    Looking into a new smoker.

    Hi there....just thought I'd give my 2 cents. I just upgraded from a Horizon Classic 16".  The Horizon was a great unit, but not quite big enough.  I did quite a bit of research before finally pulling the trigger today.  I considered pretty much every brand listed above and decided to go with...

    Thoughts on Insulated Firebox?

    Harley- Thanks for the input. After reading what your thoughts, I agree, and think i am going to go the same route.  I have been debating this for several days now.  I plan on having this cooker for quite a while and hate the thought of having any regrets.  I have read nothing but positive...

    Thoughts on Insulated Firebox?

    Hi Everyone, I sold my Horizon 16" Classic and I am looking at an upgrade.  I have been leaning towards a Peoria Cookers Backyard 24"x48" model. The Horizon was a touch on the small side for me, and I think that this Backyard model will give me all that I need.  Here is a link to the...

    Mother's Day Butt Smoke in Horizon with Q View

    Hi Lex, I only use a small batch of lump to start and get a good bed of coals going.  Then I use hardwood.  For the butts I used a mix of cherry and apple that I have on hand.  They are splits about 8-10 inches in length, no wider than a soda can.  Usually I have to add a split about every 45...
