So after many years of faithful service I think my master built Gen 1 40" is on its way out. I've been thinking about getting a Camp Chef DLX or the new Windwood model. Any one here use either of Todd's pellet burners on these things? If so, where to place them? Thanx, Bobby

Well  guys, after seeing some posts regarding using charcoal in Todds' pellet burner,I decided to give it a try.Using all charcoal creates great charcoal smell, but the smoke it generates is light so mixing it with some pellets is a must.I was in the mood for some turkey so I decided to give it...

I think I'm going to try pops wet brine for curing my BB. After it is done soaking in the brine,do I need to rinse off, pat dry with paper towels, and throw a fan on it to form a pellicle?

Hey guys.I gave canadian bacon a try using a loin @ $2.59 llb.Turned out pretty good but not enough fat and a little bit on the dry side.I think I'll stick with BBB using a shoulder at $1.30.I like that more than using a belly or loin,plus it's cheaper! I made this using what I know...

Hello all,I decided to give making bacon a try. Like many others I went to one of the "go to" sources here, and used bearcarvers' recipe for smokey bacon.Man o man it turned out very smokey and delicious.It was more canadian /ham like but it still turned out awsome.Any idea on how to make it...

I saw the recipe for pig balls on this forum so I gave it a shot.I used montery jack cheese. I then made souasge balls around the cheese. I wrapped them in bacon.Everything is better with bacon I also made some girly terds for my daughters and wifey using sweet peppers. I made the...

 I already bought the turkey (onsale .37 pound) with the idea of seperating the legs and thighs and placing them on a differnt rack.But thought... Instead of using a smoking temp of 225 crank up the heat to 275.  Any thought?AA  ARe     I understand the logic that you dont want the bird in the...

After reviewing the mod video,I decided to tinker with my 40". I removed that piece of metal inbetween the heating element and the chip tray by removing the 2 screws on the left hand side and prying off the rivits on the right with a screw driver and hammer.Without that metal the tray was just...

Hey guys..I noticed a few of our big dogs/senior members have been using the A-Maze-N-Smoker cold smoker.I'm seriously considering getting one of these bad boys to eleiminate the need of every half hour chip loads when smoking a butt.I was reading the manual on its website and it mentions not to...

Hey guys,,I've been dinking with RonP tile mod and since I have a new 30" MES w/window some things aren't the same for me.I got a 3/8 glazed granite tile(couldn't find any unglazed) and had lowes cut 3" off.Placed it on top of the chip loader enclosure and gave it a test.The test went well,the...

Hi guys,I'm Bobby and live in Pa. I'm smoking with a masterbuilt electric smoker. I know,I dont get any man points for using an electric smoker but I had a half barrel type with an offset firebox and keeping the temp above 220 after 3 hours was a major pain. I'm looking forward to picking the...
