    Reheating fatty

    What I've done that seems to work well as I smoke my fatties the night before and then bring them into work the next day. I put it on a raised cookie cooling rack on a cookie sheet in the oven at about 200 degrees for about 45-60 minutes then broil the last couple of minutes to crisp up the...

    GrillPro or Outdoor Leisure Smoke Hollow?

    I have a SH and love it. Of course, I've only used it twice so far (fattie smoking!) I have not had any temperature issues with mine and am impressed with the quality construction, etc. I picked mine off the OL website for $149.99 shipped and included a free cover for the smoker.

    Smoke Hollow smoker

    See this thread for other SH owners - http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=84399 I just finished my 2nd Fattie in it tonight. Held good steady temps and finished it up in about 2 1/2 hours. So far I love my SH. ~V

    Possible new smoker

    That's not a bad price at all. I paid $149.99 for a 30" SH (#5) directly from Smoke Hollow themselves (included S/H and a nice cover though). So far I love mine. I think it's well built, smokes well, and does the job. Just doesn't have the 'marketing' out there like the GOSM and others. ~Allen

    Day after Thanksgiving Fattie (My 1st one!) w/QVIEW!

    Thanks for the tips and well wishes. It was super good. What made it even better was frying it for a snack later on! I finished it up tonight after frying it for a few minutes. Mmmm mmm mmm good! ~Allen

    Day after Thanksgiving Fattie (My 1st one!) w/QVIEW!

    Had an absolute blast making and smoking a fattie today. I was so impatient. Kept wandering outside to look at the smoker ot make sure all was well. Even opened the smoker once or twice (once to add more chips). I know, bad bad, but I was like a kid in a candy store! Anyways, it was super yummy...

    1 or 2 lb's for a Fattie?

    So, I'm about to embark on an appetizer fattie for tomorrow. Should I make it with 1 lb of JD sausage or 2 lb's? Filling will be pretty simple - probably some cheese and mushrooms and maybe some garlic/onion. Thoughts? ~V

    Upstate South Carolina Wood sources?

    Cool. That's the idea I was wondering about. I'll start giving all the local orchards a buzz. We do have a bit of Pecan around here as well. :) My smoker is the Smoke Hollow #3. Can't wait to get some good fruit wood in it too! ~Allen

    Calling all Smoke Hollow owners!

    Hey, how many Smoke Hollow owners are here? I've done some searches and haven't found a lot of threads/posts from SH owners. I have a SH #3 (30", Model # 30169G). So far I like it, although I've only seasoned it. The construction quality seems solid, has nice space in it, etc. If you are a SH...

    Fatty on the horizon.

    Well, swung by the local grocery store on way home tonight. Picked up 2 - 1lb JD normal sausage, 1 block of sharp cheddar, and 1 pack of bacon. I'm planning on rolling a fatty this week sometime. Cannot wait! Might keep it simple - cheese on interior or something only. Qview to follow...

    Upstate South Carolina Wood sources?

    Greetings! As I look to become a smoke master down the road I'm already seeing a need. That need is for vast amounts of quality wood. :) I live in Greer, SC (Upstate). I'm surrounded by Peach orchards (5-10 minutes away), Apple orchards (hour away in NC), and who knows what else. Also, being...

    Stoked and ready to go!

    Well, smoker is assembled and 'seasoning' as I type this. Right now using some Mesquite from Home Depot and doing a burn-in for about an hour (per directions). Man, with nothing in the smoker it still smells really really good. So far pretty impressed with the Smoke Hollow. It's holding steady...

    What is everyone's thoughts on brats? I love grilling brats on my grill. Smoking..how long would that take? 2 hours or so? Man..I'm starved thinking about all this eating goodness.

    Callin all Filipinos or those that know Lechon or Lechon Kawali!

    In the Philippines (grew up there) we have a wonderful wonderful dish called Lechon Kawalil (or just Lechon for short). It's pork that's crispy, juicy, and oh so succulent. The basic recipe involves deepfrying, etc. but I have also seen it cooked via a whole pig on a spit, etc. Anyone here try...
