    First Time: Buy Offset Wood Smoker or Pellet Grill Smoker?

    I did a quick Google search on his book, but he has a few of them. Which one are you referring to?

    Pre-Paleolithic era Treager?

    Thank you. I looked at that manual as well as a couple other manuals that say BBQ 075, and even though there’s a sticker inside the hopper of my Treager that says BBQ 075, it doesn’t look like the one I have is the same model as the ones pictured in the manuals I see on the website. I looked...

    Pre-Paleolithic era Treager?

    After almost burning my cold smokehouse down by using it to cook, I remembered that a friend of mine about 90 mins a way upgraded his old Treager and offered the Treager to me 6 months ago. Back in the summer when he offered it to me, my wife told me no that I could not have it, that I already...

    I’m up in Idaho. Not really known for BBQ or Pitmasters unfortunately.

    First Time: Buy Offset Wood Smoker or Pellet Grill Smoker?

    Probably the biggest variable that nobody is speaking about regarding the purchase of either a pellet grill or an offset smoker, and I’m not gonna start a new thread as it’ll get ugly, is that I forgot to tell everybody I’m trying to do this under the radar so my wife doesn’t kick me out into...

    Thank you! I will continue to look over the options, but everybody’s been very helpful with great information. I looked at the lone star 20 x 36 and like it a lot; however, freight alone is $800 to get it here and that’s a dealbreaker for me.

    First Time: Buy Offset Wood Smoker or Pellet Grill Smoker?

    I looked at the models of offset smoker just to educate myself. I understand they are more expensive, but he get what you pay for. I always buy once and buy right. I looked at the freight to get any of those units up to Idaho, and the cheapest shipping/freight is $800, so I’m gonna have to find...

    Thank you for the help, I will definitely look at the list and I will make up my own. Problem for me as I don’t know what features are going to be valuable on which ones aren’t. I guess I’m gonna have to get educated and find out what must have and what I can do without. Thank you again!

    Yes, that is very well stated! I really appreciate all the nuggets you just shared with me. If I did end up going with an offset smoker, knowing I’m only gonna be feeding at most 4 to 6 people and this is going to be a hobby and not a business, or anything competitive, can you recommend a brand...

    First Time: Buy Offset Wood Smoker or Pellet Grill Smoker?

    I do understand that, and yes, that is what I said. I’m curious, however, if I did get an offset smoker, am I able to allow brisket and other things to cook through the night by putting several woodchucks in, enclosing the damper door so that it burns slower, or am I gonna run into issues with...

    First Time: Buy Offset Wood Smoker or Pellet Grill Smoker?

    I am not sure what you mean? I have a smokehouse and a propane grill. Not sure wherein lies the answer there. Wanting reasons why one would recommend either a pellet or offset smoker. Looking for “the why?” It’s a big investment so hopefully I get it right.

    First Time: Buy Offset Wood Smoker or Pellet Grill Smoker?

    I have cold smokehouses, and a propane grill on my deck that I don’t really like. So want to get thoughts on if I should purchase an Offset Smoker or a Pellet Smoker? Here’s what I know: Pellet Smoker: -easy to use -set it and does all the work -maintains consistent temps without trouble...

    Almost Burned Smokehouse Down (Need Advice)

    I learned a valuable lesson last night. I got carried away, thinking I could cook and smoke in my smokehouse, figuring I have both a hot smoke House and a cold smoke House. Back in September, a friend of mine had a used Traeger he offered me and my wife told me absolutely no, that I already have...

    Almost Burned Smokehouse Down (Need Advice)

    I have been using the ThermoWorks signals. Even bought the billows for it, but have not attached it yet. I guess in all honesty, I got carried away when I saw how hot I could get in there. But I do have it fully set up for Wi-Fi and look at temps from my house. I didn’t think it was any big deal...
