    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I used to, it was a must in my weber,  but with the smoking-it its absolutely not necessary.   in fact you can vary the amount and lengths of your smoke (for same amount of wood)  by using a couple of the following techniques: 1, don't just use 1 larger chunk if you want quick and more...

    Smokin It #2 or #3?

    one thing to consider is that the #3 will accept full racks of ribs, if that is important to you.  It was for me as I did not want to cut the ribs in half which you will have to for the #2. It accepts 5 racks.... more room for sausages... and cheese.. other than that not much difference.  as I...

    Chicken may benefit from finishing on the grill for the skin, but butts are meant to be low and slow. I'm sure you'll find that the pork will be drier and tougher and less moist if it sis finished on the grill.... I don't think we need to tinker with how hot the element is actually running, ...

    If anyone figures out how to "fix" the thermostat so we can get it above 300, please post. This would be great for chicken.....

    cookin grates!!!!

    Hmm, i haven`t heard that lead is used in galvanizing process. In fact back in the day galvanized pipes were used to replace older cast iron/lead water pipes to reduce lead issues. I don`t think they use them any more but they were safe for drinking water, they just corroded too early. But...

    Using electric smokers to rest meat after smoking?

    Great, Thanks, that`s what I thought. It would just be simpler than dragging out the cooler every time. My wife says I always grab the wrong towels :biggrin: I just got the Smokin-It 3 which is a very well insulated unit. After a couple of runs it seems to hold temperature for a very long...

    Using electric smokers to rest meat after smoking?

    I have always used a cooler to rest my meats after a smoke, but I just recently got an electric smoker and was wondering if there are any drawbacks to using the smoker to rest the meat after it`s done. Let say set the smoker at 140F, wrap the meat a couple of times and set it in there for...

    Beef ribs?

    I can never decide if I like pork ribs or beef ribs better :-) I love both.... As Leo suggested  jeff's rub is good but for beef i prefer much less sugar. You can always try a simple SPOG or additional paprika and chili powder.... One thing to watch out for is that butchers like to trim...

    Yeah for sure..... the reason i got the #3 is to have plenty space in the smoker.....  The most I plan to smoke is 8 racks of ribs or 2-3 pieces of pork shoulder.... But who knows.  Also the wife will get a surprise.....  The backyard is not completed yet,  but the doghouse is ready :-)
