    Well got my Smokin-it #2 seasoned last night, wood chunks caught on fire part way through, when I walked out there was this big whoosh sound and a ton of smoked shot out the top. I pulled out the wood box and made a little foil boat for the wood chunks and it didn't happen again. Although they...

    Yeah the butts at cash and carry looked like they would fit fine but I was like wow no way these briskets are going to fit without being cut in half or something.

    Yeah definitely! Before my current internship I was cooking for 4 years so there is no shortage of knives in my home hahaha.

    Well bit the bullet and bought a Smokin-it #2, Hopefully it arrives and works without issue. Went to Cash & Carry today and checked out some of their meat. Saw some good looking bone in boston butts for 1.66 a pound. I saw some briskets. What do you all do for those because they were huge no way...

    Just one last question was is the most amount of meat people have successfully smoked in the #2?  I know one gentlemen said about 16. I am curious to know if people have successfully smoked more.

    Fair enough! At least people who smoke understand the benefits of letting meat rest. Being a former cook I see way too many people cooking steaks and other red meat without letting it rest at all. So sad hahaha. I think I will be pulling trigger on a #2 soon. I think that would have enough room...

    Has anyone found that the length of time it takes for a specific item to finish smoking is more consistent using a PID device than just the stock smokin-it smoker? Obviously different types of meat and the different masses will effect the length of time needed to be done but I am wondering for...

    Oh I already have Jeff's book! I bought it last spring when I was wanting to get a smoker but never followed through with actually getting one. School and work got in the way.

    I have just finished reading this entire thread. SO much great info, thanks to everyone who provided it. If I get a #2 hopefully I can crank out good quality meat and be able to estimate the time it will be done. My biggest fear is getting one and trying to cook for family or friends and then...

    Thank you for the info! I am probably going to end up getting a #2 soon. I will PM you if I get one and end up deciding I want to use a PID. But I figure if I get it I should learn how to use it and learn more about smoking first. I got Jeff's book last spring and never got around to actually...

    Thank you! Hopefully this isn't too difficult if I get a Smokin-it and decide to try and do this. I definitely would prefer digital control, especially for the ability to program actions into the smoker but don't wanna buy one for 200 haha

    Everyone's advice is much appreciated! I already have a foodsaver thankfully!

    I guess temp fluctuations aren't really my concern, my concern lies more in the smoker being able to actually reach proper temp which I have read some ppl seem to have problems with.
