    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    jond, I have had a #1 for about the same amount of time. If you were doing an 8lb pork butt, do you really use just an ounce of wood, where 1 ounce would probably measure less than an 1 1/2" square piece ? Just curious.

    rubs

    I have had a #1 smokin-it for 3 years now. Do you guys think that adding a rub adds that much flavor to the meat. I have tried numerous rubs, that are basically the same, and I don't taste any difference than just smoking the meat without a rub. Just curious if I am missing something, or a rub...

    In my #1, after a while the black, what ever it's called, starts to flake. It's on the walls, back of door, and the ceiling. I use a 3" paint scraper to gently remove it.

    Kel…you can always plan to get done early, wrap meat in foil, then towels, and it will stay piping hot for hours. I just finished 3 butts 3 hours ago, wrapped them, and just finished pulling them. The meat was so hot, I had to let it cool for about 10 minutes so I didn't burn my hands.

    I've had a #1 now for 2 years. Since user guides from smokin it are pretty slim, I refer to the Cook Shack and the Smoke Tex manuals. One of them states that max weight in a #1 would be 20#s of meat. I'm currently smoking 3 butts total weight of 16#s, and expect no worries at all. Set at 225...

    I don't have a small scale to weigh wood, so what would be the approximate dimensions of 2 ounces?

    Ok…I've got the 732 model. I guess I refer to the one probe as the smoker probe, never heard it called an air sensor before. My bad, thanks for response.

    What's an air sensor?

    You could foil it and put it in your oven at 350. probably will finish in an hour. By now it has absorbed all the smoke it can handle.

    I think the temp sensor is faulty...mine was and he replaced, and made a world of difference.

    BBB and Canadian Bacon on the Smokin-It #3

    Is going from 40 to 140 degrees within 4 hours still the acceptable practice?

    A 2" chisel and a hammer work great.

    Rather than investing in a scale, I use the formula that 2 ounces of wood  measures approximately 1-1⁄2 x 1-1⁄2 x 1-1⁄2”.   Also that 6 ounces of wood is the maximum for anything.

    raj.....I've never heard of, or experienced flare ups in the smoker box, and I've had my  #1 for almost a year now. The only thing I can think of...was the lid down completely? May be some foil on the lid didn't allow it to close all the way? Did the foil possibly filter grease or drippings in...
