Daddypig I am just northeast of you 2 hrs. I have the Smokin tex 1400 also. this summer I had terrible luck with the dust burning even outside the box. even after putting dust in the microwave it was just to humid to keep it burning. I broke down and built mailbox cold smoker. I had a local shop...
no pics until I got the roll up finished. This was my trial run before deer camp in 2 weeks. I am pleased and this was quick and fun to make. Peppers onions provolone. Fancier smokes are a head.

Not a big fan of liver but hate to waste anything. We just split a cow with some friends and decided to try smoked liver. Sliced the liver, a little salt and pepper. 220 for about 1 1/2 hrs over hickory. It turned out very nice, it had a nice texture for liver. I am still not a big fan but this...
