Hi, I've been using a propane smoker lately. I'm still learning it, but all in all I like it a lot. But it sure does go through wood fast. Smoking a chicken with propane takes 3-4 times more wood than my Weber Smokey Mountain did and paying $6-$10 for those little bags of wood chunks at the...

Hi, Info here is nonexistent on this thermometer. Or at least I couldn't find it. Have any of you folks used the Acurate thermometer model # 00277? If you have, what did you think of it? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00EOLZ6R8/tvwb-20 Thanks

I figured out how to get a low temp. on the*this Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel. Instead of using the lowest setting, I ran the knob past the high setting almost all the way off and got a 210 deg. reading and it was steady for over an hour. But here's the new problem. The wood chunks won't smoke at...

Hey, I'm crossing the divide tomorrow and picking up a new smoker, yes, a PROPANE smoker. :rolleyes: Always been curious about them. It's this model; http://www.homedepot.com/p/Masterbuilt-Pro-Dual-Fuel-Smoker-20050412/202904343?MERCH=RV-_-rv_search_plp_rr-_-NA-_-202904343-_-N I already read...

I know, I know, I'm going to Hades to be slow smoked for eternity but l've been looking at propane smokers online today and have narrowed it down to two which are very similar. The only differences I can see is the one from Home Depot says it is "dual fuel," good for propane and charcoal. It's...

Hi smokers, We have a neighbor moving and he said he will sell me his propane smoker and two propane tanks for $50. I have some info on it. It's a Smoke Hollow model # 38202G and retails at around $225 and he's kept it nice. Does anyone here have experience with this model or any other Smoke...

I want to expand the use of indirect cooking in my Jumbo Joe. Did a chicken last week by shoving coals to both sides of the Joe and had to finish the chicken off in the oven to bring it up the last six degrees. Cost aside, I'd like to hear your opinions on the charcoal baskets, charcoal rails...

What size cooking grate does the 2015 Jumbo Joe take? Please answer from first hand experienece. I ask for first hand experience because, as usual, I'm finding ontradictory info out there. Some people say an 18.5 grate for an 18.5 One Touch will fit a JJ just fine. Others said only Weber...

I decided to break down and pay full price on a Jumbo Joe since I couldn't find one on sale. Went to Walmart and when it was scanned at the counter it was $40 even. The cashier said it was either an unadvertised Labor Day sale price or an unadvertised clearance sale. Either way, I was happy...

What's the difference between the Jumbo Joe and the Jumbo Joe Gold? Is one better than the other? Is so, why? Thanks

Hey, Why did Weber discontinue the 18.5 OTG? Was it not selling? I want an OTG but the 22" version is just to big for my uses. Is it difficult to convert the 18.5 OTS to a 18.5 OTG?

Hi, I bought a Brinkmann water pan to replace the Weber water pan on my 18.5 WSM. The fit is much better. I can add fuel, wood and stir the coals much easier now. This question is for people who are already using the Brinkmann water pan. Has yours developed (for lack of a better description)...

Double post.

Hello, I have about 2.5 lbs of bottom round cut into 1/4" strips that will be done marinating in a couple of hours. I have never used my 18.5" WSM for making jerky and have a few questions. First, I'm going to use Stubb's briquettes. How much should I use and how should I set up the...

Hey, I'm going to be smoking a couple of whole chickens tomorrow. I generally use cherry or pecan wood or a combination thereof. I'm thinking of trying something different this time. What are you guys using to smoke chicken and why? Thanks.

Will this crisp up chicken skin using a WSM? Towards the end of a whole chicken smoke, dump a new chimney of glowing ready coals in the bowl. When the chicken reaches around 160, remove the middle section pf the WSM, place the grate directly over the charcoal bowl and put the dome over the...

Hi, I'm using too many thermometers on my 18.5 WSM. They used to be security bankets for me but it occurred to me today that I don't need them. Besides an internal probe in the meat, I have been using 3 thermometers for way too long. These days I look at their readings as just a curiosity more...

Hi, Good sale going on, so I'm gonna be stocking up on a couple of Boston Butts. I'm looking for tips on long term Butt storage. And if stored properly, about how long will a Butt last in the freezer before it goes around the bend? Thanks

Winn Dixie is selling butts in the Tampa Bay area for $1.49 per lb. I don't know about other areas. Sale is 2/22-2/24 only. I picked up one today, just over 8lbs for $11.99. Good enough.
