    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Great set up and the perfect smoker for those who use AMPS as their smoke generator.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    My experience is a little different. I now use the AMPS for all of my smoking. I think it is personal preference. For me, I found that when using the smoke box that comes with the unit the wood chunks seemed to burn up fairly quickly resulting in a lot of white smoke during the first hours of...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I should say that with my earlier post that I get fantastic bark and very moist results. I don't know if it possible to make it better. But like someone said, experimentation answers all questions.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I usually set my SI 1 to approximately 210 on the dial. It fluctuates between 185 and 230 at that setting according to my ET72. Sometimes when smoking a Boston Butt I'll crank it all the way up to 250, but only when it stalls during a long smoke. I've used this smoker heavily during this...

    Great looking smoker. Crazy weather here in GA as well. However I will hang some sausage to smoke in my humble SI1 in preparation for dinner tonight. Congratulations.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I love smoked cheese and sausage links. I just finished spicy sausage links smoking with AMPS and pitmaster blend pellets. I'm wondering how many years my SI1 will last at the rate I'm using it, which is almost every day that it's not raining. I'm very much impressed.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I have a SI1 now going over 3 years. I purchased an extra rack and it had served me and my wife well and will continue, I'm sure, for many years to come. I just finished a 11lb maple glazed ham and it was like a piece of smokey heaven. Like someone else said, it's easy to move or haul around if...

    How I light my AMNPS w/ video link

    Thank you for the tip. Although I never had my amaznps go out, this to saves me about half of my butane. I smoked a rib eye roast on my Smokin-IT no. 1 on Friday using this method. Thanks again.

    Pellet. I used a step drill and increased the existing drain hole to 1/2"then drilled another one just like it about an inch away behind it. Very easy.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I have an SI 1 modded for the AMPS . It took me all of 15 minutes from start to finish for the mod and feel I have a better unit because of it. I cold smoked some cheddar cheese earlier today and now drying out some jalapeños with a little added thin blue smoke. It works very well. The question...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I have one just like it. In fact I just finished an eight pound Boston Butt and I swear it gets better and better with each smoke. I've been toying with the idea of making the amazen (AMNPS?) pellet tube but I am fearful of messing it up. However I do like the idea of using pellets.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I did have to try sample and it was very good. A couple of points. First I think I might need a different thermometer and second what are you guys do with bark? I love the bark so I mix the bark in with the rest of it. Congratulations.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I usually smoke my PB's at a 210 setting which fluctuates from 190's to 220's on my Number 1. I usually figure 1.5 hours per pound plus 2 hours as a guide. When I shoot for internal temp of 200, this is usually not enough time. Plan on a stall around +170, but don't let panic set in. Time will...

    Speaking of Plateau.......

    Here is my latest smoke. I seem to learn something new every time I use this smoker. The chart represents taking hourly readings on the Maverick, with a couple of exceptions. It pretty much tells the complete story. I started the smoke at 210 degrees on the dial but got a little concerned at...

    I like the way the chart looks! What were you smoking?

    Temperature Fluctuation of the Smokin-It No 1

    I placed the whole 6 oz in at the beginning, using just Hickory wood. I think next time I probably will put in a little more around hour seven or eight since I tend to like a more heavy smoke flavor. I did not spritz nor did I place a water pan inside. I really don't think I needed it. The meat...
