So after my last mods to my ECB I still had temp problems but not as bad. The temp was no longer in the 300-325 but was in the 270 or so range regardless of how closed I had the bottom hole. So I started looking for air leaks and noticed a good 1/4" or better gap where the door is attached. At...

OKay I did my first smoke with my BCE. The only MODS so far is to add a grate in the fire pit thingy. And to add a much improved thermo. Anyway I smoked a whole chic.. came out great however the temp stayed close to 300 the whole time. In fact it stayed that way for close to five hours before it...

I was reciently given this smoker...

Hey guy  I am looking for a wilrell model, preferable with two probes to be used with my smoker. I have had the Maveric et-73 that lasted all of two-three months before dying, so I'd like to find another option....  Any info will be great, thank you!

Decided to do a littel brisket today... Came out pretty tasty. Smoked over messy wood @ 210-220 for just under 8 hours. Rubbed naked with Cracked black, kosher salt, cumin, chillie pepper, onion and garlic salt. Oh and a bit of dark brown sugar.

I was lucky enough to pick up a new toy off craigs list yesterday for only 10.00. It didn't work, but I popped it open found a bad cap comming off the bridge rectifyer. Now I just need to figure what to do with it.. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...box.jsp.form23

Hey everyone, like the titel says I am looking for a new dehydrator. I have a cheap nesco that does the job, the problem is that it has no temp controle, and is pretty loud. The only way to turn it on or off is to either plug it in, or unplug it. So I thought I would ask here to see if anyone...

So I did a chcuck today that I rubbed up last night and left to rest in frige. Smoke/cooked @ 220 over oak, then finnished to a IT of 155 at which time I pulled, foiled, and allowed to rest.

So my wife brought me home a jerkey gun, and I am thinking of giving a go in a day or go. I have a few questions.. * Is it best to start and finnish in the smoker, or better to start in the smoker then finnish off in dehydrator? * Is the temp range I should be shooting for around 140 the...

So I had this ribeye roast that was just under 3 pounds. It's a pretty lean cut, so I normally would not have smoked it, but well sometimes ya just gotta. Anyway I rubbed it down with a rub I whipped on last night. Today about an hour before smoking I injected it with apple juice and rub. I...

Today I was given a gift from a good friend of mine, a 50.00 off code for cabela's. The idea was too buy a Bradley like he has, but even with 50.00 off it is still pretty spendy, and with the puck cost it will contenue too be. So I was thinking of buying the 30" mes (black one) that Cabela's has...

Hey, all I was just wondering what everyone here felt was a good gage for an extension cord. On the back of my smoker it says, 120v, 1500watt, 12.5 amp. I have a possible 14ga that is rated for 13amps... I'm guessing I should go for over kill here and get somewhere in the 12gage area. Still...

Okay I whipped up a brine and let her sat over night in the cold box.

Had yet another short day at work, so I popped a littel chuckiy in the smoker. It is just under four pounds. I rubbed her up with paprica, onion and garlic salt, ground black, and white pepper, kosher salt, dark brown sugar, chilie pepper, and cumin. Smoked it at 220-230, wrapped it up at 165...

I tested out my new craigslist find with a littel stealhead and chicken for my wife's b-day! The salmon was brined with brown sugar, kosher salt and lemon zest and juice. The chicken was brined in water sugar kosher salt and a littel fresh lavender tossed in. The chicken was smoked at 275 over...

I picked up a smoke hollow from craigslist today, (was told it was a mes, but noooo). Anyway I re-curred it and seemed great, but now at 195 deg I am unable to get smoke. Will it only smoke at hight temp? Any idea's? I need this lower temp for salmon.. Hate to have to crank it higher, and over...

My wife found a 30" MES on craigslist for 75.00, I have contacted the person but no response just yet. Anyway my question is this, I have heard that you should not use a extension cord. Because I do not have an out door plug, I am left with two options.. 1) Use a cord. 2) Use in the garage, with...

Hey everyone I am thinking of doing a brisket tomarow. I have always just dry rubbed it, and let it sat over night, but after reading about brisket marinades I am considering marinading my brisket. So I have a few questions... ** How long should I marinade the brisket? ** If I do marinade it...
