    The "A-MAZE-N Smoker"

    I really need to pick up one of these little gadgets. I've read nothing but 5 star praise so it's definitely on my "wish" list. I'm just curious, do you have to use the dust sold on their web site or will any brand work as well?

    What Brand or Kind of Charcoal to use...?

    Kingsford blue bag here. Don't really see a reason to switch to anything else.

    My first time ever smoking with oak, Wish me luck!

    Thanks for the tips oldschoolbbq. This is how I usually go about starting my 22.5 WSM. I fill the charcoal ring with charcoal briquettes. How much I use depends on what kind of meat I'm smoking. I then place the smoke wood on top of the charcoal and I try to bury it the best I can. I then light...

    My first time ever smoking with oak, Wish me luck!

    I used one small 6 inch split of oak for the cook since I didn't know how strong it would be. For some reason I tend to have a hard time achieving thin blue smoke in my WSM. The last time I used hickory I went with 2 fist sized chunks and it took over an hour and a half before the thick white...

    My first time ever smoking with oak, Wish me luck!

    Sorry for the late response folks. I had to cut the cook short yesterday and finish in the oven due to rain. I wasn't able to snap a picture of the baby backs as they went pretty quick, but below is a pic of the smoked turkey breast after carving. My digital camera is on the cheap side so I...

    Pitmaster IQ 110

    I said that at a time when I didn't know that pit control devices are not supposed to run constantly. That was my first time using any kind of pit control unit so as far as I could tell the 110 was doing what it was supposed to do.

    My first time ever smoking with oak, Wish me luck!

    I've been dying to try some simple Lockhart Texas style bbq so I ordered some white oak mini splits from fruitawoodchunks.com. They arrived this morning so I got the 22.5 WSM setup and ready to go. Right now I've got a rack of baby backs and a whole turkey breast on with nothing more than a salt...

    Pitmaster IQ 110

    When I sent the 110 back and they tested it out, Matt assured me there was absolutely nothing wrong with the probe or the unit itself. That's why I didn't bother ordering a replacement probe.

    Pitmaster IQ 110

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. I don't know why it surprises me at this point but it does.

    Pitmaster IQ 110

    My fiancee ordered the iQue for me as a late birthday gift which is why she had to call and give them her credit card information. What my mother had to do with this I have no idea.

    Pitmaster IQ 110

    I tried that buddy, believe me. They told me the best they could do for a refund was 50% as they could only demo the used unit since they can't re-sell it. At this point I'm just washing my hands of this ordeal and moving on.

    Pitmaster IQ 110

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and I always tried to be fair when talking about my issues here with the iQue 110. Oddly enough though, when they emailed me back with the options of either a return or 50% refund, they pointed out that they had...

    Pitmaster IQ 110

    As some of you may know I bought a Pitmaster IQ 110 a few weeks ago and have had nothing but problems with the unit so I ended up shipping it back. The company just sent me an e-mail saying that they received the 110 and tested it out. They said there was absolutely nothing wrong with my unit or...

    stokers and auto controllers..what do you use?

    Will do bud.  Every review I read on the iQue before I placed my order was extremely positive except for one from another bbq forum where the owner experienced the same issue that I had. He said it was just a simple probe malfunction so they replaced his unit and afterwards it worked...

    stokers and auto controllers..what do you use?

    I have a Pitmaster iQue 110, but I had some problems with the fan running almost constantly even when up to temp. The company is great to deal with, but they don't do refunds so I sent my unit back for a replacement. I'll post a new thread letting everyone know how the new 110 works out once it...

    Brown rusty residue after cooking on my Weber Smokey Mountain WSM

    That happened to me once before except that rust looking crud covered almost every square inch of the inside of my WSM. It was on there pretty thick too even in the bottom section and would not come off when wiped with a wet rag or scrubbed with a grill brush. Someone on another bbq forum...

    Ordering post oak wood online?

    Does anyone happen to know where I can order post oak chunks or small splits online? Every site that I've found so far only has red or white oak and I'm specifically looking for post oak. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

    Second smoke with the iQue 110 and 22.5 WSM

    I'll shoot the company an email explaining my issues and see what we can work out. At this point I think I'd much rather receive a refund than deal with a replacement. Like you mentioned, the iQue should not keep running almost constantly once up to temp regardless of the air leaks. I...

    Second smoke with the iQue 110 and 22.5 WSM

    Thanks for the tip about the two front vents Al. I did two test runs with the WSM and iQue today. One with an empty water pan and the second with a water pan filled with hot water. I took some high temp tape and covered each of the 4 holes on both of the front vents after closing them 100%. I...
