    Green Mountain DB temp inconsistency

    I've heard this complaint many times regarding GMGs. You need to play with the heat deflectors on the grill to get the temps evened out. I suggest moving them around based on where your hotspots are and cooking up some bacon to help identify if you have improved or not. Their customer service...

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    Very strange. I've never heard anything but positive experiences with their customer service. I've seen plenty of posts about damaged grills / lids from the shipping process and they always made everything right. I'm really confused why they would not do the same for you.

    Pellet smoker VS Bradley smoker?

    They are re-branded Lumberjack pellets. . . . . . very good pellets.

    Custom Cabinet Build - Pellet Fired

    I finished my custom build, converting a gas fired cabinet smoker to a pellet fired smoker by installing a Pellet Pro from Smoke Daddy. It is made from a repurposed computer server cabinet. During my initial trial in this uninsulated unit, I had a set temp of 190 and could only hold an actual...

    I just bought some casings, seasonings and bacon hooks off the waltonsinc website.

    Tasting Like a house fire - what has gone wrong

    Try a handful of chips on top of your heat deflector and skip the tube for now. See if that makes a difference.

    Heating Pellets in a Pellet Smoker

    MSDS's are no more - they are called SDS's now with the new Globally Harmonized System that is in place - so that isn't really a head turner. I still would be skeptical about what it is them. For instance: Is there any softwoods? Is there any glues or other impurities (if they get them from...

    Rec Tec Igniter Rod & Customer Service

    They do have exceptional service. I went through a few of the old style heat rods and they ended up sending me the new ceramic rod and burnpot at no charge (typically would be an upgrade charge).

    New Set & Forget? Yoder, Pitts & Spitts or Cook Shack

    I'm not sure if you could get a full packer in one. The SM 009 cabinet was 14 x 14 and the SM025 was 14 x 18. They are priced $700 and $900 respectively. They honestly just look to be very well built Masterbuilt Electric style cabinet smokers. You could get yourself into a good pellet grill...

    New Set & Forget? Yoder, Pitts & Spitts or Cook Shack

    Cook shack makes pellet grills or a cheaper cabinet model with an electric element that you use to smoke chips. I'd personally opt for a pellet grill. I would also consider that whatever you buy is well protected from the elements. You are looking at 1500 - 2000 units that I personally would...

    HELP! Could I use this equipment to turn into a smoker?!

    I would definitely consider putting a pellet hopper assembly on the big one. The ones from Smoke Daddy are about $425, but you would have an ass kicking smoker for about $500 and a little time if you get the unit for cheap.

    Fridge Build Question

    Have you considered a pellet hopper assembly for it? I'm in the process of converting my old gas powered cabinet smoker to a pellet smoker. It is a bit spendy ($425), but I love the thought of the temp control it provides and not having to add any chips. I also already have a pellet grill and...

    Pellet smoker - Brisket fat cap

    I trim the fat to around 1/4" and run the fat cap down (toward the heat source). This is what works best for me on a pellet grill.

    Rec Tec or Woodwind?

    I have the Rec Tec and love it. It will sear, but high heat sears really aren't the best. I like to put a little smoke on a steak on the RT and then sear on my gasser at 800+ degrees. The RT does fine on chicken and pork chops (I do both around 325) - but searing a steak to my liking isn't...
