dates correctly, it looks like you've been using this for over a year.  Have you had any problems or needed to make any modifications?

    Hello from Georgia!

    Hello all, I've had an electric smoker that's worked well for several years now, but the thermostat finally started to fail.  My wife bought me a Masterbuild 2-door for my birthday last month to replace it, so now I'm a member of the propane club :) I'm looking forward to getting started with...
