    Any one else grow their own HOTS?

    Dyce, That looks and sounds great! I grow my own too and dry them, although my tastes might not run as hot as yours! I use alot of dried peppers to add taste and heat because I get tired of the vinegar in most of the sauces. I've tried my hand at sauces and would like to learn more, especially...

    This probably doesn't even really count...

    Just an idea to share about getting meat ground. It sounds like you're buying individual roasts to grind. Why not try asking your butcher to grind them for you? Most places are more than happy to "customize" whatever you need while you wait. For example, our local store always is glad to cut up...

    Oven smoker conversion, have a question

    I'm a newbie to all of this, but am thinking of doing an oven conversion myself. I may be wrong, but with the side fire box, couldn't you just leave the main oven heat off and use it as a cold smoker without adding the second box? I want to learn more about the smoke generators. If I understand...

    Jimi, Glad you're enjoying your MES! I'm like you in the fact that I could fix a problem as well.

    smoke hollow 30" electric smoker

    I'm really beginning to wonder if the answer might be to build my own. It seems almost every smoker that someone talks about has some sort of issue that requires either a modification or dealing with someone's customer service department. Is it too much to expect that something works as it...

    newb question

    I'm new to smoking, but am really intrigued by the home made ones on here! These old conversions are cool! So far I haven't seen anyone post on how much a person could sink into one of these? Is it a money saving thing....a larger smoker....or just the satisfaction of doing it yourself? You've...

    smoke hollow 30" electric smoker

    I was looking at them at Gander today. Why is the electric isulated and the propane just a tin box? I would think no insulation would make it harder to keep temps consistant. I'm debating on the smoke hollow versus masterbuilt. I know the digital mes has it's pros but is much more expensive. I...

    newbie

    SeenRed, First of all, thanks for the welcome! I'm not opposed to propane, but my concern is the fuel cost. How many hours per tank do you get? I also read about mods needed so the flame doesnt go out with a breeze. I guess they all have good and bad points. If you dont mind, give me the pros...
