I finally tried out my Foodsaver V4800 that I got as a Christmas gift. It seems to be a very nice unit. The included accessories and bags sounds very similar to what was described above, except it also came with a small deli container... I know it came from Costco but I'm unsure of the...

I have done probably 10 overnight cooks in my 22.5 WSM and have not found a need for water in the pan or an ATC. I simply use the temp alarm feature on my Maverick 732 and once I'm convinced the temp has settled in where I want it I go to bed. If the vents need to be adjusted or the fuel...

I have been trying to convince myself to order one of these for a while now so this offer was the last straw. I went ahead and ordered a blue backlit model. I think I got lucky because I had the shopping cart tab open all weekend and placed the order on Monday. After I placed the order I went...

Great looking pics Dave! I did the same cook Saturday evening to reheat for the game Sunday. My brother and I were doing some boozing Saturday so I didn't take any pics, but mine looked nearly identical to yours and tasted terrific! The only difference was my cooker was surrounded by snow and...

As long as the weather cooperates I'm planning my first attempt at PSB. I'm stoked to say the least! Unfortunately, I'm more excited about the food than the game as my beloved Bears couldn't be bothered to get into the playoffs... I have to root for Manning even though his last superbowl ring...

I have used a smoker box in my "Jenn Air" (sorry guys) gasser for a few years now. I don't feel it provides enough smoke for long low n slow cooks but I think it adds a nice hint of smoke to quicker cooking foods like wings and brats that I do indirect for most of the cook then kick up the heat...

Thanks for the informative post Chad! The model and serial # was worn off the old genesis at my families cottage so I now know its a 2000 ng. I replaced the flavor bars last year, but that's as far as my restoration got. I'm currently in talks with rcplanebuyer on ebay to purchase new shelf...

I picked up a few chuck roasts value packs today on a "one day meat stock up sale" for $2.99/#. I'm hoping the weather improves for super bowl weekend so I can attempt my first PSB cook. I've been drooling over this post since I joined, I cant believe I haven't made it yet.

Looks real nice. That's a cool method of hanging the diffuser. I hope your clay saucer lasts longer than mine did. Mine cracked in half after only my second cook which happened to be high heat for chicken... I've just been using a metal cake pan since then.

Lookin good! I'm sure you'll be thrilled with the results! That is also a phenomenal price you got on that belly! The belly I bought this summer cost something like $3.65/# which is good, my only complaint was, it was skin on... Thats the only round of bacon I've done so far, but it turned...

That is a very interesting idea. I can't say it hasn't been done, but I have certainly never seen it. Based on how the inside of my smokers look, I don't think you're going to be able to see in there for long... don't let that discourage you though! You intrigued me, I just looked at my...

I've tried a few different things as well and seem to have the most luck with a simple butter knife. I just put a dollop on the end and smear it in as deep as possible and use the edge of the pepper to clean the knife completely. Depending on the size of the pepper I can usually fill them with...

Just to be clear, that is three separate items for a total of $97.53 As to the OP, I have been checking out the A-maze-n smoker lately after seeing a couple cold smoke threads mention it but I haven't bought one just yet...

Thanks for sharing! I'm sure it will become one of our staple sides.
