    does anyone else here have a Jim bowie ?

    I got one and just finished close to 30hrs of straight smoking this past weekend.

    help

    I say get the 18 inch, you can always put less pellets in for shorter durations.

    Get an A-maze-n tray or tube if you like more smoke.  These are great.

    Timing check please?

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry I should have mentioned that they are spareribs. I wrote the post quickly during a break at work. I was planning on starting the brisket at about 8p the night before but a few things popped up that pushed the start time back. Again appreciate the response.

    Need Pellet Smoker Info/Advice

    I can't find the link from my phone but there is a pellet comparison out there somewhere where they compared heat, longevity, comsumption rate and ash amount for different brands. When I get in front of a computer next I will look for it.

    Need Pellet Smoker Info/Advice

    DJ, Sorry to catch you on both threads. Just an fyi, the GMG Jim Bowie is a closer comparison to the RecTec than the Daniel Boone.  Also  until Sunday GMG is having $100 off of either Daniel Boone or Jim Bowie grills.   Plus sometimes GMG dealers will throw in extras to get the business.  From...

    best way to shuck, clean corn on the cob

    I must be old-fashion.  I still do it the medieval way...  ...make the kids at the party do it and if they are not around, have the wife do it.

    Smoker Options & Best Practices

    I have not had a problem grilling on mine, but then I do not care about the sear marks.  If you care about searing marks, you can always get a set of GrillGrates.  Hope fully I won't get in trouble for this statement, but you can take a look a look at pelletheads.com where they have groups based...

    Smoker Options & Best Practices

    They do produce their own smoke. They startup by using an electric igniter to ignite the compressed wood pellets in the fire box. Once they are on fire the auger feeds pellets into the fire as needed to maintain temps. Some people feel that a pellet pooper do not produce enough flavor so they...

    Smoker Options & Best Practices

    I have  a GMG Jim Bowie with remote and I love it.  I had a bad controller card right out of the box, but my dealer and the great CS at GMG got me a new controller before the following weekend.  After that I spend some time getting it dialed in and seasoned.  Now it is running full steam ahead...

    Designing wireless Pellet hopper level/temp system

    My hope is to make something that can do the same as the Stoker (except the airflow) but a little more cost effective.  Parts right now are estimated at about $150.  Only down side is there is no easy way to say I want 3 temps probes and a pellet sonar or 4 temp probes, or to even change the...

    WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING, GRILLING, OR COOKING FOR MEMORIAL DAY. PLEASE POST YOUR PICS

    Just started raining here in sunny California. Now I am debating if I want to smoke a ball tip I found in the freezer and grill burgers for the wife or not. Not sure if I want to get my grills wet?

    WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING, GRILLING, OR COOKING FOR MEMORIAL DAY. PLEASE POST YOUR PICS

    I am not doing anything this year .  Money is a little tight so I had to make the decision to save money and get meat for my son's birthday party in a few weeks.
