    Mailbox mod not working

    OK so I did some testing this morning.  The chimney top vent is wide open. Put the smoking tube in the MB, closed MB door, left all three holes open. Opened the lower door of smoker and saw plenty of smoke coming into the smoker. Closed the lower door, smoke came out the top chimney nicely. ...

    Mailbox mod not working

    Right now I am just using part of the existing side vent that the manufacturer of the smoker installed. I just taped the duct line to the smoker and then blocked off the other half of the vent on the smoker. I have not yet cut a hole in the smoker to actually install the duct into.  I'm guessing...

    Chimney vent was all the way open as I usually keep it 90% of the time.

    Yep I have three holes in the MB similar to yours. Three 3/4" holes. So you think I need to cut that 3" hole into the smoker itself to feed the smoke into and forget trying to feed it thru one portion of the vent?  Holes in MB to close to each other?  Also, I didn't note that I had the pellet...

    Mailbox mod not working

    Yesterday I decided to attempt the mailbox mod for my smoker. I use a pellet tube and when it is placed inside the smoker, it tends to be a pain for the reason that I believe the burner consumes the oxygen and thus keeps the pellets from really smoking. So I did the research and decided on the...

    ET-732 transceiver issues

    I have the ET-732 that is probably 5 years old or so. Went to use it today and batteries were dead so I replaced them. Unit powered up but non of the front buttons work any more. I can't set temps, turn on/off, etc. Are there transceivers available or do I need to buy an entire new unit?  IF I...

    Double smoked spiral sliced ham

    Seeing as the smoker temps are close to the temps used in heating in the oven I'm guessing the time factor is going to be close to the times listed on the packaging.  So 15-20 minutes per pound.

    Smithfield ham

    Thanks for the pointers.  Saw a few more posts here about doing exactly what I want to do.  We shall see how it turns out.  Plan on doing a spritzing of apple juice with a little spiced rum in it during the smoke.

    Smithfield ham

    Wife picked up a Smithfield spiral cut ham and I was thinking of putting it on the smoker for Easter dinner. Any direction advice on this?  Normally she puts it in the oven to warm/cook it.

    Is 90 minutes too long to rest a turkey?

    Wrap it good with foil and then wrap in a heavy towel or blanket.  I had mine wrapped up like that for over an hour and it was still nice and warm.

    Spatchcock cooking times?

    Well mine finished up about an hour ago.  Wow that was fast at around 300 degrees.  Wrapped it in heavy foil and wrapped in a towel for now.  Looks like I'll be eating a little earlier than expected. No problem with that!

    Spatchcock cooking times?

    I have about a 14lb bird, spatchcoked, in smoker @295 since around 8am and I am at 160 already.  Very fast cook time so far.

    Can't keep smoker flame lit.

    You're the second person I have seen here with that style needle valve that has had problems.  I am wondering if that style is not correct for the application.  Yes wind on a really low flame is going to obviously cause issue too.  If you ever wanted or needed to reconsider the needle valve...
