    Hot plate in an offset smoker

    The old ones are great. Give it a try, without any meat in your smoker, and see how it does.

    Hot plate in an offset smoker

    Around 10 years ago I modified a little chief smoker with a hot plate that had been around since the 80's. When it died I went out and bought a new hot plate only to discover that the modern day hot plates have something built in that causes them to shut down when they get too hot. It would shut...

    Help! Don't know where to start!

    Welcome! Nothing wrong with an MES. I used an MES for almost 10 years until it gave out on me this year. Definitely start with something easy and forgiving like a chuck roast or a pork shoulder. Ribs are awesome but can be complicated for a newbie if you plan on doing 3-2-1method or a custom...

    Chicken Breast for a Newbie

    I would probably finish them on the grill. Depending on how you're smoking them(bacon wrapped? stuffed?) they run the risk of drying out if you leave them in the smoker while riding out the stall. It may be considered cheating but if it were me I'd throw them on the grill for a few minutes since...

    Here in Cali the Winco stores have tri tip for $2.98 lb. At that price I smoke a few and grind the rest. Wish I had a Fry's near me.

    Attention great minds of SMF!!! I need advice on a build!!!! with Q-View

    Galvanized metal can give off poisonous fumes when heated. Go with steel or maybe aluminum for the win. I like the concept though.

    Wow I haven't been on here in a while. Good to see this old thread is still going. Is that trash can galvanized? I'd worry about the heat causing poisonous fumes.

    Tender Quick or Smoke Flavored Sugar Cure questions

    Thank you to all for the replies. Morton has been frustrating over the years as I've gotten different answers depending on who answers the phone there. They have also contradicted things that are in their home curing book so I feel more comfortable asking my fellow smokers than I do asking Morton.
