    Solution to cold weather smoking...aka chickening out

    Plan was to get up at 3AM and putt a butt in the SI2 to take pulled pork to a potluck. Even tho I live in northern California the outside temp was 28 degrees with a light wind. As I was bundling up, i remembered and dug out my Camerons stove top smoker.  3 tablespoons of wood dust, 75...

    Foiling--The Texas Crutch

    I religiously foil when I do meats on my CharGriller outlaw. However, I did find that doing similar cuts of meat in my SI #2 or #3 (have both!), I do not need to foil. The meat, in my opinion stays moister. That being said, I have been know to foil briskets and pork shoulder on the SIs to geat...

    Thinking of upgrading from MES 30 G1, looking at MES 40 G1, vs Smokin-It Model 3. Advice?

    SI #2 and a #3. Both work very well and very reliably. No regrets about buying either of them. Guess I second what chef Wille said! Mark

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I think it was my post you are referring to. We had the oysters 2 ways. 1 Cooked with a bit of melted garlic butter with a few drops of Franks Red Hot on them just before serving. 2 cooked with home made BBQ sauce on them. Remember to shuck them prior to cooking. I do not advise letting...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    per Smokin-it's FAQ, I place a bowl of ice on top of the plate. My temps stay down - the more ice, the lower the temp. May need a bit of experimentation. I have found, the motte the better. Mark

    anyone use a Big or Little Chief Electric Smoker for smoking sausages??

    Over the years I have had both the little and big chief. Liked the little chief better for sausage. Wrapped it in a cheap welders blanket on cold days. Mine ran right about 165 while the big chief would get up to close to 185F. I would lay the sausage on the rack as close to the drip tray as...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I need to ask a question at this point. I have a #2 and a #3. Both have produced wonderful results and have worked flawlessly. The temperature swing in the #2 is 15 degrees. Never measured the #3. What is the advantage of using a digital controller? Will it give me a better result? Digital...

    Smokin-it #1 or #2

    I have a #2 and it feeds 4 to 6 easily. I use a weber rib rack in it and once I St Louis cut my ribs, they just fit. I like having the larger size for doing smoked Salon and jerky. M
