Horizon Smokers - Service?
I'm sorry your delivery was postponed again and again, it hurts because you want to use it right now and now you will wait a little longer until your Yoder arrives at home. When I first started looking for a Horizon smoker I was shocked that no one had any models I could look at and had no idea...- bandman45

Stuffed Pork Loin (Apple)
Thanks Bear for this fantastic idea! Will be stopping at the store this afternoon to pick up a couple of loins w/fruit filling for tomorrow's project. I've done stuffed loins w/homemade chorizo and fresh fruit salsa (lots of work) and always enjoyed them. I like your ideas and this looks like... -
Horizon Smokers - Service?
It is good company and I enjoy my Horizon smoker as everything about it is outstanding. However, completion and delivery dates can be misleading as they are a small company, I can accept that. What I really like is having my old faithful Hasty Bake smoker/grill and now my Horizon smoker, now...- bandman45

Horizon Smokers - Service?
I checked with a local welding shop about them making a lump coal basket and they couldn't make it for the same price as Horizon and I'm not a welder. It doesn't look like a hard job to complete if you have the right tools and know how.- bandman45

Horizon Smokers - Service?
I bought the Horizon 16" smoker about three weeks ago at a Bass Pro Shop. It was missing the butterfly damper and I knew that so before I bought it I called Horizon and they said they would put a rush order on that and a convection plate. I had those two items in 48 hours!!! Obviously they...- bandman45

IT IS SMOKER CLEARANCE TIME OF YEAR!!!!
I bought my Horizon 16" at a Bass Pro shop about 3 weeks ago and it was missing the butterfly damper, I pointed that out to the salesman and he checked with the manager and they immediately took off $85.00. I called back the next day and mentioned that I was ready to buy and they took off...- bandman45

I would bet that if you would walk into one of those big box stores AFTER Labor Day weekend with cash and ask for the manager that you could do very well, seriously.- bandman45

2-2-1 Baby Backs!
Thanks for the reply, I do appreciate it! I'm going to do some stuffed pork chops this week and will give the biscuit recipe a try, we really enjoy trying new recipes and I rarely find one I don't like. Thanks again -

Tell us about your homemade garlic rolls, please? That most likely sounds odd on a smoked meat forum but I think I've got the rib thing figured out but would love to hear about the garlic rolls THANKS!!!!! -
getting a new smoker......dont know what to go with
The pellet munchers are very popular if you want to set it and forget it and they do work. But for me I do like being hands on when smoking, it's an event for me that I truly enjoy. Competitions -- I spent my whole life in competitions (not smoking meats) and now I'm happily done with that. ...- bandman45

getting a new smoker......dont know what to go with
My first smoker was/is a Hasty Bake and it's been spectacular. I've had it for 16 years and still use it for everything, highly recommended. Yesterday I brought home a 16" Horizon Smoker and am VERY MUCH looking forward to using it for many, many years. You probably should start with a less...- bandman45

Bandman45 here from just outside of Des Moines, IA. I've been smoking meats now for 16 years using a Hasty Bake and it's been fantastic, great hobby. Will be picking up a new Horizon 16" tomorrow as my oldest son sent me a link to this forum with an excellent review of the Horizon so I thought...
