    Charcol to electric smoker - right procedure?

    I probably didn't explain myself very well. You need to have 'some' air moving through the smoker at all times to keep the smoke from becoming stale and/or  forming creosote on your food. That's where the experimenting comes in. I would  suggest you open one top vent a 'little' and leave it...

    Charcol to electric smoker - right procedure?

    Both vents need to remain open to keep the smoke moving past the food. Since this was a charcoal unit the vents are probably larger than you need, so you'll have to experiment with them to find an ideal setting. Insulation is key in helping an electric unit maintain temp without having the...

    Hello from South Carolina!

    Out in the county north of Charlotte, near Concord Mills and Charlotte Motor Speedway. Sounds like you're an experienced smoker, and I think you're going to love it here. These folks are great!

    Welcome neighbor! Happy to have you here. There are a couple of ways to cut the heat back on an ECB. If you have a few bucks a router speed controller would add the ability to reduce the power to the element. Have a 100' extension cord? Run your smoker through that to add resistance to the...

    PLEASE HELP!! SMOKING A BOSTON BUTT FOR JULY 4TH FOR FAMILY!!! ADVICE PLEASE!!!

      If you set aside half a day or so to season that new smoker you can learn a lot about how well it retains heat and how to adjust the vents. When I had an offset I used charcoal for fuel (Kingsford was my preference) and added wood chunks for the smoke flavor. The easiest way I found to light...

    Review: Maverick Wireless BBQ Thermometer Set - Maverick ET73

    My mistake... I was talking about the ET-732. Guess I didn't read the title closely enough. I did have a 73, and the range was less, but it certainly didn't lose signal as soon as the OP described. I still think he should see if he can exchange it, or better yet return it and get the 732. By...

    Review: Maverick Wireless BBQ Thermometer Set - Maverick ET73

    I would agree with you on the short sensor wires. You can buy replacements that are 6' long, but that's an extra expense. Setting temps should be a bit more user friendly too, but I personally haven't found that a huge drawback. My main reason for commenting however is your issue with the...

    The No-Weld Double-Barrel Smoker

    I saw that too... great instructable. He had a few good ideas on design change too. Not sure I'm sold on using aluminum where he did though. Wish he was on here so we could get a report after a few smokes.

    Hello from Charlotte NC

    Welcome neighbor! Glad you found us here and hope you get your smoker issue resolved real soon. I have never used your model, but to use charcoal and control the temp you will have to have an air inlet that you can control, as well as an equally sized vent in the top. Not sure a cabinet made...
