    what should I get? (Royall 1000 or BGE)???

    Todd...I totally understand about them being very different...ALL of my units are..I currently have a MES 30, a WSM 18.5 and 22.5....and now looking to add one of the two of these to my arsenal of smokers. Don't ask me why, I just like smokers. :) The BGE comes with a rolling cradle, place...

    what should I get? (Royall 1000 or BGE)???

    Hey guys......Ok, I have an opportunity locally, to pick up a couple of smokers both at really good prices.  I don't need both, so not sure which one to get.  I have a friend of mine selling his large BGE, no cracks, everything in good condition for $400........then there is a guy locally who is...

    Cinsidering a UDS build: Lined Vs Unlined

    I'd highly recommend the unlined barrel if you can get one.  Otherwise, take the lined barrel to a sand blaster and have the sand blast that liner out..that's what I did. Dan

    Jerky Help

    Chef Jimmy...I couldn't give him a "quantity" as he only said a "batch" of jerky...so there's the variable.  Which is why I left out the amount of citric acid to use. :) Dan

    Electric Smokers and Smoke (or lack thereof)

    yep, at least you've learned your lesson NOT to use lumps or chunks....Masterbuilt recommends chips.  I have found (in my 4 years of MES ownership) that chips burn and smoke just fine, but just don't last long.  So the MES does do what it advertises to do, but you'll still be A LOT better off...

    Auber vs iQue for the WSM 22.5

    for the 18.5 you probably just used too many coals....with the WSM it only takes a few to get it started..then slowly let your temps rise then shut down your dampers. and let your guru take over.

    First Try at a Fattie Questions

    Ewe...I don't think I'd ruin it with grits...but I'd do something totally cajun, like a gumbo mix inside the gator. Maybe make a roux, and Cook garlic, onions, celery and okra, stirring constantly until golden brown in melted butter...then Season with parsley, thyme, bay leaves, salt, cayenne...

    Questions on my new MES 30"

    +3 for the A Maze N smoker...I use it in my MES all the time, and it works beautifully. Forget using that stinkin' built in chip tray.

    My PID install

    So..how does this connect to your MES..and does this take the place of the MES digital control on top of the MES?  I'd love to see some more photos on how this custom PID is connected to your MES..as it sounds like it keep a rock solid temp..which is what I have never had with my MES...it swings...

    Help with new Masterbuilt 30 inch

    Amazon is very good at replacing damaged product.  I love using Amazon for that fact alone..whats even better, they won't ask for your old/broken one back..so you'll have two...that way you got a backup for parts, or fixing and selling or whatever.

    BGE clone...super cheap..I think

    steamaway...yep it is everybit as heavy as the BGE.  In fact the lid has these little "spring loaded" jobs that cushion the lids closing...because it's so heavy.  I don't see any differences between this unit and the LBGE...other than the rolling stand on this one seems a bit lighter weight..but...
