    Another DIY smoke generator

    Possibly an air flow issue? I started with four holes approximately ⅛ inch and eventually punched another four holes hoping to improve the burn and reduce creosote buildup but I'm not sure it helped. As long as I remember to shake the Hopper occasionally I usually don't have to re light it. I've...

    Another DIY smoke generator

    Yea mine creates quite a bit of liquid as well. Much of this I attribute to the rapid cooling of the smoke because of the venturi, the rest I attribute to the air supply decompressing. You have to keep in mind that you are not truely "creating" moisture. You are only converting it from an...

    Need jerky input.

    I have a johnson controls thermostat I use in my kegerator that can also be used with a heater. It has a temp probe to read the temperature and you just plug the smoker into the unit and it will turn the smoker on and off accordingly. Worked like a charm with my electrically retrofitted gas...

    Oh boy I did it now.

    I have that therm. Is just a holiday season gift pack item from target, sears, etc. You know, next to the flasks, wallets, self locating key chain type of garbage. I think I paid $10 for it in an after Christmas sale, normally twenty bucks. I suspect IF you could find a new probe, the cost would...

    Does anyone here own one of these?

    I bought one this summer and have had good luck with it. It's my first smoker so I don't have anything to compare it to, but from what I've learned on here, it has a fairly wide temperature range. It works well as equipped, however I placed t on wheels for mobility, built a cold smoke generater...

    How to properly extinguish an AMNPS or AMNTS

    I don't have one of these devices but it seems to me that you could wrap the tube in aluminum foil and suffocate it.

    Cooking with BEER?

    I have an incredibly hard time Milwaukee's beast makes anything taste good. But I'm a bit of a beer snob. That said, i stay away from really happy beer when cooking most things. A good dark or black beer is a great addition to nearly any stew or meaty soup. Also I have found if you simply DRINK...

    Does it matter?

    Go to an auto parts store and buy a trouble light bulb. They are silicone coated so even if it does explode, it won't leave debris. Good luck!

    Do's and Don'ts of water pans.

    I used six paver bricks slightly spread out on my last cook in place of the water pan. It held temperature so much better, but took a long time for the bricks to come to temp. This is in a propane smoker by the way.

    Welding question: Rolled steel to stainless?

    If it were me, I would just paint up to the weld line and leave the stainless bare. Two tone looks great on more than just cars you know!

    Welding question: Rolled steel to stainless?

    It doesn't matter if you use stainless rods or regular. You are still welding dissimilar metals, and the steel side will rust weather your weld bead is stainless or not, if left bare, copy? I've done it before, welding regular steel bumpers to the back of stainless steel refrigerated semi-...

    CAN'T FIND WOOD TO USE FOR SMOKING WITHOUT HARSH CHEMICALS ADDED. I LIVE IN PHILLY PA. ANY SUGGESTIO

    That's the same reason I use horse and buggy instead of quadracycles. But I hear those new fangled automobiles are better than they used to be. Humph. I like my propane smoker. Requires more attention than an electric, but less than a stick burner or charcoal. Plus I'm not tethered by a cord...

    I know this is SMOKING MEAT FORUMS but it is time for a new propane grill.....Any opinions?

    I bought a broil king Baron 440 from cabelas this spring. 4 burners, no gimmicks, and made in the USA to boot. The quality advantage us obvious in a side by side comparison with a char broil or the like, from the overall construction, to the thick gauge stainless steel burner covers, to the...

    Another DIY smoke generator

    Well I got it all put together and tested it out some more. This is as low as I could get it to smoke Then, just for fun, I cranked up the PSI. Right after this picture, the bottom of the chip pot turned orange!  Fits perfect in the smoker!
