    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Looking forward to First Smoke tomorrow on my new #2, which arrived Tuesday and was seasoned on Wednesday. Planning to do two racks of spare ribs - one using Al's 3-2-1 Asian Rib recipe from Jeff's book, and the other with Jeff's rub straight up along with Chef Jimmy J's Foiling Juice. Also...

    Home Depot / Lowe's woods

    So - to answer the question nobody has yet to answer - you bet your butt, it sure flares up. I'm on my 'seasoning' run, three chunks of wood at 250 degrees, and it started belching about 25 minutes into the process, temps up over 300 degrees. I turned the element off, and am waiting for it to...

    Home Depot / Lowe's woods

    My new Smokin-It #2 arrived today, and I cannot wait for the weekend. I was at Home Depot last night, grabbed a bag of Char-Broil packaged Cherry wood chunks. I haven't opened it yet, but now I'm reading some posts about Lowes' and HD woods being super dry (probably kiln-dried), and therefore...

    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    I'm not sure this a completely fair assessment. There seem to be legions of very happy Smokin-It owners, and one or two individuals who have had concerns about temperature swings. In this case, it seems to have been a faulty part, and the company sent the necessary parts right away to...

    New Member - waiting for smoker to arrive

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I bought Jeff's rub and sauce recipes and the ecourse about two weeks ago; great stuff. I have tried to update my profile with most of what I put in my post above, but the site hangs every time I hit submit, and just stays on 'Please wait' for what seems like...

    New Member - waiting for smoker to arrive

    Hiya! I've been lurking here for a few weeks, doing research, trying to make a decision. Finally ordered my first smoker - a Smokin-It #2 - on Friday afternoon; delivery expected Monday. Really looking forward to it. I'm located in Rochester Hills, Michigan, married, have two daughters, one...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Thanks for this. I was expecting I'd need to brine, based on what I've read so far, but hadn't begun to look for recipes - so thanks for the list of ingredients. I wonder how similar Old Bay is to the Savannah Crab Boil you mention. I have a bunch of Old Bay I'd like to use up. I ordered a bag...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    That is my hope! Just checked the Fed-Ex site, they say delivery Monday. That is spectacular service - order Friday afternoon, delivery Monday. It helps to be located in an adjacent state, I think - and it sure knocks down the price of shipping, too. Now I'm researching recipes for the firat...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Placed my order for #2 at 3:00 p.m. today; got shipment confirmation at 6:00 p.m.. The waiting begins. My first smoker, and looking forward to it. Thanks to everybody here for all their input, which really made the shopping decision something of a no-brainer.
