    First Impression: Smokin-It Model 2D

    After about 2 1/2 hours the smoke has either really slacked off, or I'm getting used to the smell outside. Actually quite nice and no complaints from my neighbors :)

    First Impression: Smokin-It Model 2D

    8 days later it's both dry enough and I have time enough to fire this little guy up. This is just the seasoning run (4 hrs @ 250F) so I have just the sweet, sweet smell of hickory smoke to tease me with future promises of smoky goodness. Took about 30 minutes to get to 250, seems to be holding...

    Cooking Butts ahead of time?

    What's the best way to smoke butts ahead of time for later use? When to pull, and how to reheat. Looks like I might have to smoke some the day before use...

    Yield on a Butt? Or How Much Butt Do I Really Need?

    So my best friends know I have a new smoker, and I'm (we're) itching to try it out Memorial Day weekend. Pretty much decided on pulled pork to start, with sides and dessert.  I know from previous experience I need about a half-pound of meat per person for serving, and I'm thinking we are...

    If not pulled chicken, what about a smoked turkey leg?

    Looking to buy an electric smoker

    Just bought the model 2D, it arrived today.  Very impressed with the build quality and I can't wait to get started smoking with it.

    First Impression: Smokin-It Model 2D

    So when FedEx emailed me to say this was on my front step, I had to skip out of work at lunch to go see, besides it was supposed to rain and I didn't want to deal with 90 lbs of wet cardboard wrestling it in the front door. Managed to get it in the door and deposited the box in my kitchen. ...

    Some advice for a noob in a townhouse?

    Is the smoker something I should feel safe about running unattended?  It wouid be on a wooden deck. What if I cut the pork butt in half?

    Some advice for a noob in a townhouse?

    Another noob question...what about unattended operation? I see pork butts take about 2 hours per pound, is that right? So a 8 pound butt takes 16 hours?  How's that work? And one more while I'm at it on the Smokin-it page - what is the difference between the 2d and 3d?

    Some advice for a noob in a townhouse?

    Thanks, I see lots of mods for the MES, but it seems I could use the Smokin-it "as is"? Seems to be a simpler solution that the MES? I don't have a lot of room on my deck and would prefer to keep thins simple. How hot does the unit get on the bottom? I have a remote temperature probe already...

    How much wood or chips would I use in the MES to do a pork butt or turkey?

    Some advice for a noob in a townhouse?

    With as many passionate, knowledgeable folks here as there are, that probably speaks volumes.  Quite a few problems posted over on Amazon with the CB the main knock outside of here on MES is the small smoke tray. With the tube smoker, most likely, I would use 10-12 pounds of chips to smoke one...

    Some advice for a noob in a townhouse?

    Thanks! I do drop off plates, they appreciate the gesture, but I still hear about it. That's why I asked about the box smokers being more efficient and having less smoke produced.
