    Good-One Marshal or not???

    I did a bunch of research on the Big Green Egg and the Marshal. I registered for a Chris Marks class at the end of this past summer to see the good one in action. I needed a smoker this spring and couldnt wait for the class so I bought a BGE. I get a great end product on the BGE, but it is a...

    traeger fails.

    Thanks for the info as I am researching smokers to buy, this was one brand I was looking at. One question, why not just return the unit to the store you bought it at? Or did you buy it online?

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    That is a good looking brisket!!! The biggest problem for me with Brisket has been taking it off too soon. Every time I let it get to 195-200 its perfect. Once it was due to the Chicago winter, smoker wouldnt get hot enough and I had to serve dinner. 2nd time I had the smoker filled to the...

    Couple question needing some advice for Baby Backs

    I bought a new smoker, the Smokin -It #3. I smoked some baby backs a couple of weeks ago. I used Hickory wood blocks, its what came with the smoker. The guy who owns Smokin-it recommended a temp of 220 for 4 hours. At 4 hours they were no where near done. Waited another hour, still not done...

    Advice needed badly

    Thank you, I actually spoke with the owner of Smokin-it and he said to use only two pieces of Hickory and to go 220 for 4.5 hours. Im going to take a look at 4.5 hours to see what they are looking like. Thank you for the info, very helpful!

    Are you saying to only use a small amount of wood or use a different wood?

    Advice needed badly

    I bought a new smoker, the Smokin-it 3, tomorrow will be my first time using it. I have used the Brinkman electric smoker for the last 15 years. Its the one you start it up and leave it alone. I never really knew what temp it got to. I knew that at about 6 hours my baby backs were done. They...

    New to this site, cant wait to get invloved!

    I am pretty set on going with an Electric smoker now but may want to try other options later. My dad had two smokers so I have experience on a Charcoal smoker too. Just more comfortable with the electric. What are some of the other options that would be a good choice? Jeff
