    I need opinions on using vintage flat wheels on a yard meat smoker

    They weren't made to be weight bearing, but I am sure the should support your smoker unless you go way overkill on the frame. Would be great talking point if you do use them and had of picture of them in place of use.

    Cleaning smoker

    I clean mine by scraping with a stainless 2" spatula when the ceiling starts flaking onto the food. And I keep foil on the woodbox and floor that I change when dirty.

    Is this a good pairing?

    Agree with tallbm's response. I have a #1 that I take camping, it will hold 3 racks of ribs cut in half. My SI #2 equivalent (Smokin Tex 1400) has twice as much room. Since you want to sausages and I'm assuming you will hang them, you probably would be disappointed with the #1. The #2 would be...

    Vac Sealing Cheese

    I smoked some Tillamook sharp chedder that did well vacuum packed for 2 years. I also had some mild chedder grocery store brand that got crumbly and didn't do so well after only a few months vacuum packed. I think the fat content made the difference in how well each cheese did.

    How do you smoke cheese ?

    I now smoke my cheese in a Big Chef smoker with a mailbox mod. I only do 2-3 hours with apple and cherry only. I want just a mild smoke flavor and not to eat an ashtray.

    Reactive pans

    Stainless steel food service pans are what I use.

    Smoker Build

    I'm sure you can haul enough wood up front to keep it smoking for most of the day. (LOL)

    Cleaning smoker racks

    I use fabuloso, 3-4 tablespoons in enough hot water to cover racks and let it sit overnight. I only have stainless steel racks now, so for the really tough jobs, I use spray oven cleaner.

    Smoke it Model 1 not starting

    Of course you verified outlet being used has power. MY #3 that is 4 years old wouldn't turn on the spring, even ordered a new thermostat. Then I went out and tried again and it turned on. Only thing I could think of was that the rheostat was oxidized over winter and that I finally cleaned...

    My new smoker - Smokin-It

    I use a tray I made out of aluminum flashing and no chip screen. Usually get lumps charcoal with minimal ash.

    My new smoker - Smokin-It

    Pellets act a lot like chips in the smokin-it. They burn to fast. I only use chunks unless I'm doing fish. And like poacherjoe said, it doesn't take more than a few ounces of wood.

    Just $60.99 for INKBIRD wifi thermoemter IBBQ-4T+Temperature Gun Combo,Save $60 get two temperature.

    The temp gun is also handy when traveling with a travel trailer. You can check the axle hub temps and know that they are the same temp. If one is a lot hotter than others, the bearings should be checked or the brake on that axle may be dragging.

    is there such a thing as a mini smoker ?

    Smokin-It just brought out a small electric smoker. They call it the Sydney Camper Smoker, they rate it to hold up to 10# of meat. I have their #1 that I bought 2 years ago to take camping and love it. I use it for all my small batch smoking instead of using the bigger #3 that I have.

    Really small gas unit to compliment my Kamado

    I would have given my vote to the Char Broil x200. I have one and it does a great job and easy to clean.

    Cold Smoking....trying to keep temps down.

    I use my propane torch to heat up the top corner of the MES and chimney pipe when I start the cold smoke. Never had the tray go out. But my setup was a mailbox mod with the tray in the mailbox, not my smoker.

    Need a new smoker

    I have a Cookshack SM009 electric that was built in 2005, and a 2011 SmokinTex 1400 and both are still working just fine. I would look for a used Cookshack, SmokinTex, or Smokin-It on Craigslist or Facebook market place to get the most for your budget.

    Need a new smoker

    If you decide to go ahead and get a new smoker, I highly recommend the Smokin-It #2. And if you really want the digital control, get the #2D. I have a #1 that I take camping and a #3. The build quality is so nice compared to the MES. But the others are right, rewiring a MES and adding a...
