    Question about pre-heating.

    I just got my Smokin-it Model 1 yesterday and it had the same instructions, Smokey. Then it gave very specific instructions about doing a break-in smoke before using it with food, so clearly it doesn't have anything to do with damaging the unit by running it without food in it. I'm thinking it...

    New Smokin-it Model #1 Break-in

    Gary, Thanks for the reply. When in doubt, read the directions, ya? So I did, and there were 2 errors in my set up that caused all the wild temp fluctuations. They said to only use 2 chunks (that they provided) of hickory and I used 3, and they said that the top of the wood container needs to...

    New Smokin-it Model #1 Break-in

    Hmmmmm. Well, it went all the way down to 239 and then started climbing again, and right now it's up to 293 and still going up. This seems pretty weird for a supposedly set it and forget it smoker. I'm thinkin 3 chunks of wood was too much and the wood is wants causing the wild temp swings. I...

    New Smokin-it Model #1 Break-in

    Hey all, I just got my Model #1 today and started the break-in period as described. Foiiled the top of the chip/wood holder, and the floor of the smoker. Set it at 250 (the max it will go and now I'm watching it. It started producing TBS at about 125 which surprised me and was at 160 in about...

    Cherry Smoked Tri-Tips

    Mossy Mo, Thanks for the help, and the rebate on shipping too. I'm looking forward to trying out the Vortex, and I think it will pay for itself in savings on charcoal. There's just my wife and I to cook for most of the time, and though the egg is really economical on charcoal it still seems...

    Cherry Smoked Tri-Tips

    Thanks again MM. I did a test burn today using my charcoal chimney down in the very bottom of my BGE (no charcoal grate) and put the AMNPS 12" tube right next to it. (you can see pics on my post Brainstorming the BGE, Vortex substitute, and AMNPS. Anyway I was able to set it up such that I could...

    Brainstorming the BGE, Vortex substitute, and the AMNPS tube

    Thanks Jack. I might try that too, but I was interested in just how useful the AMNPS tube would be for anything other than cold smoking. I think I'm going to try Mossy Mo's cherry smoked tri-tip technique using my chimney instead of a vortex and see what happens. I just checked the egg and the...

    Brainstorming the BGE, Vortex substitute, and the AMNPS tube

    Ya Dave, that's why I wanted to use the AMNPS in this test just to find out at what temp it would stay lit. BB

    Brainstorming the BGE, Vortex substitute, and the AMNPS tube

    3 hours and 15 minutes in and I still have TBS coming from the AMNPS and 338 for a grill temp. BB

    Brainstorming the BGE, Vortex substitute, and the AMNPS tube

    Hey All, After reading the "Cherry Smoked Tri-tip" post that Mossy Mo posted I started wondering if I might be able to use my charcoal chimney in my BGE to do the same thing that they did with the Vortex. As it turned out I had a spare charcoal chimney that didn't have a handle yet, and it fit...

    Cherry Smoked Tri-Tips

    MM, I went back to your post and saw the tube smoker this time. Forgive my inattention to detail. I think I'll try putting it down next to the funnel when I do it anyway and I'll let you know what happens. Also, Those Brussels sprouts look really good, and I don't even like em. Would you be...

    Cherry Smoked Tri-Tips

    MM, Thanks for the post. The food looks great and the technique is very cool too. I'm assuming you put your AMNPS tube down next to the charcoal funnel, yes? And did you fire up the charcoal at the same time you started the smoke tube? I have a surprise birthday party for my wife coming up and...
