    Traeger Pro 780 modifications??

    Thanks everyone for the input. I did go get a smoke tube. I liked it so much I got a second one. The second one is really just for very long smokes. I find that I get about 4 hours of smoke per tube. Having th second one just allowed me to keep going with one lit as the other one burns out. The...

    That's a whole lot of butt!

    I did a fund raiser this last weekend for my Dads church. Unfortunately, I only took this one pic. But there is 24 pork butts in my smoker. When thouse came out, we put on 20 chickens. It was 29 straight hours of manning the smoker but it all turned out great.

    Traeger Pro 780 modifications??

    I love my new Traeger Pro 780. It is a definite upgrade from my old cabinet smoker that finally rusted out. However, I can’t get enough smoke flavor out of it. When I smoke, there is no visible smoke at all. I know what TBS looks like. This is zero. Zip. Nadda. I googled reviews and apparently...

    Using my phone

    Let me start by saying I am NOT techy. I want to be. But, I'm 51 and it doesn't come easy to me like it does some folks. I have reviewed some thermo's and I seem to find plenty that operate from my phone so long as I'm within a certain range of the smoker. But, is there one that works even if...

    Website that sales pre-fab door latches, air intakes, dampers?

    Thanks bmudd, this isn't the exact site I was looking for but it looks like a great place for dampers. I appreciate the help.

    Website that sales pre-fab door latches, air intakes, dampers?

    I know I have seen a site that several builders have recommended in their builds. But for the life of me I can't find one now and I can't think of what to search.

    Building a whole hog smoker on the cheap. What are your thoughts? (Q-view)

    We made some progress on the smoker today. The only problem was we got some pretty bad warping in the door. Note sure what I'll do about that. I thought we were being careful to do the stich style welding. I guess not good enough. My nephew Tyler came to help today. He has pretty made...

    Building a whole hog smoker on the cheap. What are your thoughts? (Q-view)

    Thanks for the input Dave. I will totally incorporate some version of the FB cover. I would like to avoid the run away fire if possible. I may give the smoker a trial run before doing the sand/brick idea. I totally get the idea of retaining the heat but worried that would make cleaning the...
