    Multiple Racks of Ribs affect Smoke time?

    First, I use a small gas smoker. As long as there is still good flow of smoke and room for the heat to circulate I can do two or three racks at once. My grills are so small that I have to cut the racks in half to fit. I have also used bacon hooks and hung them for smoking. Just use good sense...

    Making little smokies

    Hi Ronnie, welcome aboard for the addiction of your life. For my sausages I use the cellulose casings for skinless hot dogs. The first batch of casings I found on Ebay, as I remember they were 21 mm and later I ordered from a butcher supply and got 26 mm. I like them because they twist well...

    I dont know how to SMOKE BACON???

    I agree that bacon should be smoked whole. But also It is used in the fatties that some like. It is sausage wrapped in bacon and smoked. The slices are too thin by themselves as well as they would render out a lot of the fat.. Just search for fatties and you'll find a lot of ideas. GeneK

    30" smoke hollow

    Pilot, I keep the top one open all the way and the lower ones closed down. I use the Amazen tube pellet smoke generator and get about 5 hours of smoke. Also I have the needle valve mod to fine tune the heat. GeneK

    Cluelesssmoker

    By spatched he is referring to spatch cock. Simply it is cutting out the back bone and flattening the bird out to make it cook faster and more evenly. I usually also split mine at the breast to form two flat pieces that fit my smoker better. GeneK

    rib hooks

    They are sold as bacon hooks. Since I have a Smoke Hollow vertical propane smoker. It is only 15 or 16 inches wide by about 14 inches deep. I think I got these from Butcher and Packer, just search for bacon hooks. Mine are 9 inches wide. I put ribs on the hooks with the membrane toward the hook...

    rib hooks

     I think these came out ok when I did them last April. I've got a small smoker and I hang a lot of things, pastrami, bacon and others to get more into the smoker. GeneK

    LEM Grinder #5 or #8 ???

    I'll second the #8, I got one and it makes short work of 5 to 10 pound batches of sausage. Also i got a 1/2 inch plate and double grind for sausage, breaks up the meat and any fascia and makes the smaller grinds go faster with out the smearing. GeneK

    Questions about Todd's Pellet Tube

    I downloaded the manual and looked at how it is set up. If it were me I just would not light the smoker burner and lay the tube smoker on top of the pellet box. The tube smoker burns the pellets on its own and doesn't really like other heat sources causing drafts and burning the pellets faster...
