    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    I can tell you one critique right out of the box. Because this unit will be going into a converted fridge, the nipple is not big enough to fully extend into the freezer. That's an easy fix on this end but it would be nice if maybe 2 sizes were included or simply allow a bit more thread so that...

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    Well, I ran into my office and opened the box today. It would appear to be very similiar to what people had anticipated about being fence post caps etc. But, he's done several neat cuts to this unit which allows it to be easily shut down. It also appears that he's done some sort of weld...

    Negative rep points

    I am a member of another forum where we have over 40,000 registered users. Of which, I am in the top 5 people with regards to the Karma system (identical to rep points). Only paid members can see who gave what points out but, as a policy, I always will sign my name in the explanation box. I...

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    Mine actually arrived today but I did not get a chance to swing by and pick it up. I will have it installed over the weekend and do my first official pork butt with it. I'll be sure to keep everyone informed! Griz

    Canning barbeque sauce??

    I made Jeff's sauce the other night and it was very good. I would like to make larger batches and then can it. Does anyone see any issues that I might run into? I am assuming it will be like canning any other tomato based sauce (Spaghetti etc) but thought I would seek input first. Thanks! Griz

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    We will agree to disagree then. I choose to take the high road and try to see the good in others. Call it a glass half full lifestyle. I still can't fathom your response over something you've not tried but I digress..... Griz

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    Trust me, there was no offense taken on my part. They don't call me Griz for nothing! With that said, your last post was really no better than the first as far as I am concerned. It's awfully easy to sit back and speak negative opinions about something that you've not tried. I will have a...

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    I hope you don't approach everything in life with a glass is half empty outlook. Nobody on this forum, except for the creator, has tried this. Why knock something you haven't tried? Keep in mind that this is the forum that tells people to rub Miracle Whip on their turkeys before cooking...

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    I don't see it that way. Pellets have long been used for smoking. From what I have seen, this box is no different then putting a cast iron pan with wood chunks in with your fire. It's an offset box design only the box is smaller then normal. Griz

    First Turkey......have questions...?

    Traegers cook on medium and high. They have a smoke option which corresponds to low setting. Griz

    Mayo on a chicken

    Does it need to be Mayo or will Miracle Whip work? Griz

    First Turkey......have questions...?

    I am smoking a turkey for our church's Thanksgiving lunch this weekend. I plan on using my Traeger smoker as my newly built smoker is not tried and tested yet. The traeger will allow me to cook the bird on medium or high (I still have to see what temp that is). But, when it is on either of...

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    I just received an email from the maker of this unit. He is a member of this forum and goes by the name Fiddler252. I thought I would post the email as he describes how the unit is made: Griz

    Free for the taking.....All metal freezer

    Nope, never even heard of it.

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    I figured I could spend $15 trying to make one or spend the $40 and get it already done. I know, where's my sense of adventure....well, with 4 kids my sense of adventure left a long time ago....along with my sanity! Actually, I had contemplated it until I read one of his feedbacks where the...

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    I understand where you're coming from. I wonder if it's simply a difference between burning real wood chunks vs pellets? He has a website here ---> http://porkypas.spaces.live.com/Pers...x?_c02_owner=1 That shows the smoke etc. He, according to his site, does the catering thing...

    Instead of a smoke pistol.....

    I had looked at getting a smoke pistol but have read that they don't perform quite as reliably as what I was looking for. I really don't want to mess with tapping the pellets down in order to get it to smoke. I did find a similar unit on eBay that appears to work off of the same principle...

    Free for the taking.....All metal freezer

    That is good Q! Little porgy's as well in Champaign! Des Moines is a solid 6 hours. I've done that drive many times. Hardly worth the effort. If I could figure out how to make this into my fire box I would but I don't know that the metal could withstand the fire temps. Griz

    Free for the taking.....All metal freezer

    For those ambitious types, I have another all metal freezer (actually works too) that has been given to me. I just completed my freezer conversion so don't need yet another one hanging around. This unit is a small (roughly 5 cubic foot) chest style freezer and is located by Champaign Illinois...

    What size exhaust

    Well, I increased the exhaust hole from 3 inches to 6 inches and boy, what a difference it made!! After running for a solid hour my temps remained a steady 233 degree's! Just about perfect! I think it's time to get my shelving installed so I truly see what kind of results I get with this! Griz
