I was wondering if anybody out there had blue prints/ plans/ pictures of one they did. Right now at this stage in my life (with wife and...

    Question for all you gas burners

    Mine does the same thing. When I first got mine I called SV and spoke to the engineer about the flame being slight yellow. He stated this is how the burner is designed (as long as there is no soot building). He sent me a new burner anyway just to be on the side of caution. SV has great customer...

    Pork Smoke time

    I've heard that if u wrap it once it hits about 160 it will help drive it through the stall. May give it a shot next time. Thx.

    Pork Smoke time

    @bear I usually keep the temp probe on the same rack and a couple of inches from the meat. @golfpro Yeah maybe that was it. I usually get my meat from the local butcher. Next time I will try to trim some fat off or get it cut from the butcher a littler more lean.

    Pork Smoke time

    I could use a little advise with this one. Got a new smoker a few months ago and I have used quiet a bit. The one thing that I am noticing is that it takes a lot longer to smoke something. For example, I recently smoked a 6 lb bone in pork butt that took almost 19 hrs to hit 195. The smoker was...

    Smoke Vault and Wood on Fire

    Hey guys, I have a smoke vault 24 and have used it quite a bit over the last couple of weeks. The one problem that keeps occurring is that my chunks keep catching fire. So far to no avail I have spread the chunks apart, wrapped in tin foil, tried to raise the tray a little but every time they...

    Smoke Vault 24

    Yeah I just took a wrench and i unscrewed the factory regulator and then put the bayou classic one on. As far as the settings go I just put the knob on high and then do my adjustments from the needle valve. Not sure if it matters where the knob should be or not. On mine the needle valve is...

    Smoke Vault 24

    Thanks for the replay. Yeah I think that I will try sand in the chamber next. In the previous big barrel smokers that I have used I never used a water pan. I did sometimes put a small pan of apple juice in (im not even sure it does anything or not). So primarily the water pan is for heat...
