    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    PJ, I am not using an extension cord and voltage is fine.  Ambient temps were mid-70s this past weekend.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Seeking your feedback. So I received the new thermostat and installed it.  If I put nothing into the smoker, I can get it up to correct/accurate temps.  However, I like to put an aluminum pan on the lowest shelf just above the heat box (a) for easier clean up as it catches all the drippings and...

    Tex, I've read most/all of your posts regarding the Auger.  Given my situation (my #3 won't get up to temp...even empty and turned up to 250, I top out around 210 or so), do you feel that bypassing the controller would allow it to get up to higher temps?

    I am so disappointed in my SI#3.  Regardless of what I put into this thing, it never gets up to temp.   I just pulled a 9# brisket that has been in there for 15 hours set at 250 degrees and must now finish in the oven as the IT is only at 162.  The smoker got over 200 degrees once but the rest...

    Good GAWD this brisket is taking forever!

    I'm using the SMOKIN-IT #3.  I believe I ID'd the problem in that its not getting up to temp.  After I pulled it and finished it in the oven, I left it on with the thermometer inside and with the dial turned to 250, it only got to 219.   I contacted Steve the owner last night, and he already...

    I, too, am having problems with my #3 holding temperature.  I just pulled a 14# brisket that has been in the smoker set at 250 for 21 1/2 hours.  Temp of the meat is 168, so I pulled it to finish in the oven.  I figured I'd leave the temp probe in the empty smoker, at it topped out at 207...and...

    Good GAWD this brisket is taking forever!

    Put a 14# brisket on at 7pm last night at 225.  It was 148 degrees at 8a, so I put it into an aluminum pan and covered with foil and turned the heat up to 250.  Now, 21 1/2 hours of total time and it's only at 168.   So much for having this for dinner tonight.  With any luck it might be done...

    Got my #3  a few days ago.  Seasoned it last night, smoking ribs now.   Problem:  can't get temp over 200.  Thermometer works fine, not using extension cord, outlet works fine.  Bummed.

    Looks like the #3 is being picked up in Ohio (?) on Monday for delivery.

    Thanks, Pete.  I just ordered the #3 and passed on the stand.  My primary reason was that it only added a little bit of height.  Now that I hear that the quality isn't very good...glad I saved the $200 plus shipping.

    Got it...thanks.

    Anyone have a picture of their #3 on the stand?

    Thanks, Dert.   Two questions...(a) do you feel it makes using the smoker easier?  (b) Was it worth the money to you, or in hindsight, would you have put the money toward a stand that sits higher? Thanks.

    Thanks, Old Sarge.   Steve confirmed for me again that this only adds 12 inches in height.  Actually, he said it's 17 inches because you have to subtract the wheels...but that's not correct, as the wheels are present whether you use a stand or not.  For $200 plus shipping, this seems crazy to...

    Thanks.  And what would you need this for above-and-beyond the original smoke box?

    Anyone have a picture of their #3 on the stand?

    Hey guys, Steve informed me that the #3 would be 42" tall on the stand.  per the site, the #3 is about 30" tall.  So the stand is only a foot tall?! Does anyone have a picture of their #3 on the stand to share? thank you.
