    Thinking about building a new smoker, but ????

    Hi shoneyboy, Thought I would put my 2 cents worth in here. I have much the same thing as you just bought in the auction and I'm here to tell you, It makes a perfect smoker. I don't see the heating element in the pictures you posted unless you have removed it. Mine has the original electric...

    My Vacmaster Pro-140 came today

    I bought this very same vacuum packer about 6 to m7 months ago. It is fantastic. I had another well named machine before this and traded it to my son for a couple jugs of whiskey. The Pro-140 is so easy to use a caveman could use it. Rich

    Hoping for a quick answer

    Dave, good afternoon, Thank you for your quick reply. I guess I'm so engrossed in smoking I just thought everything I make is to be smoked. This is the first time I did any Brats, My son came out from Aberdeen and we made him a small batch of Polish Sausage ( 2 1/2#) (again first time) and he...
