I've never seen them before but the blue blazing 2 is catching my eye for apt's cheese and salmon.

Hmmm

Yeah, these are just a bit small maybe. I would like to see what all their grate sizes are. I hate that they only give square inch or cu ft. Sizes and product overall dimensions.. never grate size.

Has any one here have one as to how trouble free they are.

Don't have one yet, just saw it yesterday at Sportsman

I saw one at Sportsman's Warehouse in Silverdale Washington yesterday. They have the Series 2 for $239.99 The door has a nice gasket and latch, wood tray is large and easy access without having to open the door, 2 adjustable vents on the back. Over all very nicely built unit. The only reason I did not buy it yesterday was I wanted to see if I could find any reviews.

Cool.. I need something to use for jerky. Something in the 700-800 square inch range.

To bad you didn't get a measurement on the rack size. Am curious to know. Says 21x22 x46 but that doesn't mean anything about your rack size

I called tech support and nice guy said the racks are about 11x14" on that smoker.

 

[gmc2003]

That seems kind of small. How big are the racks on a comparable MES?

Chris

 

[Rings Я Us]

I think that guy was wrong

 

[Rings Я Us]

This gives dimensions and says 5 racks
:eek:

So Mandy at Pit Boss smokers went out to the warehouse and measured again for us. She sent a pic of the racks in the Silver Star 3 with measuring tape on the rack. 11.5 x 14.75 or so. I thanked her. Was nice. She had a model there she measured that had 4 racks.
So this smoker has a large stand it sits on evidently. The 20" plus dimensions are mostly due to that stand I reckon.
I could live with the size I think. It does have the manual chip light feature. You can turn on the heating element to start a new batch of chips going after yo change out the ash pan with old chips. Plus the 100°-400°range of heat sounds good for big loads or winds.
I guess it's a bit taller than a Masterbuilt 30 but not sure what the Masterbuilt rack size is.

You should get back with Mandy and ask her:
If an AMNPS fits in the chip tray
What are the 2 kinds of sausage
Is that high temp cheese
How much the turkey weighs/brine or injected
Are those BBs or small end spares/what sauce
Make sure to ask in that order.
:D

No kidding. Why isn't the turkey wearing melted cheese. I don't like that the spacing between the racks are all different. Instead of selecting your size by removing evenly spaced racks.

That might be plastic food. :D

 

[gmc2003]

Kurt is right, it doesn't look like the rack spacing is adjustable.

I was thinking of getting something I could use for jerky other than the bullets I have. The bullets could be modified to hold more racks. These things I figured I could squeeze in 6 racks of jerky and have better control on temps. I could flip flop racks faster I think also.
