    Thanks Gregg!  I'll be there tomorrow.  I'll try them out on the 12 lb briskie I bought today!

    Great tip, Jon!  I don't have a Costco near me, so I'll check Wally World!

    Those look great!  I'm a big fan of the "no peeky" method - no foiling, but hey, can't complain about those!  They look really moist and tender.  Nice job!

    Couldn't agree more, with both points!  It's a problem of too much wood, and possibly a rub that is burning while smoking (too much sugar content).  Also, you're looking for an apple wood smoked bacon taste:  Be aware that there may be more than smoked meat flavors at play there.  You are...

    Well, don't I feel a little embarrassed!    Totally misread that post....sorry!  Didn't pick up on the cold smoke question.  I have the cold smoke plate for the #1, and it works well.  I don't use it very often, but when I smoke cheese, it works great.  I follow the method of filling the drip...

    So sorry that was your "first impression" of smokinitforums!  We're only 1 1/2 years old, but have grown to over 800 members, more than 13,000 posts in 1300+ topics.  There are many SI owner members, here, who are very active over there.  What makes the SI forum unique is that it's entirely...

    According to Steve at SI, the box can safely handle up to 350.  I've taken my #2 to 325, but not higher.

    Quote: I have smoked extensively in the model 1 and model 2.  I use the same amount of wood in both smokers, which is solely determined by what I am smoking.  The amount of wood has nothing to do with the smoker, but with the item being smoked.  For example, I use 2.5-3 oz for poultry and ribs...

    Talk me out of getting an electric smoker!

    Now you're talking!  20" of depth for full racks of ribs and full packer briskies!  Major Q real estate in the #3!!  As far as upgrades goes, the one thing that many of us have gone to is the Auber PID controller.  Imo, it makes a great smoker perfect.  It allows you to program 6 steps, with...

    Talk me out of getting an electric smoker!

    Uh oh...You're onto us!  Seriously, though, I absolutely love my SIs.  The convenience-factor is off the charts, and it allows me to smoke something 1-2 times a week.  I use it more than I ever thought about smoking with charcoal or stick burners.  Nothing wrong with that, if you're into the...

    Talk me out of getting an electric smoker!

    I have a SI model 1, and a model 2.  Once you see how these are built, comparing them to any of the "big box" plastic smokers is apples and oranges.  In my opinion, the SI can only be reasonably compared to Cookshack and Smokin Tex.  When you compare these 3, you'll see how much value the SI...

    I see several new SI owners here!  Yep - smoke ring is cool, but just show.  In a blind taste test, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference!  I use a little pink salt in some of my brines, and it looks cool, but Koze is right - kind of cheating.  lol.  But, it you have some BBQ snobs that...

    Smokin It #3 or Smokin Tex 1460

    Hi Smokey!  Both are fine units, and operate virtually identical.  The only differentiations are the cost, and the warranty.  ST offers a 2 year warranty, and SI has a 3 year warranty.  I suspect you've already noticed the cost difference; definitely more good Q real estate for the money with...

    Which of these two models would you choose

    Well-said, Martin - as usual!

    Please educate me on the Smokin-It Model #3 Electric Smoker

    Thunderjet, you can't go wrong with a #3!  As far as "Q real estate," it's hard to beat.  You can smoke full racks of ribs and big packer-cut briskets without cutting them.  Quality and construction is great, and you don't have any plastic or rubber to contend with like many of the "big box"...

    And, like the rest of us, you apparently did it without a video!   Folks can also download the manual, from Auber, and figure it out on their own...it's really not that hard; just takes a little effort to learn.

    I have the "downsized" version of your setup - a model 1 and 2!  Not "anal" at all!  Load 'em to the hilt, brother!
