    Propane smoker under $250

    Any recommendations for a propane smoker under $250? My MES just quit working after about 3 years of lots of smoking. Looks like the thermostat part quit working, it doesn't turn on when I turn the knob anymore. I think this time I wanna try a propane version. I don't do a ton of food at once so...

    Ideas for a solid diy smoker

    I've been using my mes for a couple years now and also just started using my ecb. I like the ecb a lot but it's a little small to do any real smoking for a crowd. I'm also not rich and live on a budget. Any suggestions for cheaper diy smoker projects? Would love to do something in the yard out...

    First fatty for 4th of July.

    And so it begins. My first cook on this ecb. No mods done at all. Hope it does OK. Seems pretty solid for the price besides this ridiculous warm ideal hot temp gauge. Thank goodness for the igrill2. We seem to be holding steady at 230-240 right now.

    First fatty for 4th of July.

    Not too bad for the first bacon weave I've ever made. Wish it was a little tighter but I'm sure it will still be good.

    First fatty for 4th of July.

    Doing my first fatty tomorrow because I couldn't think of anything more American than a big hunk of meat wrapped in a bacon weave. Filled with spinach, mushrooms, provolone, and jalapeño. Here are pics of me putting it together, I'll wrap it in bacon and throw it on the smoker tomorrow with more...

    Smoking up some turkey Drumsticks today!

    These were in for around 3 hours. Not sure what the internal temp was but they were completely done and very juicy. With drumsticks you can pretty much gauge when they are done by watching for the meat to start pulling back off the bone.

    Smoking up some turkey Drumsticks today!

    Hey Scott, thanks for the advice. I'll throw it on 30 or 40 mins ahead of time unless I hear something different. Until they get done I'm just gonna sit on the porch with a beer and smell the smoke. Love the smell of smoking meats.
