    Need Advice

    Considering purchasing an Englander Pellet Smoker from local Southern States Co-op. Had my hands on the unit, it's solid heavily built and the price at 799.00 is tempting. What does everyone think about this smoker? Thanks.

    How do I get more smoke flavor...?

    We use chips in a cold smoker which feeds into cc, we get the tbs we want but have yet to get bark we want. Guess we need to smoke longer or find a way to apply more smoke.

    How do I get more smoke flavor...?

    Sorry, need to be more informational...we use chips mostly and roll the smoke until the meat is 150 at which time i(I have been told) it no longer takes smoke, we usually foil and or wrap from then on until internal temp is 195-200, then cool down under a big blanket or in coolers before...
