    How can I find the best Electric smokers?

    reyesmkc, I bought one probably 10yrs ago for $200. I immediately modified it and it works great every time I want to use it. It was a basic Masterbuilt model with an element that is something around 1500 watts and no fancy digital control. It has a knob for low/medium/high. That is not the...

    10lb Boston Butt

    Another success on my MES Analog/Auber PID.  I started this Tuesday, July 2 at 1pm and pulled her off at 7am Wednesday.  The Auber held it at 225.  I saw it at 226 a time or two when I went out but not once above that.  I used both the built-in water tray and wood tray to hold two rounds of...

    Amaz-N-Smoker Pellet Pkg #3

    I'm using my AMNPS for the first time today.  I got a 12lb bisket on at 7am and at 4.5hrs in, this thing is still smoking like crazy.  I removed the water pan which sits in an opening on the bottom rack.  I placed it on a higher rack and placed the AMNPS below it to keep meat juice off.  I also...

    Amaz-N-Smoker Pellet Pkg #3

    I bought a brisket today...a 12 pounder!  It will be the first thing I've smoked since I got my AMNPS.  I'll get it all rubbed up tomorrow night and let it sit in the fridge until Sat morning and I'll get it on about 6am...I hope.

    Amaz-N-Smoker Pellet Pkg #3

    I just did a quick google search and the first thing says not to use galvanized steel for food prep or storage.  The question was about a grill that had a galvanized burner which was deemed to not be food prep or contacting food.  So maybe the shield would be OK but I'll probably remove it...

    Amaz-N-Smoker Pellet Pkg #3

    It's flashing, so I'm sure it's galvanized.  First thing I'll do is cook it at 500F on my gas grill for at least 30min.  I do have some large pieces of stainless steel that are the same thickness left over from my wooden boat build, but I'll use foil if I find out the galvanized is bad.  That...

    Homebrewers Roll-Call

    I began brewing back around 1993 for a few years and stopped.  I started back in 2009.  When I quit, I had 3 keggles and several cornie keg fermenters.  I also had a two tower tap in our basement.  I was into culturing yeast and had a fridge full of yeast slants.  I even had a little micro lab...

    Amaz-N-Smoker Pellet Pkg #3

    My MES Analog Smoker with the AMNPS.  A trip to Home Depot and a $.048 piece of step flashing took care of the potential dripping problem from the meat.

    Amaz-N-Smoker Pellet Pkg #3

    I'll say one thing.  Todd gets 5 STARS for service.  I ordered Pkg #3 on Friday and it arrived at my house today and today is Monday!  I may go and get a brisket to smoke this weekend.
