    What to do with a bucket full of ash

    I just throw the ash from pellets in the grass for fertilizer. I read somewhere that it was good for the grass. I have a pellet stove in the garage for heating and have been dumping the ashes in the laws for 9 years.

    Got a good set of BBQ gloves?

    I like the looks of those Patriots 76. I have been using welding gloves for the BBQ and smoker. I have used the old weber BBQ to burn the smoker shelves clean, at around 700+ degrees the welding gloves were great for temp, but there is no dexterity with the welding gloves

    2nd time smoking cheese

    Does anyone know how long vacuum packed smoke cheese will last in the fridge? I have been doing about 4-6 lbs at a time. The longest any of the cheese has lasted was 5 weeks after smoking. It gets eaten up or given away.

    Newby saying hello

    Welcome, You are in the right place. I had the smokin fever for about 15 years and always want to upgrade but never could find the smoker that would do what I wanted without selling kids. This last year I finally built my own. The cool thing is that there is so many ways to build "YOUR" own...

    Cheese Smoking Help

    I also use to A-maz-n tray. I use cherry wood pellets. I have tried pellet dust and have trouble keeping it going. I have broken the pellets up into 1/4 inch lengths and that helps with slowing the burn/smoke. I agree the the tube puts out a lot more smoke/and heat. I am using a mailbox smoke...

    1951 GE Fridge Smoker finally working: Part1

    PART2: I found a SS electric box at the industrial scrap yard. My son cleaned up some welds on the outside of the box (looked like it had been repurposed before), and he add a grounding lug inside. I add the viewing window on the front. Did some more body work, and painted it. All of the...

    About to build Fridge smoker

    I am just finishing up a 1951 GE fridge. I may have gone a little overkill, but I used a normal large stove top element 2600W (240V). I put in a Auber Instrument SMD-200 (PID), with a 25Amp solid state relay(SSR). I can hold temps within a few degrees easily on my first test run. I tried...

    Just got a late 40s GE Fridge, have smoke stack questions.

    I have been reading the treads here for a couple of months. I have been smoking for about 15 years with a $200 propane Smoke Vault. I have made a few minor mods to help it smoke better. I have always wanted to get a better smoker, but I could not find a good smoker in my price range. I want...
