    Stainless steel OK to use inside smoker?

    Hi all a quick question here, I'm making a baffle plate for my smoker and quite possibly some tuning plates. I was able to pick up some 1/8th inch stainles steel at the scrap yard, and am cutting it to fit. It occurred to me I'd better seek a wider opinion of whether stainless is okay on the...

    Learning to use an older Brinkmanns Smoke'nPit - baffle or tuning plates?

    Hi all -- Opinions sought here -- I have an older very heavy Brinkmanns' offset - much heavier than any of the offsets you see today at Lowes and HD that you can easily pick up with one hand. Not this thing... Anyhow - it has NO baffles of any kind inside. Regarding something to better block...

    Has anyone DIY'd a pellet conversion/looking for parts

    Hi all, I'm wanting to build my own pellet feeder for either my Brinkmanns offset smoker, or perhaps the MES30. I am also on a fairly low budget with the Finance Minister, so the full on pellet kits at $400-$600 are out of budget. At those prices, I should just buy a whole lower-end pellet...

    Question about a Char-Broil Tru-Infrared Commercial series

    Hi everyone -- I bought the 4-burner Char-Broil Tru-Infrared Commercial series from Lowes awhile back, after my first Char-Broil finally died after 20+ years. Really like CharBroil for their price point - just can't budget for the same size Weber or other. However - have a problem that I'm not...

    Question about electric element sizing for internal capacity of offset smoker.....

    Hi all, This may not be the right place for this thread so if The Mods want to move it to some sort of build forum that might be appropriate. On my phone I didn't see such a subforum so I figured I'd start off here. So having decided I'm not enough of a boy scout to keep a very steady fire...

    WTB - Wi-Fi smoker thermometer (non-bluetooth)

    Hi all.... I'm looking around to see who knows of a Wi-Fi barbecue thermometer. My trusty old ink bird four probe Bluetooth one is starting to become flaky. I find that I don't like Bluetooth because I live in a house with thick rock walls on the 1st floor and all I have to do is get one of...

    WTB - MES30 racks or compatible

    Hi everyone - I have been given a secondhand MES 30, the older analog type. It only has one cooking rack in it. I would like to get the other three, but the only online sources I see are for pairs of racks, and I don't really need five racks after I order two pairs to get three.... I'm also...

    MES30 - question about electric element

    Hi all - I've got a MES30 I was given, which I've been rebuilding. It's the older analog 30 One thing I noticed while cleaning it up - It has two permanently installed left-to-right chromed metal bars in the bottom, riveted into the walls off the smoker. The element is mounted from the...

    How to mailbox-mod a MES30 without the side-load chip feeder port?

    Hi everyone - I'm sure this has been done before- I just got given a completely free MES30, specifically it is the 20070210 version (see pic below) which only has the internal chip tray, not the later version with the tube that slides in from the side, and dumps chips into a covered tray. I've...

    Cold Smoker and crockpot for smoking various meats?

    Just curious -- Has anyone ever tried using any type of cold smoke injector in conjunction with a crockpot to smoke any kind of meat? My wife loves to crockpot various pieces of pork, chicken, etc. I'd love to find a way to gently add smoke to some of those, for part of the cooking time...

    Ribs on the CharBroil with A-Maze-N-Smoker (with Qview)

    Here is a set of ribs I just finished up -- I spent the entire day up on the roof of the house working on ripping off and replacing the roof around the chimney. Thanks to Todd and the A-Maze-N-Smoker, these didn't require any attention from me at all for the smoking. I get to have perfectly...

    Weber kettle - Would you use one of the A-Maze-N models, or the Smokenator??

    A friend of mine is considering getting a Weber Kettle  He's considering whether to use a Smokenator with it, or I'm recommending an Amazen. Personally, and it's only IMO, I feel that it would be a  PITA to have to remove the food, grill grate, etc to get at the Smokenator, whereas the AMNPS...
