TSM Red Roof

[jkc64]

Got a call from TSM this morning to verify that I still wanted the smoker and shipping address. They also wanted to make sure someone was going to be there to sign for it. Tracking shows Friday delivery, we'll see given the holiday shipping and the weather moving in.

I'd be looking forward to that delivery!

Got it Thursday and unpacked it enough to verify there was no damage. Planning to get it put together this week and hopefully ready to use next weekend. I went through the instructions and there way no mention of seasoning it. I'll call TSM next week and see what they say about it.

Congrats, those are some nice units!

Since @BGKYSmoker has one he can probably give you seasoning advice

Conrats on your new toy... I would start by washing all the grates and anything else inside with warm soapy water ...

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Wash all the racks and rack holders, your wood pan. Put it all back together and fire it to 250 if you can get it there, do a burn in for and hour then lower the temp with some wood and season the inside for couple hours.

Awesome new toy and a great Christmas time gift!! Enjoy it and post up some pictures when you get a chance.

Was going to put it all together today. The bottom edge is damaged, I'll call TSM tomorrow and see what needs to be done. It's not real bad but for the price...

 

[tbern]

That's too bad, hopefully they will make it right for you!

With 50"+ of snow this weekend and driving is banned, hard telling when I can get hold of them. Just hope they are all ok.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

TSM is a good company, I bet they make it right...prob snowed in or out.

I went to their store once, lots to look at.

 

[jkc64]

They emailed me Thursday for pictures. They offered an exchange or partial refund. I don't think the little bit of bent metal will create any issues so I'm just waiting to see what they offer.

 

[tbern]

Sounds good!

I was going to say a nice partial refund would be great

@BGKYSmoker how much dust do you put in the pan at a time and how long does it usually last?

@BGKYSmoker how much dust do you put in the pan at a time and how long does it usually last?

Dust I put in is kinda pile then I use a straight edge and smooth it off. Just a tad over 2 hrs at temp of 145-150

 

[jkc64]

You use a full pan?

 

[BGKYSmoker]

You use a full pan?

Yes, a full level pan. If you want longer smoke time dont be afraid to mound up the dust. TSM sells 5lb bags of dust on amazon.

If your doing sticks add about 4 Tbsp of water to the dust, when you start at a temp of 145-150 start the smoke rolling, The semi moist dust will produce a plump stick.
