    Despondent in Indiana

    If you have power for a hot plate then you have enough for a smoker.  Most the smokers I've seen only require 110 volts. Check around.

    noob trying to grasp all this!

    Dogwalker the racks on mine are just as you described. Won't effect anything once some weight is added.  Just another sign of quality control issue.  Still worth the money as long as you don't pay full price. If I paid full price I would return the one one I have and look for something else.

    noob trying to grasp all this!

    Dogwalker I did a lot of research on several different electric smokers and will get mixed results from all of them. I purchased the 20070311 from Academy. The unit is well build and quite impressive looking. Easy to assemble except for the electric controls locked on top of the smoker. That...

    Mortons quick tender subistitute

    Thanks DaveOmak I do have the scale and many ingredients already. I don't believe its necessary to buy name products ie: Morton tender. I am no chemist just a follower when it comes to recipes. I make cure by following the advise of many learned members here.  I just though there would be...

    Help for novice wiring MES to PID

    TromaRon I think your missing the point here.  You should never get shocked from the ground never never etc. I don't care what you attach your ground to if you get shocked it has nothing to do with the ground. Something is wrong. The ground is a safety measure to keep you from dying.  If you...

    Whole Turkey, can I stuff it if cooked at high temps??

    Mowin there should be no problem cooking a turkey with stuffing. Just don't over stuff the turkey and make sure the stuffing reaches a temperature of 165 degree F.  We do it all the time.  I have cooked many on  my Weber grill without a problem, well most of the time anyway. Good luck I'm sure...

    Help for novice wiring MES to PID

    Hello TromaRon           I'm not sure what PID you purchased they aren't usually directly connected to whatever they are controlling. The purpose of a ground is to direct the current safety to a ground rod so as not to get shocked.  This probably means you have wired it incorrectly as you have...

    Wooden smoker, silicone sealing? HELP

    Hello Andres  your concern over using silicone, food grade or otherwise, in a smoker is well founded. The FDA's approval doesn't mean the product is non-reactive. It is low but does occur. As far as temperatures are concerned the product will do what you want. But and a big but is what is the...

    Greetings From Southern USA

    One eyed Jack I never knew there was a difference, on a small scale smoker, until now.  I've seen some nice ones here; the ones that look like outhouses.  Looking for something 2x3 feet 6 feet or so tall and simple to build.  I'll certainly ask plenty of questions. Thanks

    Greetings From Southern USA

    I recently moved south and I'm amazed at the varying degree of products produced from the local BBQ joints and from friends I have come to know. I though I knew a little about smoking and curing meats now I know how little I do know. This looks like a great place to gather some incite and...
