    New 3895GWLA Magnetic door latch

    Thanks. Looks like that is 7/8" wide. Quick question, did you have to cut off any excess overhang, or did it fit perfectly? Thanks, -c0de-

    Measure heat location

    From everything that I have read, you want to be in between the heat and the meat.

    New to smoking, and hoping to get going on my first smoke next weekend!

    Alright, I did the boil test last night. My infrared thermometer showed the water at 210°F. Believe it or not, the stock thermometer that came with my Landmann 3895GWLA was actually spot on and sitting at 210°F. I then tested my Ivation IVAWT738  (a rebranded  Maverick ET-733) and both of the...

    New to smoking, and hoping to get going on my first smoke next weekend!

    HA! I mainly meant sitting in my chair, feet propped up, and making sure I only have TBS coming out of the smoke stack. That is when all the magic is happening. Besides, I have the thermometer there to tell me how things are going inside the smoker. I won't take a peek until I go to put my...

    New to smoking, and hoping to get going on my first smoke next weekend!

    Agreed. I want to get out of the "danger zone"  as fast as I can. I plan on smoking at 230 degrees, which should get me past an internal temp of 140 degrees after 3 - 3.5 hours. I have watched maybe around 5 hours of video on Youtube of various personalities giving their take on smoking a...

    New to smoking, and hoping to get going on my first smoke next weekend!

    This Saturday is the first truly lazy Saturday that my wife and I have had all year. I plan on pretty much being a bum on the back porch with the smoker and watching the magic happen.  I plan on doing the initial firing of my smoker tonight and learning how to get a nice and steady temp on it...

    New to smoking, and hoping to get going on my first smoke next weekend!

    I ordered an Ivation IVAWT738 Dual Probe Long Range Wireless Digital Thermometer  which appears to be a rebranded Maverick and was $20 cheaper. I figured that was a good place to start, and if I end up getting really serious into smoking, I could always pick up something like the Tappecue 4...

    New to smoking, and hoping to get going on my first smoke next weekend!

    Thanks Bauch! This is exactly what I had planned on doing. I love brisket, but my wife loves pork bbq more, so I figured if I could win her over first, then she would support my new hobby!

    New to smoking, and hoping to get going on my first smoke next weekend!

    Hello from Tennessee! I am new to smoking, but not new to eating smoked meats. I'm hoping to enjoy a new hobby and break away from the monotony of just grilling foods, which I normally do a few times a week. I have a Landmann Smoky Mountain 3895GWLA that I just ordered, and I am hoping to do...

    New 3895GWLA Magnetic door latch

    I just ordered this same smoker, and after reading multiple reviews I have seen people using a latch similar to this to fix the issue with the weak magnets. This is the latch I plan on ordering. If you don't mind me asking, what size width was the nomex gasket tape that you used? Thanks...
