    I'm starting springtime work on the motorhome today. I sense a getaway in the near future. Future sessions will be sausage, ribs, and bacon. Then back on the WallyWill in the fall

    Sure, it would have been cheaper to just buy a little chief but why do things the easy way?

    Summer sausage in the oven

    This batch is gone. I'll be making some more soon. This is a quick and easy recipe that turned out great. I just finished installing an electric element to my smoker and I have temp control from 110 - 170 now and will be working with that soon. I'm thinking of a 3 pound batch next time, adding...

    I installed the electric element in my char-broil today and man, it works great. Got consistent low temps from 110-ish to 170-ish, mainly from damper adjustments. I barely turned the element on low. I still have the propane stuff ready to be hooked up when I need 250 degree+ temps. I installed...

    Well, I've done a bunch of modifications to the char-broil and I can now keep a steady range of 255-265 degrees for however long I need to. That's still too hot for winter/summer sausage but should work for everything else. Maybe I'll just buy a big chief electric for sausage and trout.

    BTW, where did you get the extra racks? Char-broil sells 1 rack for 40 bucks.

    I like that modification a lot. If I can't get my smoker down to low temps with the mods I have done, I will look into an electric element
