    Heads Up Temperature Probe Calibrations

    I have been a smoker for a very long time, but I'm getting to the point/ age that I'm leaning toward pellet smokers. I want to try the "set it and forget it" camp. So... I bought a used Recteq RT700 a couple weeks ago from a guy who said he fought with it for a year or so and finally gave up. I...

    Need some opinions......

    Mine is the same type of design, although my nozzle is but 6" diameter. I think you'll be finer than frog hair.

    Smoking a fully cooked ham?

    I smoke spiral cut hams all the time, and yes, they pick up the smoke quite nicely. I also use a coffee mop (posted here a while back). Between the mop and smoke, you won't go wrong. Temp is not extremely important, you just want it to be heated through. I usually hang out at around 250F for...

    Too simple to talk about?

    The reason for the multiple elements and controllers (other than the fact that I can) is due to keeping the chamber temperature constant and/ or cold. When chamber temperatures reach my desired level, the chips/ lumps will still have an element to keep the smoke going. By the same token, if I...

    Sorry folks, I ain't seen ANY BBQ I didn't like. Different? Yeah. But good?. Hell Yeah! Nuff said.

    Too simple to talk about?

    We don't all make tired old smokers. Below is the link to my first real post. Hey, the sky's the limit. Don't worry about what it looks like- it's your baby. If the neighbors can put up with it, you're good. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...960#post125960 Have fun.

    how to build a smoker from scratch?

    Hey Marc... what Rich said. Sound off so we know you inside and out (kidding). Smokers can be as simple as a cardboard box and a hot plate or as eleaborate as a stealth bomber (my electric is proof of the latter). For camp smoking I have successfully used a 30 gallon steel drum with a few grill...

    Paint peeling inside the Bullet Smoker

    I'm with Rich- scrape it down, oil it up, and rock on!

    Please Join Me In Boycotting china imports

    I have to admit, though I'm one of the ones who thinks this is the wrong place to debate the issue, that you all have been extremely civilized to this point. It is rare to open a hot box of controversy and not have it turn into a flame war, but you've all managed so far. This issue is so deep...

    Street vendor goodies if you go to the Olympics in China

    I'd try some of it, but the dog brains are just about to the limit!

    I very much agree with voicing opinions, offensive or not. I just think that opinions need to be expressed in the proper forum (not meaning internet). It makes little sense, or impact, if we preach abortion rights to the confectioners convention. And political issues are best raised during a...

    Beer Can Chicken & ABT's

    Dang man, that looks fine! I'm hungry now. I did an experiment several months ago (OK, maybe a year) with BC chickens. I invited six or eight people (told you it's been a while) over for the taste test. I first prepared and seasoned all three birds identically. Then I used three different...

    Unfortunately, this post too should be locked down. Regardless of your views (I do not patronize Wal-Mart), you will, or already have offended someone somewhere. This forum seems to be polite and courteous toward each other, and I would hate for that to change. These posts are better suited for...

    Mop Question-Need some advice

    It won't make any difference if you mop or not... you will still get your accolades. If your guests are like mine, most of them probably don't get this type of grub ANYWHERE, so they will love it either way. You could probably even smoke a turd and they'd love it. I always just go with what I...

    Smoking pizza

    I have smoked pizza on several occasions. I have a huge garage and we often party over there. It's also where my smoker and charcoal grill live. Smoked pizza can be done well, but it CAN be a PIA. My smoker will go to 300F, but at that temp it takes too long to brown the crust, and so the...
