Greetings! I SAW THE LIGHT! After running electrics and gas for two decades, I made the switch to charcoal. I am retired and have the time now for charcoal. I bought a Weber 18 inch Smokey Mountain. It can be set up to run all night or day. The taste difference is amazing! I keep the gas and...
No problems with mine. It sounds like you have all of the vents closed as evidenced when it works when the door is open. You are in effect opening a "big" vent.
Hello all,
I have the single burner version and am equally pleased with it.
To get around the chip/chunk tray problem, there are about 20 levels to set up the grate rails on. I moved the bottom rails just high enough to get to the wood pan. The water pan sits on that. Then I can put big chunks...
I echo the Bayou Classic regulator AND the wind screen (you may not need that).
I actually bought 3 regulators and use them on the hybrid grill and the Great Outdoors Smoky Mountain 34 inch vertical (15 years old-still going strong).
No problem in sub freezing weather.
Cheers!
Hi there,
Welcome! You are correct about the brands changing. I recommend buying a cover for it, worth the investment.
Also, I recommend the Maverick ET-732--takes the guess work out. It has two probes, one for meat and one for internal smoker temp.
What kind of wood and water pans came with...
Gentlemen,
I have not posted any reviews yet so I thought start out a “little” different with three reviews combined into one, so to speak.
Smoke Hollow Pro 36
The main reason for this review is the Smoke Hollow Pro 36, the little brother of the 44. I got it at Sam’s for $124. I don’t think...
My name is self explanatory. I'm a New Mexico native (my wife too). I'm a desert rat (second name choice)and love the wide open spaces.
My wife and I both cook. Being in New Mexico (chili capital of the world), my smoking has a New Mexican, not Mexican, theme and taste.
Authentic Mexican food...
Every time we travel to Grand Junction (next to Fruita) I say hi to Bert. One thing l like to do is think "Hmmm...I wonder what cherry and apricot would taste like with a
slight finish of maple". The possibilities are endless!!!
This unit #2 is DEFINITELY my next. I have a question about the heater element. How does it hold up in the long run?
Has anyone tried FRUITAWOODCHUNKS yet? I'm thinking about a thread on mixing different wood chunks and/or differences between woods. I've seen ones about woods but they aren't...
Regarding the AMNPS vs Smoke Daddy: yes the AMNPS works as advertised, HOWEVER, the selection of sawdust is severely limited.
I have the Big Kahuna Smoke Daddy aand a variety of 8 different woods and a hatchet to make the chunks just right.
To me, part of smoking is tending the fire.
Sorry guys, the URL did not make it in the post. What is fun with so many choices is you can create your own "mystery wood" by mixing different types.
URLs may not be allowed here so you can Google Fruita Wood Chips and there you go.
Cheers!
Regarding wood sources, I have one in Colorado that has an amazing selection of wood chunks. He specializes in chunks and actually sells a lot for competitions. Shipping is free for 10 and 15 pound boxes anywhere in all 50 states. He cuts the wood on order from so it doesn't dry out and stores...
