    Extremely Tough And Dry!

    Its a Smokin-It smoker which is real similar to the Cookshack/Smokin-Tex. I don't know if they're made by the same company or the two are knockoff Cookshacks. I saw a wiring diagram of the Tex and it was almost identical to the Smokin-Its with the exception of the power indicator light on the...

    Looks good! Now I'm thinking about poaching a roast!

    Extremely Tough And Dry!

    Not sure what happened, I even had a can of water in there for moisture! Haven't tasted them yet, can't even slice them. ;) Heatsinks for autotuning my PID. After procrastinating about it for almost a year I finally got it hooked up yesterday and autotuned tonight. I bypassed the controller...

    First time sous vide

    You could but I wouldn't worry about it myself. You can put plastic wrap over the top as mentioned to avoid water loss or if you decide you're going to sous vide a lot snag one of the Rubbermaid containers and an Everie collapsible lid at Amazon.

    Winter in Calgary makes me smoke meat indoors!!!! lol and true

    Do you use it in the house or garage? The one review I read said that it would set off a smoke detector. I have an Oster smoker/roaster oven that I impulse bought yrs ago that works well but its definitely an outside rig.

    Christmas-New Years -2020 Discounts!

    Oh that's no problem at all! I linked straight to the seasoning pages rather than the home page anyway. I'm not sweating $3-4. :emoji_smile: I'll keep it in mind next Black Friday though and stock up!

    Owens North Country SS/W Cheese

    Watching. I just ordered some of their regular SS seasoning and was wondering how the North Country is.

    Antique cook books for Christmas

    I love old stuff like this! I've got my grandfathers "Memorandum" pocket journal that dates from 1902-1906. He was running fish traps from an island on the Columbia near Skamokawa WA and in the off season contracting to sell fire wood to the railroad (for their steam locomotives.) Employees were...

    Smokintex temperature fluctuation

    Theres a guy at the SmokinTex forum that had swings of 85* before he installed a PID! I think I would have returned the smoker or at least had the thermo replaced. I knew about the temp swings before I bought my SI but hadn't really given a thought to making sausage. Smokin-It has a line of...

    Pocket knife suggestions

    It seems like Benchmades like to wander. I carried a Griptilian with the sheepsfoot blade for 10-12 yrs until I lost it at work. I think someone found it and I hope they're giving it a good home. (sniff) I've been carrying a cheap Kershaw Cryo since and I do like the assisted opening for those...

    Smokintex temperature fluctuation

    The SmokinTex and Smokin-It smokers do have temp swings. My Smokin-It swings almost exactly 25* which doesn't effect most things like ribs, shoulders etc but would be a problem for sausage. As far as I know the only way to avoid it is to install/use a PID that'll hold temp within a couple...

    New Smoker

    You wouldn't have to add wood to the Smokin-It/Smoking Tex smokers unless you're doing an extremely long smoke. They use a surprisingly small amount of wood for a long smoke ie butt or shoulder. I've got the smallest Smokin-It, the #1 and I'll burn 3-3 1/2 ozs for an 8-10 hr smoke and its still...

    Butterball Turkey Breast Roast

    Steve H just did one that looked really good. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/butterball-boneless-breast.292765/

    ButterBall boneless breast.

    I checked some recipes on the net and settled on 350 and figured 2 hrs on the time. Narrowly averted disaster when I checked the IT at 1 hr and 40 minutes. I think I was only 5* away from being done and it only took another 5 minutes. It cooked a lot faster than I expected! When I do another I...

    Air fryers

    I bought it a few weeks ago and you're right it does everything well. Sister was looking for one at the time too and she bought the Cosori after checking mine out. So far other than reheating and little stuff I've done chicken wings, pizza, dehydrated tomato's and rotisseried a boneless turkey...
