Greeting From MN

Hi All

I just this forum not to long ago and I already learn allot. I have 36' Smoke Mountain Vertical Smoker. I will soon to have a Yoder Chisholm II Trailer Smoker. I been doing allot of baby back ribs in my little smoker and they turn out great. I just order a Smoke  Daddy Generator to put on my little smoker. I hope to start to enter competitions next year when I get use to my new Yoder Smoker that's something I always wanted to do so I will be taking the leap.

That's about it for now and I hope to learn more from this site

Congratulations on buying the Yoder, Sorry about your choice of a Smoke Daddy, you would have done better with an Amaze-N-Smoker. http://www.amazenproducts.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=12

 

Welcome to SMF, Glad to have you with us.


This is the place to learn, lots of good info and helpful friendly Members.
 

Many of our members have years of experience in smoking meat.  They are more than happy helping Newbies learn the art.
 

We have members who cure there own Bacon, Hams, Jerky, Snack Sticks, Make Their own Sausage, etc. if you want to learn,
this is the place. 
 

Don't be afraid to ask questions of them and follow their advice. You won't be sorry, you will be making great Q in no time at all...

Just remember, when curing your own meats follow the instructions included with the cure to the letter, this is not something to experiment with.  


Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.
 

Tender Quick and Cure#1 or Cure #2 are not interchangeable, neither Cure #1 interchangeable with Cure #2 or vise versa

The AMNS is cheaper, easier to use, will burn for up to 8 hrs on one load, requires no air pump, doesn't produce the Creosote that the Smoke Daddy does, has no moving parts to break or lose, is made entirely out of 304 stainless steel, and will last a lifetime.  And last but not least is manufactured in the USA in Minnesota by one of out members.

I have 4 of them, 3 AMNS (Saw Dust Models) (1) 6x6, (2) 6x8s, and a (1) 8x5 AMNPS (Pellet Model).  

I can't imagine  ever getting by without them once I got the first one...

You will find this site is not real partial to Smoke Daddy...  Over priced Creosote Machines...
