    Smoking a whole chicken.

    I agree that 185* is way too low for a whole chicken. I just pulled one out of my smoker after ~2:15 at 300*. There was juice bubbling under the skin, so I know it's juicy and the skin had a bit of crisp to it. When I've done whole turkeys I used brine for ~24 hours, and it worked out well. For...

    Why Can't I get Smoke Going?

    Hi Jane... I am also using an electric, though it's something I built and not the same model as yours. I had the same problem generating smoke; either the wood was too close to the element and burned up too quickly, or it was too far away and didn't get hot enough to smoke. I had the best...

    Cheap element controller

    Well, mine gets about the same I would guess. I can still keep my hand on it but it definitely puts off a little heat. Not sure it's a problem, and I attribute much of it to being in a sealed case. A new one w/ vents is in my plans.

    Cheap element controller

    Sounds like you've also found a good solution, and good to hear it's working so well. The unit you have is the very one I was thinking seriously about buying (it certainly is a lot nicer looking than mine). If you don't mind me asking how hot does this unit get when you use it? I'm curious to...

    just an observation and need some advice

    New is great, but there's always some 'tweaking' to be done on any smoker. Have fun trying different things, but since the result has been good so far don't do anything drastic that you cant undo. The main goal is to cook good food and have fun! (My advice is free and worth every penny).

    Cheap element controller

    Many new electric smokers have a method of controlling the smoke chamber temperature, but those of us who want to build our own have to come up with a custom solution. I have seen a number of very nice looking electronic controllers on the Internet, but all are too 'rich' for my blood. Being...

    Wood stove smoker

    If the stove has an adjustable draft you can control the temp by restricting the source of oxygen to the fire. Once you get used to how much fuel it burns you can also have a great deal of control by varying the amount of coal/wood you use at a time. Keep us posted; this looks like it could be a...
