... Sam's Club that is, and I'm smokin' my first batch of dry cured steelhead trout for 2025✔️. About 6 hours in the dry cure. Rinsed and re-seasoned with white pepper, black pepper and garlic powder. SmokerCam view after an overnight rest. Outside temp 25°. Still using my stash of A-Maze-N...

...lesson with this round of slab bacon. Use fresh cure. It is cheap and should be tossed after a year or so. Hanging in my Big Chief smoker cabinet. Heater element burned out, but the cabinet works great for cold smoking. Add a tube of hickory dust. Fresh off the smoker Bagged and into...

Welcome. I have a Big Chief and smoked a lot of meat. The element burned out a couple years ago. Been using it as a cold smoker The original Brinkmann offset weren't bad. Quality went way down after Baxter Brinkmann sold the company and name. New company introduced a Weber Smoky Mountain...

I cold smoke my bacon if possible. Check Amazon for smoke tube. I got mine at Menards. Same with the SS u-bolt to tip it up. If you have the room leave the tube vertical for a slower burn If you use pellets in the tube it is a large amount of thin blue smoke and best for using in an offset...

Great job!!! Also welcome back, I think it's been a while since you were posting. The point is the best part of the brisket and yeah a proper smoked brisket is going to be AMAZING so don't be shocked if you do more and you enjoy it more than pulled pork. Here in Texas brisket is king and I...

I've been smoking on a Big Chief for nearly 20 years, and am finally looking to upgrade to an electric smoker I can use to smoke AND fully cook (without having to transfer to the oven) bigger things like brisket and pork butt, etc. I've been researching and from what I can see, it seems, based...

I replaced the old element in my big chief smoker with a element from a Proctor Silex counter top burner that is controlled by one of my Auber PIDs. Soooo awesome.

I generally use a pellet tube in a drum smoker for my cold smoking, and my back-up smoker is an electric box "Big Chief" also fueled with pellets burned in a hot plate. I shoot for a pit temp of 70°F or less, and as you can see I have plenty of draft, and a gentle smoke. In both smokers, I'm...

Interesting idea. What diffuser plate does the stock PB have? I'm thinking about attaching my Big Chief smoker to the exhaust port on my MB pellet pooper to make a vertical chamber for hanging sausage and sticks.

Soak casings in warm water for an hour before stuffing. Yes, keep them in water even as you load the horn. Here's how I cold smoke with my big chief. Element burned out and I'm thinking to open a hole in the back and mounting it on my pellet pooper as a smoke / warmer cabinet.

Hey all and thanks for an awesome resource. I stumbled upon the site while researching sausage making. Getting back into it after many years away as my first visit to central texas has really ignited a post oak fire to try my hand at Jalapeño/Chedder Hot Links. Longtime Lil and Big Chief user...

Sorry all, I posted my intro in the wrong thread. Lets try again. Hey all and thanks for an awesome resource. I stumbled upon the site while researching sausage making. Getting back into it after many years away as my first visit to central texas has really ignited a post oak fire to try my...

Plans changed for the gathering. I ended up not staying the park and got a motel room in town so I wasn't there for much of Saturday. Made up pork shots instead of breakfast, but Doug had fed everyone with his pork shots before I got out there. Put out a pan for snacks at the buffet table...

I've got a Traeger 870 so I figure I'll put the tube on the far right and I'll have the loin section on the left edge since it's thicker than the belly and the left edge is the hottest zone when it's running. going to throw some cheese on the smaller rack that runs across the top

Excellent feedback guys, Thanks. I soaked my hog casings for 30 min. then flushed the insides twice. I did not keep them in water though while stuffing. Will take your advice next time SmokinEdge. I don't get a temp reading on my Treager without turning on but my thermapen reads 71 degrees...

Memory comes back to me. You were one of the conversions I remember. I remember you corrected me on the voltage and wattage drop. To me the links you provided are over kill. A simple heating element harvested from a counter top combined with stock or aftermarket controller should do the job...

Not sure about your Treager but when I’ve used the smoke tube in my Yoder pellet unit I can turn on the fan without starting up the grill. This air movement helps a bunch keeping the smoke clean and not stale. Otherwise I use my big smokehouse. As for your temps you are good but I will caution...

...and because of BrianGSDTexoma's post about the CharGriller, I went to YT for more info, saw the tabletop version, which led me off into the YT weeds, which ultimately led me to (you know what's coming!) Amazon, where I ordered this... Oklahoma Joe's Rambler Grill ...it'll be here Friday...

Yup! to the 1510. What's nice about having this controller is that you can easily use it on your other electric smokers. My old big chief smoker gets Auber assistance, once in awhile.
