    Alternate use camp chef smoke vault

    Do you know what size screws you used to plug up the holes? I am thinking of doing this for mine, and I also have a Great Outdoors Smokey Mountain I need to do the same thing for. I'm wondering - are most of these burners the same in terms of the hole sizes? I am going to use mine for holding...

    First Time: Buy Offset Wood Smoker or Pellet Grill Smoker?

    I agree - as long as it's not a YUGE purchase. Buying a new boat or vehicle without discussion (or a large smoker in some cases) could lead to some serious fireworks. lol Small ones, like a used Weber kettle I found on Marketplace, or something like that, usually not a huge deal. It's the...

    New RF trailer smoker

    Congratulations! It's always exciting getting a new cooker, I know. lol For the turkey - I pull at 155ºF in the breast. Always amazing. As for that door cut, yeah, looks like someone slipped with the plasma cutter. And they didn't put door trim on the top because they used... D rings AS the...

    SMF Lifetime Membership 50% Off Sale!!

    I would love to do this - but I don't use PayPal, I ditched them a few years ago and won't utilize them for any reason. I'm going to email Jeff and ask about another way to do this.

    Smoke Vault Lessons Learned

    I love my Smoke Vault 24 as well, but I use it mostly now as a holding oven at 150ºF once I've cooked my meats in other smokers. I just found that doing side by side testing, that it did not yield the same flavor of even my pellet smoker. For real, it seems odd, since the Smoke Vault is actually...

    Sunday "Mistake" smoke (Pastrami) longish with pics

    Damned right. Point is the way to go for pastrami, in my opinion. Always. Strong work, glad you discovered this. People who say point is too fatty are just... well... they're just plain wrong. :emoji_laughing: j/k, everyone has their own preferences. But yeah, point is the bomb for pastrami!

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Awesome job, Joel! Looks like a great little cooker. I've been considering a direct cooker like that - but then, I've also been considering a cabinet offset, and a gravity feed and a whole bunch of other styles as well. :emoji_laughing: Definitely a nice smallish footprint on that thing, looks...

    Pork Butt Price

    You ain't just kidding. I almost never buy beef anymore. Once every couple of months a brisket. But I honestly don't remember the last time I bought beef personally except for a brisket. Wife buys ground and stew beef once in a while. I guess I bought a couple chuck roasts to do Mississippi pot...

    Advice for Newbie build

    I think he is using an empty propane tank as the firebox. Going to be connected to that 4" elbow going into the cook chamber. So... that tank may be a little small for use as a firebox. I mean, those things are tiny, it's really hard to actually manage a fire in there. Not really a good shape...

    Hobart 1612 cleaning and disassembly--frozen adjustment knob

    I just acquired a 1712 with a stuck index knob. I will have to tear it down and find out how to access this worm drive and see if I can apply some heat to it.

    I figured I should give a follow up since I posted it in the open forum (prostate biopsy)

    Lots to unpack here. First of all, good luck to @DougE in pursuit of treatment for this. I know it's got to be scary and frustrating and all those kinds of things. Definitely saying a prayer for you and ALL the survivors in this thread. When you bring up something like it, you begin to see how...

    Man those Fireball squares caught my eye! Would love to have those, not super cheap, but they're good stuff!

    Smoker build

    I'm trying to figure out... well, the point, really. Why bring in the air, heat and smoke under a baffle, then direct it up along the sides only to come back down again and then... exhaust out the bottom? IN horizontal reverse flow, the baffle absorbs heat and distributes it more evenly...

    Refurbishing a Great Outdoors Smokey Mountain cabinet smoker

    Yup, that is my plan this weekend, to pull it all apart and do a quick sand and repaint it (the cabinet, I mean) and see if cleaning the burner out works.
