    Is this a good price on WSM?

    Maybe to late, but considering that's just over half the list price I would say yes, that's a good deal. I paid $150 for mine used

    Charcoal vrs. Pellet smokers

    I have a Cookshack PG1000 and have yet to find anything it can't do. The 500 is the same size but not insulated which you shouldn't need where you live. (Nice beaches by the way :) ) The Cookshack is stainless which might help down there. Both companies have top notch customer service. When I...

    Looking for good grill

    It's hard to beat the good old Weber charcoal grill. I can grill, smoke, or bake on mine

    BBQ temperature controller & fans .

    I would start by going to BBQGURU website and look at their buyer's guide. For starters, the size of the fan depends on the size of your smoker, from there it's pretty much a matter of what kind of bells and whistles you want on it.

    WSM in competitions

    At this contest I cooked on a 14.5", a 22.5" WSM and a mini. Was there some luck involved? Oh yes, but it can be done (and often is) on WSMs

    Upgrading!

    Yoder makes quality smokers. the Cheyenne is a 16" diameter, so if my calculations are correct it will have a little less area than a WSM 22.5". If you can swing the extra $95 for the heat management plate it would be well worth it, makes a huge difference in temp control. I have all 4 sizes of...

    Another "please help with grinder choice" thread

    Congrats! I looked long and hard at the Kitchner before deciding on Cabelas. I ground 2# of rib trimmings yesterday and could barely feed it fast enough.

    Need an upgrade

    More information would be helpful, how many do you cook for? What is your budget? do you want to babysit a smoker, set and forget, or in between? My first suggestion would be a WSM. Do you ever get into Wichita? If so, stop by All Things Barbecue on Douglas and look around as they have a nice...

    Thanks to all who replied! After reviewing all opinions and much soul searching, I went with the Cabela's I think it will outlast me and do more than I ever need it to, plus it has the 5 year warranty. I also considered the availability of parts and attachments. thanks again, can hardly wait...

    pellet vs kamado

    I have to disagree with this. I have a Big Steel Keg (same size as a large BGE) and a Cookshack FEPG1000. I have yet to find anything I can't cook on the pellet grill. While the BSK would be my go-to grill if the grid goes down, I don't think the pellet grills can be beat for all-around...

    Cabelas grinder/Stuffer. How good does the stuffer attachments work?

    Quote from the manual: "NOTE: the high-speed stuffing system is designed for use with the 10mm funnel ONLY. DO NOT attempt to use the High-Speed Plastic Auger with any other Funnels. SERIOUS DAMAGE to the Grinder Head and other components may occur.

    OK, the decision has been reached.

    Whole chicken internal breast temp?

    Mdboatbum covered the minimum already so I'll just add a foot note: those pop-up timers you find in turkeys and occasionally chicken are set to pop at 180-185°

    When looking at commercial quality grinders, Cabela's vs Gander Mountain; similar models with near identical specs, is the Cabela's worth $75 more? Why? http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Gander-Mountain-8-Stainless-Steel-Electric-Meat-Grinder&i=754158...

    Thermometer Question (WSM 18.5)

    Should be close enough. I've set them out on a table to check ambient temps before, same theory.

    Sounds just like smokers ;) The Gander think didn't work out like I had hoped, so now back to square one. The good part is, I'm in no great hurry as I can "get by" with my wife's KA attachment for now.

    JJ, I really don't see the volume increasing much at all, there is just the 2 of us at home and we can only eat so much. :)

    Another "please help with grinder choice" thread

    Is there much practical difference between a #8 and #12 given the amount of meat we're talking about? I'm sure I'll have a better feel for them once I see them side by side. I've tried to research the difference but having had any luck. Thanks again

    Meat injector Gun or Syringe?

    They are a standard luer lock fitting, so most should work. We buy 16ga vet needles, they leave smaller holes in the meat so not as much injection comes back out. Just be ready to explain to the clerk what you use them for
