    Starting my build 250 gallon propane smoker with rear facing firebox.

    Well it has been a year and a half since my last post and over two years since I started. Life has definitely gotten in the way of my ability to finish this project.

    Starting my build 250 gallon propane smoker with rear facing firebox.

    Well I am back. It has been a few months since I have been able to work on the smoker but I have started again.

    MES popping ground fault outlet

    I dont know your exact situation but I know on my electric smoker it was drawing some decent amps (i was thinking 20 or 30 amps ). Might check out your homes circuit board and verify the outlet youre trying to run off has the amperage to run. I had to move my smoker from the backyard where my...

    My Friday afternoon venison smoke. First time using my AMNPS.

    Thanks guys, I always have to lie to her and my parents when I cook venison and other game meats. My wife, when she finds out the truth shes fine with it and understands, but my parents almost seem mad sometimes. Needless to say I dont cook anything besides beef and chicken when my parents come...

    My Friday afternoon venison smoke. First time using my AMNPS.

    Finished product. IT of 145-147. I pulled and foiled at 135. I will serve for dinner with mashed taters and asparagus. Hope the wife likes it. I am telling her its beef so she will eat it. Lol. After she's finished telling me how good it is then I will let her know its venison.
