    Insulating a Propane Smoker

    I got my insulation at an Ace hardware store.  You need to go back to the plumbing area.  The insulation is stored on a roll and they will cut off the amount you need.

    Adding Charcoal in the Wood Pan

    I agree with you guys.  I found this to be of help to me with my propane smoker.  There are different techniques and ideas for everyone.  I haven't used any charcoal with my smoker, but this does open up the possibility that I will.

    Canadian Bacon First Time - I'm Hooked!

    Thanks. I was going by the comments I found on the forum.  You are right though.  I forgot about what has come out about pork recently,  I read that but it didn't click this time.  Actually, at 145 the bacon would not be as dry.  I am looking forward to making more soon.  My wife and I may be...

    First Time Smoking Turkey Legs

    My mother in law put some turkey legs in my freezer and wanted me to try smoking them.  I told her I didn't have a lighter but maybe I could put them in my smoker and see what came out.  On Wednesday morning I put them in a ziplock bag with a lemon pepper marinade.  About mid afternoon, I took...

    Insulating a Propane Smoker

    The slow rise in temperature is normal especially for a big hunk of meat like the venison.  On the large pieces of meat such as your venison, briskets, pork butts, etc., you will invariably hit a stage where it seems like the meat temperature will just not go up.  This is normal.  This is the...

    Insulating a Propane Smoker

    Our temperature gets down below zero at times.  The actual insulation is only about 1/8 inch thick.  Without it I wouldn't be able to smoke very well and then what would I do?
