I have been thinking about ribs so I decided to take it apart because the fix I kept seeing was fairly easy enough. Got it apart and looked at the connections at the heating...

    Cold smoke plate vs AMNPS

    I have a question I hope I can get some help on.  Soon I will be ordering my first smoker and one of the things I'll be looking to do is some cold smoking.  I'm getting a Smokin' It #1 and on their website there is a cold smoke plate that can be purchased.  I also know a lot of people on the...

    Greetings!

    Hello everyone!  I've been reading the forums for quite some time trying to absorb as much information as I could before purchasing my first smoker.  I've finally decided to purchase a Smokin' It #1 and the order will be placed in a week or so.  I decided on this model because I live up in the...
