    Quick Question about smoking a meatloaf?

    My last meatloaf was 2.75 # and took almost 6 hours at 230*. It was delicious, but I haven't cooked one at higher temp to compare with. I agree with dward51... it'll hold well if it gets done early.

    First attempt at Pulled Pork... SUCCESS!

    That's great looking Pulled Pork! Congratulations on nailing your first attempt. I am a firm believer in "less is more" and your success supports that thought nicely. Usually a little seasoning, careful attention to temp (both smoker and IT), and good quality smoke is all you really need to...

    Embarrassment Brought Me Here

    Hey Randy, welcome to the forum. My first smoker was a cheaper version of yours, and as soon as I got it home I started a big charcoal fire in the firebox and slapped two whole chickens on the rack. There was enough wood in the coals to produce gobs of smoke. I proudly watched the chimney...

    Choosing the proper heating element?

    Wow! That's a big muffler! Should make a cool smoker. Can I assume it's going to be a vertical? There are a number of ways to insulate depending on how much work you're willing to do. This time of year you may get away with wrapping a welding blaket around it. If you intend on using it all year...

    Choosing the proper heating element?

    IMHO good insulation is just as important as the element wattage in building electric smokers. Most of us want to use typical 110v / 15a outlets, which limits the current draw, but also means no special wiring. A simple wrap can make a all the difference in the performance of your smoker. Good...

    Insulated smoker

    I would suggest doing your research and buying a smoker that meets your needs and appeals to you. Then get a welding blanket that will reach around your smoker and use it as insulation. You can use a few cheap spring clamps to hold it in place. If you still have trouble maintaining temp in cold...

    Is it the meat, the smoker, or what???

    Cool mod! And by the way, great looking butt in your qview. I'm sure some others will chime in with ideas for a 'no tools' mailbox mod.

    Is it the meat, the smoker, or what???

    You didn't mention what kind of smoker you're using (I missed it if you did) but I assume the AMNPS is inside the smoker. My thought is that you're lighting it just fine, and your pellets are dry, but there's not enough air getting to the pellets to keep them burning. I use one on my electric...
