    Trying to build a smoker....help!

    Ya MG's probably right about the wattage of the element, just looked on some sites and they look to range from 2000W to 3500W depending on what model oven you have. I think your still ok. I'd try the element already in there and see if it works for you. Let us know how you make out.

    Trying to build a smoker....help!

    You may still be able to use the oven control too, just might need to rewire a little. Can you post the model # of the oven? I would think most ovens still control above 170°. So it would just take longer to reach with less power to the element. Above 170° it should still control and turn the...

    Trying to build a smoker....help!

    I'm not sure how many watts the element is in an electric oven, but if it is say 4000W (should be at least that) you might be ok. At 120V into it your looking at about 1100W. Here's a link to a pretty good ohms law calculator. http://www.the12volt.com/ohm/page2.asp If you can measure the...

    Apple score with Cutview!

    Nice score! I had luck this year too. Got a pickup load from a old timer that lost some apple trees in last winters ice storm. He needed someone to help clean up. So cut down the damaged limbs and trees, got to take the wood .

    Brined Vs. Un-Brined Chickens: A Taste Off!

    I wouldn't be using a regular trash bag, some manufacturers even use deodorizers, UV stabilizers or insecticides in their resins. Nothing we want in our food. Here's what Glad Bag people say, from their site under FAQ. Can I store food for a party in GLAD Trash Bags? No. GLAD Trash Bags...

    Ready to SCREAM

    Mod the air intake so you can close down the air flow. The coals will only burn as hot as the air flow lets them. This also keeps your chunks from catching fire. It's all about controlling how much air the coals get. If you open doors and let more air in it can actually get your fire burning...

    ribs possibly oversmoked

    It might have been the 4 hrs of Mesquite, next time try Hickory or Apple. Mesquite has way too sharp, bitter and heavy taste for my ribs.

    loss of a good man

    Didn't really know Terry other than reading his posts. You could tell he was a good guy and will be greatly missed. Our sympathies go out to his family.

    Smoke Daddy

    A ten minute soak in a bucket of hot soapy water, then hit it with a scotch brite pad seems to do ok. I would also think mineral spirits would clean it right up.

    Brined Vs. Un-Brined Chickens: A Taste Off!

    It will be interesting to see which they all went for. I do a couple yardbirds almost every weekend and don't brine. For juiciness, whole chickens don't need it if you pull at 165. On the other hand, I would agree you can add more flavor with a brine. Salt is a very tasty seasoning and brining...

    Crappy looking tomato plants

    Think you just need to wait it out and let things dry up. I went through this two years in a row. Lots of rain and lousy looking tomato plants. I only use containers now and the maters are happy again .
