    Who uses controllers?

    I'm at it again. This time I put a new gasket on the firebox door and loaded everything as normal. I had an overshoot due to the firebox door coming open a couple of times and now it seems to have lined out since getting that problem fixed. WiFi is now hooked up and logging on my laptop with...

    This is how I usually load the basket.

    Who uses controllers?

    I usually make a level basket and leave room for a chimney load of lit charcoal on the side of my inlet. I've tried the minion method and it never got hot enough. Are you saying start the fire opposite of the intake and see if that works. Here is a picture of my rig.

    Chipotle cheddar sausage

    Thanks for the encouragement. The sausage was a home run with the guys at work yesterday. They were asking where I bought the sausage so they could buy some themselves.

    Who uses controllers?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try it again this weekend. I think I'll choose a piece of meat that its,ik if it over shoots some and just let the stoker do its thing without me having to interfere. This way maybe I can get a better idea of how it works and also let the stoker learn my pit...

    Chipotle cheddar sausage

    Thanks! It's a reverse flow vault type smoker. Not sure how to link it but there is a thread about it in here. I tried using a stoker to control temp but I think it caused me more grief than doing without it.

    Chipotle cheddar sausage

    Thanks. I've smoked summer sausage and snack sticks but this was my first batch of link. I usually make my link sausage fresh and wanted to try something different.

    Who uses controllers?

    How was your learning curve? I started using a stoker ii yesterday and did much more work then I did without it. I have a vault type smoker and it over shot the temperature past the point of getting it back down. I did the last half of my sausage cook yesterday with the door cracked open because...

    Questions About LEM Products

    I have a big bite #8 and it does everything I need it to do. We process 4 to 6 deer per year and several pork butts to mix with ground venison. The only problem I have is I keep it in the garage and it doesn't like cold weather. It trips the safety switch a few times but does fine after it warms up.

    Chipotle cheddar sausage

    I am somewhat new to sausage making and yesterday I did my first ever batch of smoked sausage links. Last year my wife bought a Gander Mountain chipotle kit and I blew off making it till my neighbor gave me a pack of chipotle venison sausage and I really liked it. I mixed it 50/50 venison/pork...

    Smoking sausage with charcoal

    I can adjust the temp but it takes too long to warm up. I'm hoping the stoker will raise temp faster because it takes over an hour to go from 120 to 180.

    Smoking sausage with charcoal

    Does anyone use charcoal and wood to smoke sausage? I have a large insulated cabinet smoker and have smoked snack sticks German and summer sausage in it. They come out ok but I have a hard time ramping up the Temps like I'm supposed to. I just purchased a stoker, one because I wanted one, but...

    Another guru question???

    After some thought I ended up buying a stoker due to its ability to run multiple pits. Can't wait to get it in and play next weekend.
