I recommend doing. Some will say its the lazy approach but it has giving me more time for more smokes as I can turn out better food as I'm doing other everyday activities. And with thermocouple I feel way safer for me and my family. Got to say I'm loving all the mods I did and regret nothing...

Well, to be honest I just winged it. Haven't done fish a whole lot but me and the family agreed, this batch turned out great. Just cut up a couple and made some spread/dip, it's not gonna last long.

Smoked some steelhead for the first time last night. It turned out great. Last time I smoked salmon it turned out really salty so only brined for 4 hrs. Sat out for 2 hours until glossy then smoked for 4 hrs from 140 to 200. I used pops brine with added garlic powder and rosemary. Smoked with...

So my buddy just bought a bunch of stuff from an old man getting out of deer processing and asked me if I wanted a meat slicer. Gave him $200 for it, not sure if I got a good deal or not. It's an old globe gravity feed. Needs some major cleaning but I've read lots on here from you guys on the...

Thanks guys. Got to say they tasted great, but texture wasn't the best. A little tough. Never done them before so not sure what to aim for. Thinking longer foil next time, and lowere temps. Kids land wife loved them so all in all not a bad smoke.

Didn't take a lot of pics but did beef ribs for the first time today. I bought a half a beef from my buddy and got 10 packs of short ribs, 5 in each pack. Wife picked up a rack of back ribs so did them side by side. I rubbed with olive oil, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, course ground...

What a fun night. Food turned out great, kids had a blast. Capped off with a Bon fire and some adult beverages. Got busy and didn't post the finished food so here it is.

One in the cooler, other at 203, and abt's in the smoker, at 250 but gonna bump up once parks out.

203 and 198. Perfect timing. Once I pull the one here in a minute ill put the abt's in, should have bout an hr and a half before smoking so thinking 275?

Just foiled at 180. At 185 and 182 now. Hopefully it picks up soon.

Forgot to mention, been sprit zing for the last 3 hrs once an hour with apple juice and a Tbls of rub mixed in and topping off the water pan. When we went to the ceremony at 9 this morning I double stacked the wood in the pan and when we got back a little over 2 hours later temp was perfect and...

Having family and friends over tonight to celebrate my sons kindergarten graduation. Decided to do pulled pork and hotdogs along with some abts (alien carrots according to the kids). I tried to get as much done yesterday as I could. Got the butts rubbed around 3pm. The 2 shoulders were 8 and 8.5...

Man I missed my smoker. Despite the downpour for 45 minutes the smoker kept chugging. Love having a thermostat. Only thing I had to do was raise the chip pan due to the rain making the burner go into overdrive. Which is easy now with the mechanism I made. Anywho, did a simple smoke. Got home at...

Well the first smoke with the new improved smoker is not going very well at all. But not due to anything I have control over.............

I think she'll do. I just fired it up today. Ran it for around 3 hrs at various temps to get a feel for it. I need to a plate made up with different temps for the thermostat. But in the meantime it's not to bad to dial it in. I had it set at 250 and it held within 1 degree for over an hour. I...

Done. Have a few more things planned for it but will get to that later.

Looking for any last minute suggestions before she goes to paint, prolly Tuesday or Wednesday. Gonna get media blasted then hit with high temp primer followed by high temp paint. Prolly take 2 days to lay coats on her. Very open to suggestions. Anything I'm forgetting?

I shouldn't complain too much, I am still building mine,

May 11th. Wonder when winters going to end. Doodleq, I'm jealous, not only of your smoker but your weather too!

Control panel/box. I realize I spelt Dave's name wrong earlier, I tried to edit it but can't in mobile version.
