    Pepper on Bacon

    Well next week is here. Temps are getting warmer and harder to control heat in the smoker. I had the burner turned down (needle valve) to about what a large candle would produce. That smoke generator is game changer for sure. So much easier to smoke in warmer weather. So all done, time to rest...

    Smoke Vault Challenges - Bigger Vent or Plug Burner Holes

    I have had the Smoke Vault for about six months. I have been going through the learning curve and have been doing a lot of reading here. A great group and a lot of good knowledge. I added sheet metal around the base to knock down the wind issues, and I have added a needle point valve for better...

    Changing out my smoker

    I have a Camp Chef Smoke Vault. It has a learning curve to it, primarily because it's not insulated, so temperature control, or lack thereof, is dependent on where you set it up. It will also require some after-market add-ons, like a needle point valve to dial in the temperature. I also added...

    Let's Build A Smokehouse

    ...often, but after closing off the outer row of jets on the burner with 4D nails, I have had no issues at all. I also use a low pressure regulator, not a high pressure one. I bought a very good needle valve from Tejas and I can dial the flame down very well...will hold and not flare up or die down.

    Using a Propane Smoker

    It may be the door therm being off.....Never trust it. And it may need the needle valve mod to get the temps down if its really running that hot! Jim

    First smoking

    ...that you will drive yourself nuts trying to maintain a temp with the dial on the smoker. Its just not that fine of a control. Thats where a needle valve mod will come in to play. I Let the smoker settle in where it wants to as long as its somewhere between 225 and 275 degrees. Ribs look...

    Thanks! The smoke was mostly white but not super thick. Here’s a screenshot of a short video I took.

    Help!

    ...who you know, and today I knew the right guy. Asked my neighbor who’s a plumber and he suggested a place to check. I went there and no needle valve to keep temps low enough but on my way home my neighbor called and he’d phone a favor from his buddy who does gas work and had me the needle...

    Let's Build A Smokehouse

    Oh Rick that system in the link will also work with a needle valve setup for the burner gas. If the burner blows out the pilot will relight it as well. I have also seen people put the thermocouple in the burner flame vs the pilot flame in this configuration so if the blow out is more than a...

    Help!

    My regulator wasn’t working correctly on my gas smoker. When I tried to disassemble it to take a look, I accidentally broke the needle valve too. I use a camp chef smoke vault, 24 inch smoker and I have 25 pounds of kielbasa and 5 pounds of bacon.Needing smoked. What specs do I need so I can...

    Blank slate build or buy?

    ...and garage sales. Can even advertise for a non working unit. Most of the time it is wiring not the element. Look up mailbox modification for electric smokers. A tray with sawdust will run 10 hours. There is many threads on modifying gas smokers for low flame control. Search needle valve mods

    Needle valve assembly for Cuisinart COS-244?

    Anybody know what needle valve assembly will fit on a Cuisinart COS-244 (vertical propane smoker)? Trying to work out whether to go that route or cut the existing line.

    Propane smoke house build

    While I am a propane smoker....I have to agree with @Jonok. Unless you run a needle valve and block off a lot of the orifices on the burner it will be hard to get down to where you want your temps for jerky making without losing the flame. And electric element and a tube for smoke may be your...

    ...is compatible with this unit. The label on the unit says BTU 22,500. The first picture below is a 0-10 psi regulator with an inline needle valve. I also saw 0-20 or 0-30 adjustable high-pressure regulators where the pressure itself is changed instead of the flow volume. I also saw one...

    Heat source questions for new smokehouse build.

    ...better. I don't know about using a PID with a propane setup, I'm way less knowledgeable here BUT I have read about guys saying to use a needle valve which I think helps dial in the propane output to make it more easily controlable for temps. BUT PLEASE double check me on this hahaha. As for...

    Lowering temp on a Dyna-glo LP gas smoker

    Aloha, I got the needle valve and tested it without anything to smoke and it seems to do well with one burner going, I think the temp is under 200 degrees but that's just a guestimation as the mounted temp gauge seems to be off. Now I just need to catch a marlin to really test it out haha...

    ...the burner. I did successfully smoke a turkey on it, but I need to find a better solution that offers more control over the smoke. I have a needle valve, 12v solenoid valve, and an Auber Instruments SYL-3615. So next I’ll be working on that system and a safety shut off system. Thanks for lookin
