Hello

[nellinger]

Hello everyone, I live in ohio and have been smoking for about 4 years now. I have a New Bradley original smoker and just obtained a 24" smoke vault. Have never used a propane smoker so here to get some pointers before my first smoke with it.

Welcome to SMF!
Nice to have you here.

I've had a CCSV24" for a little while now and am enjoying it very much, satisfied customer.
There are a few things to watch for...

The burner is susceptible to being blown out by strong winds.
Wood or cardboard on three side pretty much eliminates this problem.

It's burner control is very touchy, make very small adjustments, observe burner when making adjustments till you get used to making them.
A little goes a long way, take up the slack in the knob till it resists and then make 1/16" change at a time.

It takes a bit to attain higher temps, but it'll get there, e.g. temp 350'-400'F.

Chunks work better than chips for me.

Use the search function and read past postings on the CCSV smokers.

Welcome. I have a Bradley Digital. Still learning on that!

The SV24 is a fantastic smoker.

I've had one for several years.

It will only take a couple of smokes to get it figured out.

I use chips & chunks to get the smoke rolling, then add 1 chunk every hour or when it stops smoking.

After a few times you will be able to tell just by looking at the flame, what the temp will be.
