    Question about Camp Chef Pellet Smokers

    I will try adjusting the chimney and see if that works. I think it is opened quite a bit. I cleaned my pellet smoker yesterday and cleaned the temp probe with white vinegar and water to see if that will help any as well.

    Question about Camp Chef Pellet Smokers

    I have a Camp Chef Smoke pro SE. I am really liking the pellet smokers a lot, however I seem to have some temp variances. If I want my smoker to get to 225 I have to set the temp to 250 and if I want 250 I have to set to 275. The temp seems to run 20 to 25 degrees lower than what I set it for. I...

    Contemplating a smoker build

    OK sometimes I get really bored and just want to mess around with stuff. Over the past few years I have made a couple of smokers out of items and then ended up selling them or dismantling them.

    Rubs - home vs store bought

    I mix my own rubs because we use a lot of spices on all of our foods and have them on hand. I have tried commercial rubs but like the taste of my own and the savings to me. For pork now I use Chris Lilly's competition pork rub recipe. For beef I basically use nothing but koshier salt, black...
