    creosote taste

    If your mouth is getting numb from eating the jerky, that can't be a good thing.  Isn't creosote a known carcinogen?  Isn't creosote used to preserve railroad ties and telephone poles?  To me, if my mouth gets numb from eating something, that's my body's reaction to something bad and is saying...

    Major Bummer!!

    Ah, YEAH!  Boy, did I find out the hard way! And, again, I am so thankful I didn't lose the entire smoker.  I would have been devastated.

    It's not insulated at all?

    Major Bummer!!

    Doesn't the pan prevent that sweet, thin, blue smoke from caressing the bird?  (That sounds dirty).  Maybe a pan directly below it?  I do have a drip pan in the smoker but the bacon butter breached my last line of defense and ignited, because I didn't place the pan directly underneath the birds...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro - Advice

    The only user adjustment that can be made is the time between pellet "bursts".  That is the only adjustment that can be made.  The "burst" length is non-adjustable, which, incidentally, is about 6-8 seconds or so.  The controller is of proprietary design and cannot be modified. The auger runs...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro - Advice

    Here is my thread for my Smoke Daddy pellet burner conversion: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/132907/pellet-smoker-fridge-conversion The down side(s), if there is one, is that it will not go any lower in temp than 200° - 225°.  The reason is 2 fold.  First, my fridge is well insulated, not...

    Major Bummer!!

    The actual fire was less than a minute.  But I can smell the burnt insulation from the temp probe.  I tossed the turkeys already.

    Major Bummer!!

    Hello all, Not a good start to Thanksgiving.  I had an incident this morning.  I got Reefer Madness up to temp and placed the turkeys in.  While the smoker was pumping in pellets to recover from the heat loss of opening the door, about 15 minutes in some of the bacon butter from under the skin...

    has anyone tried smoking in winter?

    The plan is to smoke 2 turkeys tomorrow morning.  I will be getting up at 5am to start "Reefer Madness" and run it up to 325°.  The forecast is lower 20s with a 10mph wind and snow....1 to 2 inches.  These exact conditions are the reason I built an automated, insulated pellet burner.  As Ron...

    Fridge build project- Need help please

    One important note: don't plan on using the original racks. They contain heavy metals and are dangerous when used in a hot application. I believe they have a high cadmium content.
