    How can I test how hot my smoker gets?

    Hey Up in Smoke, small world! Thanks, that's a good idea. What do you mean by a tabletop burner? Like a hot plate? I might have to give that a try.

    How can I test how hot my smoker gets?

    Thanks Cheech. I don't really know how to do that. And again, this new smoker is probably going to be around $125, so I figure I'll probably spend half that doing a temp mod on this one, and it is still rickety. I'll check it out though. Thanks.

    How can I test how hot my smoker gets?

    Thanks Bill. No, there is no temp control. You plug it in and whatever it throws out is what you get. Yeah, the manual is pretty useless. I think I am going to go with a new one. I figure I need to be able to hold steady at 200-225 for a lot of meats or I am just not going to get the results I...

    How can I test how hot my smoker gets?

    Thanks Gary, I know what you are saying. Trust me, I don't jump into anything anymore when it comes to $. Seems like there is never enough :roll: I've been doing well with this one. Definitely learning. I was thinking of doing a mod to let heat escape through the top or buying a different...

    How can I test how hot my smoker gets?

    Hi Bill. Yes, I believe it is dead on. I know this smoker runs hot. Everything I cook is done faster than what it normally calls for. When I made salmon I think the recipe I followed said 220 for 1.5 hours and mine was done in close to 45 minutes. So it is too hot I think. Oh well, gives me...

    How can I test how hot my smoker gets?

    Tried it out this weekend. Seems like with the water pan, I am holdong steady at around 264. Without the pan it is cranking up to 318. I think I am looking into getting another smoker. I like how stuff has been turning out but from what I have been reading, 264 is too hot. I know the salmon...

    Fatties???

    You guys won't beleive this. I did a beef roast today and it turned out great. When I pulled it off, I remembered the fatty I bought, so I threw it on. Came out and flipped it after 1.5 hours, looked fantastic. Came out to pull it off 1.5 hours later and realized the smoker was no longer hot...

    Sirloin Tip roast

    Took CajunSmokers advice and smoked this to 160 (156) then foiled it with apple juice until it hit 175-180. I sprayed with apple juice every hour. Used a spicy mustard to rub with plenty of Cavender's Greek seasoning. Turned out great! This was my wife's favorite meal yet. The bark was...

    Using a smoker box in my electric smoker

    I bought a smoker box to use in my smoker, but then couldn't because there really wasn't any room without laying the heavy cast iron box directly on the element. I didn't want to do that. I bought one of those jalapeno popper grill holders at Wal-Mart for 5 bucks because it looked like the...

    What should I do with this venison?

    I grilled the deer steaks this weekend and they were really good. I did them kind of last minute so I ended up defrosting in the microwave then I soaked them in italian dressing for 3 hours or so. Then I cooked them on the grill with some hamburgers. They really turned out good. I still have...

    Fatties???

    I've seen people mention fatties about 100 times on here so I figure I am missing out on something :D Let me get this straight. You just take a package of Jimmy Dean sausage, open it up and put it on the smoker. Smoke it for 3 hours and flip it half way. Is that it? Does anything else need...

    Smoking a turkey breast???

    OK, thanks for all the tips guys. I'd say I am all set, just need to get the turkey breast :D I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Smoking a turkey breast???

    OK thanks. Bill- You are probably right about the boneless, I didn't think about that. I just pictured a hunk of turkey in the package but I'm sure they just got rid of the appendages. Guess I'll know when I buy it :D So does that mean the rib cage and everything is still there? Should I...

    Smoking a turkey breast???

    OK, thanks guys. No mustard. I will try butter and lemon pepper. I am smoking on a Brinkmann electric gourmet, same as my avatar pic. I don't know what the heat gets to, I am going to test it soon with a potato. I don't have any temp control. I'll test it with and without the water pan. ...

    Smoking a turkey breast???

    Hi all, Last time I was at Sam's club a frozen Honeysuckle turkey breast caught my eye. Didn't grab a hold of one but I would say they are uncooked and weigh around 5 or 6 pounds. I was thinking that would be good for me to try smoking instead of a whole turkey. I was going to coat it with...

    Successful smoked lamb!!!

    Thanks Dutch! I want to give that red sauce a try sometime, really sounds good. My wife already has me lined up to smoke another one next month, maybe I'll try it then. I think I will try cherry or apple wood or maybe both instead of the hickory wood. Maybe I'll get some maple also, I think...

    How can I test how hot my smoker gets?

    Hello all, I have the Taylor probe thermometer shown on this site. I'm using the Brinkmann electric gourmet smoker. It's ok, but there is no temp control. So I am always wondering what temp it is putting out. What is the best way to test it? I think I read something on here about putting...
