    Thermoworks Smoke

    So I've been wanting to buy a Thermoworks Smoke for a while, been watching the ads for a sale. They have advertised sale prices on most of their other products, but not the Smoke. Thursday I decided to just go ahead with a purchase, ordered it and shortly received shipping confirmation. Friday...

    Propane conversion

    g dog, so far so good, the water tray has caught 98% just a tiny bit has hit the pan I put the wood in. Cliff, I have no idea what the actual burner rating is,but all o fthe grill side burners appear to be rated at 10,000 BTU.  Only used it twice, don't know how much I'll get from a tank, but...

    Propane conversion

    So far I have smoked a pork loin and some ribs since the conversion and everything has come out great. I'm able to control the temp with no problem, and no issue with the flame blowing out. I do find that the water tray uses more water with the propane heat, this may be adding to the moistness...

    Propane conversion

    Good link, thanks g dog.  I looked at the valve & thermocouples. If I understand the operation, the thermocouple would have to be in a flame and brought to temperature in order to light the burner. This would eliminate my piezo igniter, not a big deal, and require manual lighting, correct?

    Propane conversion

    Interesting info Dave, thanks. No luck in finding said sensor, but I will pay attention. I did get a vent pipe to fill the 4" top vent, so the insulating foam can't potentially melt. Now with the fresh air vent fully open, I can keep about a 1/2" flame burning and maintain ~165 degrees with...

    Propane conversion

    Hey guys, propane newbie here. I have a Masterbuilt electric smoker that went tits up after 6 years with a power issue. Decided to convert it to propane using an unused side burner from a grill, the frugal approach! The electric box is well insulated, and so I cut a 3x6 vent (sliding damper) on...
