    1/4" vs. 3/8" vs. 1/2" for a stick burner?

    Jack, I know this is an old post but I am thinking about grabbing another grill made of 3/16th as well.  Since I live in Tulsa as well, I don't think we battle the coldness that some are referring to, but I would think the thinness of 3/16 would wear out fast.  Thoughts if you are still around?

    Chicken leg quarters

    I have yet to make successful smoked chicken using my electric smoker.  Like everyone the skin turns out rubbery.  I see where it is suggested to raise the temperature between 250-300 to get the chicken crisp.  Does that work for most of you?  Usually when smoking chicken with skin such as leg...

    Smokin-it 3D Impression

    I've had my Smokin-It 3D since Labor Day.  I have used it to smoke salmon on several occasions, briskets, ribs, pork shoulder, turkey and chicken legs.  It's fun to use and I do look forward to my next smoke.  But I bought the smoker for specific reasons to do bulk loads of smoking during the...

    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    I never wrap my meat even when using indirect fire. So the amount of bark will be relative. Besides the 3D is sealed so tight that you don't need to wrap. Technique goes out the window since there is more science than art involved. As for over smoking, I am talking about using pecan from the...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    Thanks again Buck.

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    Thanks Buck. After buying a Smokin-It last fall, I am going to weigh this decision a little more closely. Don't get me wrong the Smokin-It 3D does what it supposed to do as an electric smoker. But it comes no where near to competing with wood fire. I am always concerned about smoke flavor...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    After using wood and charcoal for decades I decided to go electric. I purchased a Smokin-It 3D last fall that is okay but that's another story. Does pellet grills give good smoke taste. Deciding on a DC, Rec Tech or some other pellet grill.

    Big Easy Frying Question

    Thanks Brian.  I can't remember the one time I did use it whether I used brown sugar in my dry rub, but I agree that it will char the skin.

    Big Easy Frying Question

    I know this is a smoking meats forum for the most part, but for Thanksgiving I plan to smoke a ham in my Smokin-It 3D while frying a turkey in my Char-Broil Infra Red fryer.  I purchased the fryer a year ago (maybe 2 at this point) and used it once. Since I am not using oil frying allows the...

    Temperature Probe Placement

    It's discouraged from opening the door after you begin smoking or to preheat the Smokin-It units so I place the probe in while raw.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I was hesitant in considering an electric smoker after years of using a wood burner.  I did a lot of research and decided on a Smokin-It.  Mine came in the week before Labor Day.  After seasoning it, I smoked some salmon and ribs.  I was not impressed with the lack of smoked flavor, but my...

    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    Jefinn, I am like many who have been smoking with charcoal and wood for years (decades).  If I were to buy an electric smoker it would be the 3D but I am just not sure I want to go that route as well.  I figured I could smoke salmon, turkeys and a brisket with it but just not convinced I am...

    Hello From Tulsa, OK

    Hi Folks, Born and raised in northeast Oklahoma so I get the best of both worlds cooking KC and Texas style.   I have owned some sort of grill or smoker since 1984.   Currently I smoke with a firebox unit and grille on another unit (both made out of heavy duty cast iron).  I love my smoker and...

    Vote for Best Electric Smoker

    Thanks again for the information.  I still think the Smokin-It 3D is the better based on the specs I have read.  That may still be how I want to go, but with this information I may at least look at the CookShack just on principle.

    Well, I did not know that.  I understood they were both built in the USA, Smokin-It in Ohio and Smokin Tex in... well Texas, Dallas area to be exact.

    Vote for Best Electric Smoker

    Unlike some here. I have used a charcoal grill of some type since the early 80s but went to straight wood for slow smoke and charcoal/wood for slow grilling, in the past 10 years.  My dad gave me an old smoker that he bought for scrap iron.  My brother asked me to grab a grill for him...
