    Need a little help from the experts

    What should I look for as far as a reliable thermometer goes? The one in the door is like what I'm used to on any other smoker I've had. Thanks, btw!

    Need a little help from the experts

    I bought a "coke box" conversion. Long story short, bought through son of guy that used the thing and he knew absolutely nothing about it other than he liked the sausage that came out of it. So I'm looking for any tips that any of you can give to get my first smoke done in this thing. This is...

    Elk Spicy Sticks

      What was the outside temp in PA when you were doing this?  I need to do a batch of venison myself but with outside temps being about 100 here in Texas, I'm afraid of ruining a batch of good stuff!

    Toxic Insulation?

    Just came across this old thread and to answer the last question on it, I scrapped the idea and bought a conversion instead that was ready to go.

    Got a little piggy

    Not real sure what the deal is with the images? When I try to use the photo icon, I get an error msg saying there is an error, but doesn't give me a clue what the error is. Oh, well, sorry, I tried.

    Got a little piggy

      I knew I was gonna be too slow with pics!   Sorry no pics taken of the thawing goodness.   Got the smoke started and pig in place.   Before I wrapped it up.   I was working on another project and let my fire get away from me, so it got a little warmer than preffered.  After the...

    Got a little piggy

    Yeah, it's perfect grillin' size! I shot a sow one evening in a group of about 15 or 20 pigs. When they all scattered I had three of these come running right towards me so I took them too! First two were melt in your mouth tender! Hope this one is too! I've been trying to perfect baby backs here...

    Got a little piggy

    We're having a family get together this weekend and I volunteered to smoke a rear quarter from a hog. I was surprised when I went to get it out of the freezer and found it was a whole pig, about 15lbs. I thawed it yesterday, put some rub on it last night and will fire up the smoke when I get off...

    Why is Winter Time preferred for smoking sausage?

      I have a new to me, Coke box conversion that I can't wait to try a batch of Venison Summer Sausage in.  I have to get it wired up but have everything else I need besides the cool temps.    My question is will 100 plus outside temps have an adverse affect on the outcome of the sausage?  ...

    Toxic Insulation?

    So, if I remove all of the foam is there anythig else that needs to go back in its place? Seems like the shell would be pretty flimsy without it?

    Toxic Insulation?

    I want to say about 150 degrees? I'll have to check my notes from a year ago.

    Toxic Insulation?

    Doing a fridge conversion and never thought about this until I found this forum. I've done a search, but struck out. I found where someone mentioned units built after a certain date have the suspect type of insulation. Can anyone tell me what that date is? I am going to be cold smoking so I...

    Howdy!

    I stopped by here to find info on a fridge build. Looks like a very informative forum with a lot of folks willing to help out. I spend a lot of time on Texasbowhunter.com as I am relatively new to bowhunting and it too is full of great people that want to help out the newbies. My hobbies are...
