    cajun express smoker mods

    I just wanted to post an update. I have had this smoker many months now and with the modifications above I am very happy with it! The family favorite is smoked whole chickens, even my daughter at college had me smoke a couple for her to take home. I live in a small town and it is hit and miss to...

    I made what was left into tuna salad, and it is good with a smoky flavor, made the best of it I think.

    cajun express smoker mods

    I was disappointed in the lack of features. There is minimal information on the website and very few reviews to be found.

    The tuna was a little chewy, I may have overcooked it. It was very flavorful though! I cooked it about 10-12 minutes, opened it to check the temperature and it was already 145. I wanted to get it out at 125. I've been using a wireless thermometer but I forgot to charge the battery.

    Came across this forum as one of the only places anyone mentioned the cajun express smoker. I guess there aren't many out there? I will give you my honest view, I spent a lot on this thing, and I am liking it. This is a heavy duty smoker, built well, but I am going to call it a dumb smoker...I...

    Hello, I kept going to family get togethers and hearing about everyone with a smoker. I decided to look into it and found the Cajun Express smokers that have a pressure chamber. I have been a fan of using the instant pot, so I thought it sounded pretty cool and I bought one! I have been using it...

    Cajun Express CES-9 Pressure smoker

    I bought this smoker. Very well built. However I found it lacking in safety and technical features so I have done some modifications that I will share. The food has been great.
