    Lyfetyme Smoker—How do I cook on this evenly?

    I kind of gave up trying after having three heavy offset smokers similar to this one. All different brands, all of them have exactly the same problem. I don’t even know that it is a problem. I attached a picture of my temperature probes. I cannot get this smoker or any of my smokers much closer...

    First time smoking: Question about pork spare ribs

    Never done spare ribs before.  I have a couple of questions. Can I use the same dry rub that I use on my pork butt?  Do I need a 'mop sauce'? Can I get away with using a 3-2-1 method, spraying with apple juice, and then using something like Blues Hog for the last hour?? I was going to try...

    How long to smoke 13lb turkey?

    Never smoked one before.  Is there a general guess?  Im kind of worried about food safety so I was thinking smoking around 275-300...probably closer to 300.  Is this OK?  Bird is brining now.  Im going to use pecan/apple wood.  I also have cherry. My FIL smoked his in an electric one and he...

    Smoke vault 18 and new hose assembly....safe??

    So I'm trying to get my temps down and with my new regulator/needle valve assembly the temps get to 200 and I can hold them there as long as all my vents are open. My question is, is my 10psi regulator assembly ok to use with this smoker? I don't know what the original is but on high it is high...

    Hey, from TX

    New member here.  No smoking experience whatsoever really.  Im pretty much charcoal and gas grill material.  Anyway, I ended up with a new smoker and figured this was the place to come for advice!  Im in TX.

    Trouble with low temps and smoke vault 18"

    I have a smoke vault 18.  It was given to me because the person didnt use it.  It's brand new in the box.  I seasoned it and all seems OK, but I was unable to maintain the temperature the manual stated for seasoning.  I am now smoking pork, and it seems no matter what I do, I cannot keep the...
