    Loss of Temperature

    Definitely not wind or temp. I was wondering with everything I described above if it could be the regulator because I get quite a but of heat when I put the trays out of the box No wind and very warm temps on multiple attempted setups

    Loss of Temperature

    All, leaving the smoker alone for a LONG time I am at 277 with no wood or meat on the highest heat setting available I eventually got up to 310 degrees by COMPLETELY leaving it alone but we all know wood needs to be changed and meat brushed, etc This is definitely different behavior so...

    Loss of Temperature

    Hi, and thanks for the response. 1) I AM using water but always have so something has changed in the equipment?? I can get to about 270 with no wood or meat but that's with the flame on high. When working well, I can get to this temp if I am accidentally too far past medium and that's with...

    I have pulled the water pan forward just a little and an up around 270 Again, on high heat I used to be able to get MUCH hotter than this under almost any setting for the vents and the front dial never past medium. I'm struggling on high right now so something has clearly changed but I doubt it...

    Loss of Temperature

    Hello, all Just wanted to get some thoughts. I have a Smoke Vault propane smoker. Last time I tried to smoke ribs, I could not get the temp above 225 degrees with the propane. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the regulator to no avail and after completion I just kind of shut it down I'm...

    Do you put anything in the turkey cavity?

    I have my brine planned but was unsure about whether I should stuff the turkey with fruits or onions when I smoke with applewood Plan was to go 250 to 300 depending on my mood to 165 inside the breast and baste with apple juice once in a while. Seems like last year I stuck Apple, orange and...

    Do I need fresh ribs for smoking?

    I have moved to the Winston Salem NC area and have only found meat stores with ribs that were vacuum packed from an outside company. These are likely stored in a water and salt solution. Should I search extra hard for fresh ribs or does it not matter that much if I am smoking?
