    Not a new smoker but have a new smoker!

    I'll add one thought...from a beginner Your temp gauge could be off a little or a lot.   My old brinkman from 26+ years ago was just like that. It made cooking on it inconsistent and never done on time.  To soon or too late. buy a digital thermometer and and drop it thought the vent stack to...

    stainless coloring?

    There is what I call "acid" products that will remove the discoloration form the welding process.  I would assume that you could use the same stuff.   Sorry, can tell you what it's called.  I just know that some fabricators I worked with in the past used it on 1000's of pounds of stainless on...

    Affordable Cooking Pellets

    Question for you pellet people... so far, I have found that my favorite 100% pellet is Todd's pecan pellets. What I don't is what is the difference in flavor between pecan and hickory? Or what recommendation matches the closet to a pecan flavor? I'm a cabinet maker and I know that many times...

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll wait for the next sale on the Amazn site I tried running the traeger yesterday afternoon and the auger would only turn sporadically and needed a little help.  So I started poking around trying to trouble shoot.  I found some rough gouges on the edges of the...

    Pellet Storage/Changing pellet flavors?

    I don't go though as many pellets as you guys but the two things that come to mind are the airtight  stackable storage containers with screw off lids at petsmart  item # 2811537.  I like these because they are rectangular shaped and stack.  Because they are made for dog food, I'd assume they are...

    Problems with my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker 30"

    Is it worth it?  yeah, cheapest hobby I have. The wife isn't complaining. None of this stuff broke the bank.  It's all in the fine tuning.  Even the more expensive units seem to need some tweaking.

    Problems with my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker 30"

    I forgot to add... I hated the chip try that came with the unit so I immediately purchased the amazen pellet tray.  It too has a little of a learning curve.
