    ORION SMOKERS ???

    I've had an Orion for a couple of years. I like to do my pork butts and briskets in them. I can do two 8lb butts in four hours and one load of coal if it's not windy. They are a great little tool to have in your line up. Almost impossible to mess up a cook. Sometimes 6 racks of babby backs in...

    Orion Smokers input??

    I bought an Orion a few months back, they are great. They combine convection, smoking, and steaming in one unit. They are fast, you can do six racks of BB Ribs in 1hr 15min   A whole 20lb turkey in about 2hr 15min, and it is moist, moist, moist. They do use the coal, you need 13 1/2 lbs of coal...
