    Ready to give up - change my mind

    I haven't owned a Masterbuilt propane smoker, but I did own a Camp chef smoke vault that used propane. The temp gauge also sucked. I had problems keeping the temp down, and getting the meat dried out. I replaced the needle valve, the regulator to get the nice minimal flame. I did have to make...

    Low or no sodium recipes

    I have not tried to cure anything yet. I am hoping to attempt jerky this summer. I have to be on a fairly low salt diet. I tempt to stay on a 1.5gram (1500mg ) daily diet. This is great so when I go out to eat all the darn salt does does effect my negativity. I was just checking out cure...

    Home-built electric smoker (UPDATE)

    I started with the 8" element first, and bought it from Walmart online https://www.walmart.com/ip/Surface-Element-Replaces-Ge-Wb30T10074-8-In/24538856 with a 25Amp SSR from Auberins. I had run 12 Gauge wiring from the controller to the bottom of the smoker where I had a junction box. When I...

    Home-built electric smoker (UPDATE)

    DIYerDave, I built something similar. I took a 1951 GE fridge and turned it into a smoker. I Used the Auber SMD-200 PID controller with a 2600 watt 220V stove top element. I use a mailbox smoke generator. Since I am finishing up the year, I just counted 29 smokes this year. From cold smoke...

    PFAs .... Flourocarbons including Telfon

    I have to laugh, we have been told for the last 50 years lard, bacon grease, butter, and eggs clots the arteries. Since I went Keto and stopped watching fats, I have lost 50 pounds and my glucose, lipids, triglycerides, and blood pressure are so much better since I have minimized carbs

    PFAs .... Flourocarbons including Telfon

    I just saw the movie "Dark Waters" and was dumb founded. It was a reenactment of a journey that a lawyer undertook to sue Dupont over PFOAs and the destruction that it had done to a community. This really got me thinking. PFAs are a group of over 5,000 similar chemicals that are used in...

    Winco Pork Butts $.98/lb

    Darn, I was at Winco yesterday to get veggies for Pork Chile Verde (already smoked shoulders, using left over pulled pork). I'am about 45 miles from Winco, but I'm heading back into town Tuesday and will have to check that out. I am planning a Turkey for Xmas, but it always good to have a...

    How good *is* an electric smoker?

    I built an electric smoker from a fridge last year. I love it and my wife loves that I am cooking some good stuff. It is great with a PID being able to hold tight temps. I have tried everything from Cold smoking to Pizza. OK, the Pizza was kind of a Pain in the Arse, but everything else came...

    Kuma no long makes pellet grills.

    I wish I could say there is a clear winner. My price range is right at the $2,000 mark. I want to be able to smoke as well as grill. I want something in the 600 sq" of main cooking area. I also want this to hopefully replace my 20 year old weber Genesis (with a custom design wood chip...

    Kuma no long makes pellet grills.

    Sorry I didn't save my source material references. I really did not plan on publishing. This was research for my self, attempting to weigh as many know variables. Such as customer reviews, blogs, both on products and the company, metals/thickness, designs, service, etc.... Part of this...

    STORE BOUGHT RUBS

    I also have to make my own salt free rubs due to health issues. The last year has been a journey, but has been rewarding at the same time. I also make low salt BBQ sauce, and low salt marinades. With all of the herbs and spices I do not even miss the salt. I used Jeff's recipes and Chef JJs...

    Pellet Grill in the Rain

    wow I hope pellet grills aren't just fair weather machines. I designed the electronics on my fridge smoker (220V) to take the rains in the Northwest. We should have 1/2 of rain on Monday when I smoke about 22 pound of pork cushions.

    New to smoking, got a Smoke Vault 18

    That is a great little smoker. I had one at least 15 years. It even lived with a tree falling on part of the unit. It does take some trial and error. I did a lot of pork ribs, pork tenderloins and turkeys. Good luck and have fun.

    Sesame ginger teriyaki wings and football!

    I used your recipe this weekend on 12 Chicken Legs. I made the sauce without adding the sesame seed. I injected the sauce into the legs and let set for a day. I then smoked them with 1/2 hickory 1/2 mesquite. Did a cold smoke for 90 minutes and then cranked up the heat to 250 degrees. I then...
