    Pressure cooker/slow cooker

    I have a 4 qt cossori for the camping trailer, an 8 qt instant pot pro for main home cooking, an older 6 qt bluetooth instant pot for our snowbird digs. I like the 8 qt for making stews, soups and cheesecakes, just don't get enough leftovers with the 6 qts. My SO won't get rid of the slow...

    Rusty Stainless Cabinet, How to ?

    I have been taught that you have to get every molecule of rust/iron off or it will keep coming back. And that you can't do anything that will leave a molecule of iron on the stainless steel from something like a wire wheel with iron bristles.

    Smokin-It #1 lifespan?

    Buy it, for $200 it is a bargain. I use my #1 frequently instead of my #3 because of the ease of use when cooking small butts or a single rack of ribs.

    What to look at when buying used commercial Slicer - Globe

    Check the blade for chips/damage. It should run smoothly. If the sharpening stones are there, are they intact? Does the tray table slide ? Is the hand guard intact? Does the thickness adjustment go to zero and adjust smoothly? Are the screws holding the blade on frozen or stripped?

    RV with a smoker advice

    Check out the Smokin-It #1. I take that camping a lot. I think you could use some 2 in tubing to get the smoke out of your garage. But I would just park it under a pop-up canopy.

    Smoke House Conversion

    My sauna heater is designed to heat to 120 deg. Don't know if it would work to heat higher than that without damage to element.

    Instant Pot Ham Hock and Bean Soup

    Senate Ham and Bean soup as made for the US Senate is my favorite recipe. It is also what I use to get people started using an Instant Pot for making soup as it is so easy and quick. Attached is the recipe I use.

    New Smoker

    I would look on Craigslist and FB Marketplace for a used Smokin-It, Cookshack or SmokinTex electric smoker. They are all stainless steel, and most models are analog controlled which is less susceptable to weather when being stored outdoors.

    Smokin-It Air Hole and GE Profile Smokers

    I have never had the bottom hole plug up during a smoke except one time when it was so cold the dripping fat solidified and pyramided to seal the hole. Enlarging the bottom hole will increase airflow and may diminish the smoke profile. Increased airflow may also increase likeability the wood...

    Smokin-It 1 Not Smoking

    Here's some of my thoughts: Did you somehow bend the element down so the distance to the wood box isn't where it needs to be? The other possibility is the connections to the element may be corroded and not allowing full current to pass. Are you using a new extension cord that is not able to...

    Looking for advice on what smoker to buy

    I would look for a used Smokin-It, Smokin Tex or Cookshack instead of a new ME. Commercial duty vs homeowner quality.

    Dark Ribs with Smokin-It 2

    Try doing a rack cut in half. Season one half only and compare the 2 when done smoking. Next would be to cook a rack without using any wood to see how dark the meat gets. I don't mind the dark color. I use cherry and apple mix when smoking rids, so I expect dark.

    Rib membrane vent

    I pull membrane from middle of rack. Once you get started, it is easy to lift from the middle and get the whole thing off. I also like my ribs to have the meat still on the bones so the bones don't pull out.

    Camping Smoker

    If you could use an electric, Smokin-It has 2 small electric smokers. I have the #1 that I take camping. I have done 3 racks of baby backs ribs (cut in half) in it, a 9# pork shoulder, 2 turkey breasts while camping.
