    Smoking in the cold

    2 pork roasts on the smoker for tonight.  Zero degrees out this morning.  Will see if the cajun injector smoker will keep up.  Took about an hour to get back up to 225 degrees after adding the roasts.

    First attempt smoking.....Worst. Ribs. Ever.

    Did you have the vent closed down quite a bit during the ribs? That could soot up your ribs and make them bitter.

    Looking for advice - which electric smoker should I buy?

    Cookshack smokette is probably the best built under $1000. I had a bradley. It worked well but uses proprietary wood biscuits. I had a smoke generator fail but got stellar service from bradley and was fedexed a replacement no charge. I currently am using a cheap cajun injector electric that...

    To pull or let sit

    My boy loves pulled pork cold so i shred it and then freeze it. Did some for a pot luck last week ahead of time and heated it uo as needed.

    New Electric MES 30. Chicken delicious on the outside, kinda boring on the inside

    You may also want to check the temp inside the smoker with a remote thermometer. Many times the temp readings of the smokers digital readout can be off a bit. My cajun injector is off over 10 degrees at high temps.

    Problems in Bradley town !

    I had a bradley for a few years before I moved out of state and had to leave it.  Are you smoking continuously or just a couple hours?  Some people feel that damp chips or chunks give better smoke, and that could be where the bradley underperforms.  You can definitely taste the difference...

    Pork Butts

    Looks tasty Rabbithutch.  You know sometimes I smoke pork sirloin roasts for pulled pork if they are on sale.  They dont have as much marbling as the pork butt, but still are fall apart tender after smoking to 200 degrees.  And I would bet pretty healthy in moderation.  I eat it cold like left...

    Bradley Bisquettes = 1 cup?

    Don't worry about it.  The point is to just run some smoke through it for a couple hours to get that new metal smell out of the smoker. Try 3 or 4.   Why are you using Bradley biscuits in a Masterbuilt?  the biscuits are kind of spendy.

    First time smoking with an Electric Smoker(birkmann gourment)

    When i had one of these i would just rest soaked wood chunks on the circular element. Mine just had a rotary heat dial. So i set it to temp using a probe thermometer inside.

    Anyone made sticks with a jerky gun and 5/8 stuffer tube instead of 21mm casings.

    Did a batch of pepper sticks in 21mm casings and turned out pretty nice.  But I was thinking about putting my 5/8 stuffer tube on my jerky cannon and trying some casingless snack sticks.  Then I would not have had to starve while waiting for more collagen casings.

    collagen casings

    Not sure about still using casing that old.  They are cheap, I would start fresh.  As far as smoking with them, I loop them around sticks and hang them in my smoker with the racks removed.  I tie the ends with butcher string.

    My Masterbuilt Electric Smoker not getting hotter than 220 f

    Also, are you using a long extension cord at all?  What kind of venting does it have.  I just open the vents on mine far enough to get smoke to draft through properly and not soot up.

    Snack stick question..

    Just did a batch yesterday. Stuffed friday. Smoked saturday. Came out great. I used the same brand diff flavor. A bit overspiced IMO but good. Will be curious how yours come out.

    newby to using masterbuilt 40 electric so don't laugh

    With my recent new cajun injector ( looks like a masterbuilt clone) iput a reliable thermometer in the center of the smoker. I stepped up in 5 degree increments and noted smoker reading vs actual. This helped my last batch turn out much better.

    On to smoker number 6

    Just made a batch of pepper sticks on my new Cajun Injector (probably Masterbuilt) electric smoker.  I started years ago with a basic Brinkman charcoal smoker, then stepped up to a Brinkman style electric, then a Big Chief, then a nice offset (1/4" steel, well built, but too large for me). ...
