    I'm not worried. I don't sweat the small stuff anymore. Age did that to me!

    James jerky drier - again

    Perhaps so. Perhaps so. I was just trying to be cooperative and do as they asked. I don't really understand why they didn't just compare the pics I sent them, how this one was wired, against one of their new ones and see if they were wired the same? But at this point they have not said what...

    James jerky drier - again

    I pulled the wire out that they said to reconnect. Turns out it was soldered in. I rewired it, but it still did not run. And now it's for sure destroyed!

    James jerky drier - again

    My Jerky drier doesn't work. Brand new and just got it out of the package. I contacted the company. They asked for pictures. I sent them. They think it might be wired wrong and the black and red wire might need to go to the open connector rather than as a ground the way mine is wired. They want...

    James jerky drier

    I have a James Jerky drier which came with my smoker. There was no directions and nowhere on Youtube is it shown how to use the thing. Anybody here use it? What does it do and how do you use it?

    Serial Number location on smokin-it smokers

    It's on a big metal plate on the back of the smoker. Hard to miss unless you're blind I'm thinking now.

    Serial Number location on smokin-it smokers

    Where can you find the serial numbers on a smokin-it smoker. I have the 3.5 model. It is required to register it. Thanks

    Amount of wood to add to an electric smoker confusion:

    I'm having difficulty understanding why you can only add a few ounces of wood to an electric smoker, so it doesn't make the meat taste bad. But, on a stick burner smoker, you add tons of wood. What is it about an electric smoker that more wood ruins the meat, versus the stick burner that adding...

    Do you believe hanging them is better than laying them on trays?

    Pro Series Smoker Model #3.5DW- hang or on trays

    I ordered the Pro Series 3.5 DW. It comes with trays. I'm not sure about the pros and cons of hanging meat vs laying them on trays. But if I wanted to hang meat like snack sticks, how best to do it in these units? Wood dowels? Aluminum conduit? Something else? I do not believe they come with...

    Hanging or on trays?

    When smoking snack sticks, what are the pros and cons of laying them on trays in the smoker, verses hanging them? Is one method better than the other?

    High Temp cheese

    I have been using high temp cheese in my snack sticks. But here's my question: On recipes where you have the meat and cheese in a casing, couldn't you just cut up block cheese and make that work? It's not like it's going to melt and drip out. Why wouldn't it work? I can understand why with...

    Looking for a slow smoker recommendation that takes wood chips.

    I've been doing just that. So far mostly cheap stuff coming up.

    Looking for a slow smoker recommendation that takes wood chips.

    I looked at the Cabelas model. What I don't like is that it uses sawdust only. And I live in the woods and want to be able to cut my own hickory chips, vs just buying all my fuel.

    Looking for a slow smoker recommendation that takes wood chips.

    You are correct about the high prices! Sometimes I wonder how much better these are than just running down to menards and picking up one of their Mastercraft units for a couple hundred bucks??

    Looking for a slow smoker recommendation that takes wood chips.

    I'm looking at smokers from Smokin Tex such as the Pro 1460, versus Pro Smokers, vs Smokin it, such as the Pro Classic 100. Or even the Pro Max 100 which is a bit over my comfort range in money. What would you recommend? https://www.smokintex.com/shop/p/pro-1460-everythingbut-bundle...
