Meatloaf or hamburgers. Done both in less than 4 hours. You might try chicken breasts too. At 275 and if you pound them down to thin them up you might be able to work it in 4 hours.
Well here's the thing. Target had it for 5 bucks. I can try it out and see if I like it and then if I do buy Todd's for 50 or whatever it is. If I don't like it, I am only out 5 dollars. Papa once told me to start with the last expensive item and more up from there.
That's my thought...
Thanks for the info. I have a propane vertical smoker. I am thinking of using it instead of the chip. My question would be, do I set the tube on the chip tray? Or do I get it started and put it on the bottom shelf and run my smoker like normal? Do I take the chip tray out all together...
Sorry to revive an old thread, but Target just put these on clearance, so I am going to give it a shot. Might try it with no meat in the box and see how well it works. If it does ok, seems it is a better alternative to the tray I now use. I will update when I give it a shot.
Thanks for the info. We really liked that rural feel as well. Did notice the rather conservative opinion, but that does not matter much to me. We looked at Star, Meridian and Eagle so far. Middleton is up there as well. Either way, we are thinking of moving out there upon retirement to get...
Greeetings,
My Aunt lives in Star. Just spent a week out there touring the area. Really liked it. Thinking of relocating from SF Bay Area in a few years when I can retire. What are your thoughts being new to the area?
I have about a 3 pound tri tip that I might try smoking. I work graveyards and want to try and start the smoke in the afternoon. So, my question is, in general, how long would a 2.5 to 3 pound take to cook at 250 or so?
Thinking of either Apple or pecan wood as that is what I have handy...
I did a small center cut brisket the other day. I seem to remember it was a little over 3 pounds and if I remember correctly I used hickory wood and was going to allow 5 hours. It ended up taking 6 hours and it was only at about 180 IT so I had to finish it in the oven. Also, I ran hickory wood...
Or just not set it to high just to try and speed up the process. Lol. I set to medium and it gets to 250 in about 20 mins with smoke going. So I am good.
It had only caught fire once when I tried to turn the heat on high to get to temp quicker. I just turn the dial to medium and it works perfect. I agree with your vent setup (not that that makes a darn bit of difference, lol) that is how mine is set up as well. Top wife open, sides as closed...
I have the SV18. My side vents are closed as much as they allow, which is probably about half way. Top vent is open all the way. Mike doors not have the needle and I put the disk at about medium and open the valve on the tank about one turn. I get to 250 in less than 30 minutes. Probably only...
I have the smoke vault 18 and I like it. Bone stock so I cannot comment on any of the mods. I can keep 225 to 250 pretty well. Have not gone much higher. I use chunk wood bought at the local big box store and 3 or 4 chunks last me 60 to 90 minutes or so. Interesting idea on the cast iron...
