    Modified Big Chief

    Good looking work on the mods. I'd love some details, like what wattage is that element? What are you using for heat adjustment? Have you used it since installing the new element? How did it perform? Inquiring minds want to know.

    AMNPS & Smoke Daddy Myths?

    Your experiments seem to be sound Tom. I have been using my AMNPS outside of my smoker, and both 'containers' I used for it (one a welded box, the other an old ammo can) have a thick accumulation of creosote on the ceiling of the box and about 1/3 of the way down the sides. The rest of the sides...

    7 Pound Boston, second ever attempt. W/ Q-View

    That's got to be disappointing, but at 175° it is cooked to a safe temp to eat. Why not just say "oops", slice that hunk of pig, and fix a couple of big juicy pork sammies? Has to be delicious!

There were several others that contributed goods and time to make this another successful...

    Ideas for a used MES

    I owned an MES 30 a couple of years ago and had the same thing happen. It worked perfectly for about a year, then suddenly stopped. I also tried to get support from the mfg. and was offered a 'discount' off their price for a replacement (the cost would have been a little more than they sold for...

    Insulation mod for Bradley Digital Smoker?

    I'm not that familiar with your smoker, but I have used a product called Reflectix on my former electric home made rig. You can see it on the Lowe's and Home Depot web sites, but not sure what equivilent stores you have up there. Currently I'm building a UDS and plan to use a welder's blanket...

    2nd Annual North Carolina Smokers Gathering April 26th, 27th and 28th 2013 (Now with lots of pix)

    Scott... smoker not done, so I'll be there early Sat w/ biscuits for breakfast (but no other goodies) and a cake for later. Sounds like there's plenty of "biscuit fillings" being brought,  so breakfast should be great! See you on Saturday.

    What is "real BBQ"?

    I'm certainly no authority on the formal definition of "BBQ", but to me it means closely monitoring both the apparatus (my smoker) and the product (whatever unfortunate animal part currently in the apparatus) closely while being willingly excused by the boss (my lovely bride of 35 years) from...
