My other smoker is an old Brinkmann Smoke'N Pit. I can say w/o a doubt that my WSM is superior in every way shape or form from my S'nP. :-)
A buddy of mine has a New Braunfels smoker of similar design to your Smoke King, and the few times I've smoked with him I'll say it's a pretty good unit...
Thanks Dave.
You are correct. It's a lamp repair kit available a probably any hardware store. I just drilled out a rack mounting point from 1/4 to 3/8". Easy job, took less than 10 minutes. :-)
I happened to have the parts lying around, you know, can't ever throw anything away that might...
I wasn't sure where to put this since I'm cooking 2 equal sized pieces of meat, so general it goes. We really need just a general "Smoke Day" forum for times like these.
I've only been able to smoke chicken, pork chops and side dishes. Finally a weekend to smoke some real meat...even though...
edit: Double post.
Well, While I've already taken up space with my double post...
My first smoker is similar to the one you had in your link. I recently picked up a WSM 22". I've only had the chance to use it a couple of times, but as far as first impressions go, there is not one thing...
Like I said in my last post, we board dogs for friends and family, here's a few of them we've watched over the years.
A super sweet Golden Retriever. (laying down, that's our dog Blondi sitting)
The Husky that wanted to eat Max. (and blondi)
My dad's dog Remo. We had some neighbors move...
If you get it as a piglet, it would grow up with the dogs and likely be fine. We kennel dogs quite often and Max has only had issues with one dog, a husky that decided he was gonna eat Max. We decided to keep max in the garage while we boarded the husky.
I don't wanna jack this thread too...
They usually try for the title at least once...but they (the dogs) seem to be fast learners. ;-)
Seriously though, they all get along with Max fine, they just have to learn to not get in his personal space.
How much have you played with the tuning plates. Contrary to a post of mine earlier in the thread, I've got it down to 10-15* difference in temps after tweaking the tuning plates a bit. I just used some 6" wide 1/8" thick steel sheets. I slid them back and forth until I finally got it pretty...
Here's 3 of my smoking buddies...obviously they're not much help until it's time to pull the meat.
Ginni (sleeping), Mocha (Choc. Lab) and Blondi.
They also help me scare the fish away...
They are a little more lively when down at our cabin.
Buddy #4...and no, I'm not fattening him up...
Not really a need to season them. Seasoning is not really needed since the interior is finished and not raw steel. :-)
I just went over the interior of mine with some some soapy water and rinsed well (just in case there were any manufacturing oils/chemicals present and fired it up.
There's probably a hundred threads on Charcoal around here... Honesly, short of "match light" or using lighter fluid, there really is no wrong charcoal (just some a little better than others). Just experiment and figure out what works best for you. Really, in the end, all that matters is how...
There are many differing opinions on this. Nakedwhiz.com (I think) has tested most of the available charcoals, both lump and briquettes.
Cowboy Lump rates pretty low by most, Royal Oak is said to be better.
For me personally, I use regular old Kingsford Briquettes. The do produce a lot of...
Thanks guys! Even though I've only got about 4 hours cook time on it, I was really pleased. Out of habit, I checked it every 1/2 hour or so, it never changed. Once I had it dialed it, 245 on the bottom grate and 260 on the top (per my digital therm), it just stayed there. I can't wait to do...
