    Smoke hollow smoke tronix users

    Sorry to hear that Bushrod, you must of got a lemon. I've had mine for almost a year and haven't had one problem, and couldn't be happier. Maybe they need to send out a whole new unit.

    Smoke Hollow 40" Smoke-Tronix Electric Smoker - First Impressions

    In my opinion i think the smoke tronix is a great smoker. I have a hand full of smokes under my belt now and am quite impressed. Like any smoker at this price point, they are going to have some pros and cons. I have owned 2 MES units over the years, and so far i like the smoke tronix better.

    Great to hear you like your new smoker. The ribs look great! I've had mine for a little while now and am still loving it. I have noticed if you use a mix of fine and regular chips it does seem to work better. Last smoke I almost got 4hrs out of a tray of chips.

    New Anova SV on the way!

    Wow is all I can say. This method of cooking is totally blowing my mind. I took the chuck roasts out this morning and seared them in a cast iron pan. Would sear on the grill but it's -12 this morning with a good breeze. These turned out amazing, just can't get over how the taste and texture is...

    New Anova SV on the way!

    Today I'm going to use bearcarver time and temp for chuck roast. I had 2 in the freezer from half a beef purchased a couple months ago. I rubbed them with some worcestershire sauce and seasoned with salt and pepper, double vacum sealed them and set the Anova at 133 degrees for 22 hours. I will...

    The Anova arrived yesterday. It was a long day at work so I was in a hurry to get the ribeyes cooked before it was to late, so I didn't take any photos. I did two 15oz ribeyes, seasoned with just s&p. I cooked them at 129 for 2 hours, then seared them in a cast iron skillet. Wow, these where...

    Smoke hollow smoke tronix users

    So everything went great yesterday on my first long smoke with the Smoke Tronix. The butts took about 13.5hrs and the smoker never missed a beat. The finished product is really good! Only problem no Q-vue. It was getting late and I totally forgot to take some pics. I only had to fill the chip...
