Any smoker that works is good enough. Ahh tuna is great. I do 3-4 offshore trips a year and smoke whatever I don't sashimi. Give the woodshed a call http://www.thewoodshedoc.com/. They are in Anaheim and have always had good alder chunks whenever I needed them. I usually get the larger 25lb...
Welcome to the forum and to the world of smoked foods. What type of setup are you cooking on? I started off on a UDS more than 25 years ago, then moved to a stick burner, WSM, and recently purchased a pellet smoker.
I would suggest cash. My bank cancelled my card without me knowing it because of a security alert. I know several others who also had "charges" appear on their card shortly after shopping at RD.
It's common to have that problem until it's properly "seasoned". I took a can of pam and forced seasoned mine and it has been working perfect ever since. Almost to the point I don't need my stoker anymore.
Yeah I thought about that, but I have enough friends and family that it wouldn't be an issue. On a side not I also had a buddy buy 18 racks at $10 per rack for the game Sunday. As a result I've already made most of my money back. I may also do a party for the super and charge $20 for AYCE...
In theory your right, but you need to consider that water pan that will have 2-4 gallons of water plus the 20+ pounds of meat in addition to my Pro Q stacker grill surface that adds another 18" grilling surface and another 10+ lbs of meat. All that considered your calculations are about half of...
Thanks for the info when I called the place digging dog posted they said just that. That's why the maximum size heating element they make for 110 was 1500 watts. I already own the place, but it's in a gated community so hence the HOA and rules. Silly rules.
Actually the cabalas one doesn't have thermostat control so I'm looking at the brinkmann 812-3323 that does. They have them on amazon for $40 and has received great reviews. I think i'm gonna get one setup it up really low over a bed of those lava rocks and see how hot it will get with 2 pork...
Well I wasn't sure so I just called them and the biggest one they make for 110 is a 1650 watt unit. Not much better than the 1500 watt on that cabala's sells. He said it would be fine with a WSM based on size, but it wouldn't get that hot and if you throw in a water pan full of water AND the...
Do you recall what parts you got?
Seems like the biggest 110v they have is only 1650 watts, but it's still better than the highest one i've been able to find so far.

Also how do you control the temps that thing? Do I need a another part?
I already checked them before posting. What they sell is perfect except that the power is too low. The problem is the one they sell goes "up to" 220 which means max it would probably get on a good day is 200 and that's not hot enough...
Well I was smoking ribs yesterday and a crazy old lady didn't understand people cook that way (I live in a yuppie area of OC) so she called the fire department and reported a fire. They came out noticed the smoker and smelled the food and laughed, but because it was a false alarm had to report...
