Hi Friends,
I make beef jerky all of the time and I am looking for an alternative way to cure beer jerky other than using soy sauce.
I have to think there are other ways to make beef jerky safely other than a soy sauce based marinade.
I'm asking for 2 reason. 1, I want to try different...
Awesome. I am going to need to find someone that can weld one in for me. I ordered a new larger smoker but it would be nice to keep this for smaller projects. It's a great unit except for that one issue.
I couldn't agree more about price to quality. Look at his web site. Everything looks very impressive and I'm sure I will get many years of great BBQ from mine once I have it.
Let me say, look no further. After you talk to Craig for a few minutes you know you have someone that loves what they do. After hearing from everyone out here on SMF you know he makes a good product. I did a lot of research and price comparisons and no one can touch his prices. He is very...
The only thing I would mention is any other deflectors that I've seen were on a angle downward. Don't know if that will make a difference. How did it work for you?
I ha ve had mine for about 2 1/2 years. I had the leak between the cooking chamber and the FB also. I took it apart and put in gaskets. I also put gaskets on both doors and changed the thermostat.
The only thing I haven't addressed is putting a damper in the CC where the FB opening is. I...
Hi JJ,
I like the way you think but unfortunately my wife doesn't think that way. However, If my next Jerky event does as well as my last, I don't see a problem I think I will see that pig roaster sooner than later.
Thanks for letting me know about it.
You're not kidding. I originally told him when ever he can get to it. He said he would start it in a month and it will take a week. I was ok with that initially. Now that I have ordered exactly what I want, I want it for this weekend. lol
I told my wife if we can get it into the garage...
Hi All,
I just wanted post about yet another great experience with Lisa and Vacuum Sealers Unlimited. As I was putting in another order, I made a special request to Lisa for some historical info and I had it within minutes.
I couldn't recommend Vacuum Sealers more.
Hi Hardcore,
Thanks for the guideline above. I could live with smoking a 25 LB hog. I'll just invite less people. lol
I think I'm going with the 30W x 24D x 48H with 10 racks 3-4 inches apart. I'm just waiting for Craig to call back and I'm in!
thanks again for your reply.
I'm thinking you meant Cooker, not cooler, right?
BTW, I looked at that site. They aren't taking any orders till Sept 2017. I need it sooner. but thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks Fred.
I think I mentioned to you, I will be at a Craft Beer fest Tomorrow, Saturday at the field where Woodstock took place. Looking forward to seeing the area. The festival is at Bethel Woods Art center. It sounds like a fun time. They expect 2500 - 3000 folks to show up. It's a...
Thanks for the link. I think I called them. They were a bit pricey.
I've decided I'm going with Bell Fab out of Oklahoma. http://www.bellfab.com/
We're just trying to decide how big. Right now its 24 x 20 x 48. The next size jump is 30 x 24 X 48. Not sure if that is to big or not. 30 x...
I only need this for making beef jerky that I sell at local farmers markets and festivals and for back yard BBQ's. I won't be bringing it anywhere. Do you still think I need bigger? The one thing I am thinking is to get a combo. I mean a 36" x 24 vertical with a 24W x24D x 36H horizontal. I...
Well, after sending you the PM yesterday I called Craig from Bell Fab and he convinced me to get a vertical offset smoker which is what I already have. The one Craig mentioned is much larger of course. I really wanted something that could fit a small pig too but I think the vertical smoker he...
Joe! I think you are the guy that originally told me about Craig. I do know we have PMed recently and thanks. I'm still thinking of going bigger. He is so much more reasonable than anyone else and the quality comes through in the pictures and through SMF forums.
Hi all,
Those that remember me know I' have been asking tons of questions and threads about a new smoker.
Well I want to send a big thanks out to the person that suggested I call Craig at Bell Fab. I just got off the phone with Craig and he will be calling back to let me know when the...
