    Need Some Advice and Help (Prepping for Thanksgiving)

    Hey guys, So I had a quick question that you experts may know how to answer. What do you guys think about: I'm trying to find if its going to be ideal. I'm currently using: So I live in an apartment. I basically use the smoker right outside my door at the "landing". Currently, my manager...

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker

    They didn't really "modify" it by physically modifying the smoker itself. They pretty much put foil where the drippings would land. I've read 2 reviews that if you don't do that, it'll cause a fire. I'm really considering buying this unit but I haven't heard many great things about it yet.

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker

    Hey guys, I know this thread is a little old so I wanted to see if anyone had any "new" experience with this little guy. I'm currently using something that I feel like if I bought this Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker, it'll be an awesome upgrade. I live in an apartment so I don't have the...

    Thermo Works Smoke

    Hello Murphy625, You are absolutely correct. ThermoWorks does not distribute to Amazon to sell their products. ALL the ThermoWorks products that you see on Amazon are re-sellers that purchased from ThermoWorks and is reselling them at a way higher price. If you purchase from an unauthorized...

    Hey there GaryHibbert! You know what they say, better late than never haha. This community is fantastic. True fans, fanatics, and pros with smoking. Yeah, I'm at the point where I don't even add ANY water to the bottom anymore. I did initially and noticed that my meat comes out more "steamed"...

    Thermo Works Smoke

    Nice choice Wade! I know the Mavs were the choice before as I've read so many good reviews and positive feedback from the community. But I've also heard of the issues on the probes. If you're lucky you'll get one that lasts and never have to replace the probe for years. But I've heard some...

    Thermo Works Smoke

    Hello Dr. K, My little smoker/roaster does have a vent on top (3 holes) that I can route through there. When you state "pinch", what if the lid on my smoker/roaster is extremely light; would it matter then? I attempted to use a instant digital thermometer (ThermoWorks ThermoPop) yesterday but...

    Thermo Works Smoke

    Hey everyone! I just purchased my ThermoWorks Smoke and it'll be here Monday. I messaged the company a question but I think you guys on here may be better at providing the best answer. So on the instructions it states not to "pinch" the wire in between any hot surface. So my question is, how do...

    Need Some Advice and Help (Prepping for Thanksgiving)

    Hello Red and gr0ucho, Thank you very much for your guys input. For the turkey that we cooked, we're definitely going to throw it into the oven before we eat it. If I am not mistaken, my wife already tossed the uncooked parts of the turkey. Most of the bird did give an IT of 165 if not higher...

    Need Some Advice and Help (Prepping for Thanksgiving)

    Hey guys... So I made the turkey... I didn't like it, nor did the wife. I'm obviously going to eat it throughout the week but it wasn't good at all. I smoked the 10+ pound bird for 3 hours at 350°F. I seasoned the chicken with a Cajun spice blend. I injected the bird with a butter Cajun spice...

    Thank you for agreeing on the turkey Red! I will post a picture tonight as long as everything turns out good on it haha... Thank you for the IT confirmation. Hopefully it comes out great because I'm planning on doing a smoked turkey (about 20 pounds) for Thanksgiving. This 10 pound bird is just...

    Need Some Advice and Help (Prepping for Thanksgiving)

    Hello Mike and Red, Thank you very much for your guys input and information. I'll be receiving the ThermoWorks ThermoPop today which is not a leave in thermometer but its a instant read that got pretty good reviews. I have to agree with you Red, the Smoke $99 is not going to be a smart buy at...

    Need Some Advice and Help (Prepping for Thanksgiving)

    Hey Red and guys, so I tried the Maverick. I liked it but I felt like it wasn't fully practical for the use in my current smoker. I ended up buying a ThermoWorks ThermoPop. Do you guys recommend a probe instant read thermometer or do you recommend a leave in wireless. I'm currently looking into...

    Need Some Advice and Help (Prepping for Thanksgiving)

    Perfect! Yeah I did a lot of research to find the best thermometer. I'm gonna try out the Maverick for now and see how it works and make sure if works. I don't want to be like the others that didn't get the great product that you have. Meaning, the ones that have failed probes haha. If...

    Thank you for the detailed information above Red. I'll be receiving it tomorrow and I'm planning on picking up ribs again from Sam's Club. I'm gonna use the thermometer to its full potential and check the calibration on it with boiling water as you suggested. I'm also planning on buying the...

    Need Some Advice and Help (Prepping for Thanksgiving)

    Thanks for your input red. I'll be getting it Friday. I'm a newbie for that too... Do you have any pointers for that as well? Is it hard to set up? What are the basics to getting it working. Do you put one probe just dangling in the smoker and one in the meat? For the one in the meat, how deep...

    So I ended up buying this one: Maverick Et-732 Remote Bbq Smoker Thermometer I'm gonna take a break from smoking till the weekend. I'm getting the thermometer by Friday. Is there anything you guys have to say about that specific thermometer. It seems like people are saying the probes keep dying.
