    Why Isn't It Pink?

    Thank you, chopsaw. That's kind of what I thought, but it never hurts to ask.

    Why Isn't It Pink?

    The other day my wife asked me this question.... apply jokes here. I had just grilled some homemade venison sausages/smokies, and she wanted to know why they were brown and not the reddish colour that the ones from the grocery store are. I didn't have an answer, never really thought about it...

    My New Pit Boss Electric Smoker - long post

    I have used both a Bradley and a MES with the vent right above the heat source, in those units I found I was regularly moving the racks because stuff on the bottom was cooking faster than the top. It wasn’t until I was researching a new smoker, and reading on this site about people adding a...

    My New Pit Boss Electric Smoker - long post

    New smokers do look embarrassingly clean. The snack mix just has melted butter and SPOG on it.

    had it with Masterbuilt looking for recommendations

    You can see my review of the Pit Boss electric in this section. I have been very happy with it. It's in the same price range as the MES and Bradley electric smokers. Pit Boss also has vertical pellet smokers, the Copper Head series, and a 5 year warranty on all of their vertical smokers. If you...

    My New Pit Boss Electric Smoker - long post

    Just a follow up. I have done a few more smokes in the Pit Boss, one at -18C, and all has went well. I'm still very happy with this unit. I have been using an Inkbird to see how the built in probes, and box sensor compare. The built in probes are very good, the box sensor can have trouble when...

    When it rains and you NEED to smoke

    Nice. Make sure the neighbors know so they don’t call the fire department.

    Best Budget Knives?

    Not sure where you are located, but around me there are stores like Goodwill and similar. I have amassed quite a collection of very expensive knives by digging through their buckets of utensils every now and then. The best finds have been at a place where everything in the bucket is $1. Some...

    My New Pit Boss Electric Smoker - long post

    Pit Boss 3-Series Vertical Electric Smoker I asked around and read as much info on this smoker and Pit Boss as I could find. There really isn’t much info on this model, so now that I have one I’ll try to fill in that space a bit with my opinion. I have over 10 years with a Bradley Original...

    LEM Grinder regular bite - big bite

    Hello, I have an older LEM #8 grinder. It’s a great grinder, and I have no complaints. It did come out before they changed the auger to the Big Bite version. While looking on their web site I noticed that I could change mine to a big bite, without a conversion kit. Just buy the $25 auger...

    Electric smoker

    Hello Halibut Chaser. I was in a similar position, I have over 10 years with a Bradley, and a few months with a borrowed MES 30. I asked if anyone had experience with the new Pit Boss vertical electric smoker, the response was limited as they are fairly new to electric smokers, but have a good...

    Winter came early up here. Cold, cold, cold, and lots of snow.

    Pit Boss 3-Series Digital Electric Vertical Smoker

    Good call on Home Depot as they have a price matching policy that will match a lower price and take another 10% off the new price. Walmart had this model on for less than Home Depot, so I saved another 10% off the Walmart price. Looking forward to trying this unit out. Thanks. I’ve also...

    Pit Boss 3-Series Digital Electric Vertical Smoker

    Hello, new here. Did the intro page. I have some questions about the Pit Boss 3-Series Digital Electric Vertical Smoker. I have been smoking food for about 10 years with a Bradley Original Smoker. It has been a great smoker over the years, always worked as it was supposed to. My only complaint...
