After many months of planning my mini and taking some great suggestions from this board, I have finally pulled the trigger and started cutting & drilling. My biggest reason for wanting a mini is for the portability factor. I wanted to be able to pick it up and take it anywhere without hassle...

If I knew how to cook anything that resembled OK Joe's, I'd quit my job & open a restaurant! First of all, Barry, glad you made the trek to KC & enjoyed some of our finest BBQ. I am fortunate enough to live near a number of excellent BBQ joints and Joe's is at the top of the list. My claim to...

Last weekend I used an entire can of easy-off oven cleaner on the outside of the WSM & in the charcoal bowl. I let it sit for 10-min or so and then used a soft scrub brush. Then I eventually hosed all of it off. It looks AMAZING!!

I see a number of people doing the thermometer hole out of a lamp rod. The only one that I can find is a brass rod that's zinc plated. Is that safe to use? Thanks.

Mike, that really interests me as I was thinking that putting them horizontally as I thought that would be easier. Can you primo vide some more detail? Thanks.

Doing this mod next weekend, any tips or things you'd do differently?

Robert- Are there any problems with the thermometer slipping out? Since the "reader" is heavier than the stem, should I worry about it falling?

Hi Jeff, I'll try to answer all of your questions here. Vents: I leave the top & bottom 100% open Melting: the key is to keep the smoker lower than 90 degrees. I only smoke cheese when it's nice & cool outside and with 3 pieces of charcoal & 1 piece of wood, my temps rarely even get above 50...

Hi James, I just out it int he fridge for a few weeks. With it being vacuum sealed, it stays fresh.

Hi folks- I've done quite a bit of smoked cheese and wanted to show you my setup. First, I balance the charcoal grate between the top of the bottom part of the smoker & my chimney [/URL][/IMG] Then I use my plumbers propane tank to start the fire. Only 3 pieces of charcoal. [/URL][/IMG]...

Hey Rick- Can you tell me the measurements of the remaining bottom of the pot after you cut your hole for the cake pan? I'm trying to determine if a stainless steel L bracket will work. Thanks!

Thanks Chris. I'll post my build here soon!!

Thanks guys, I followed the man code and did the following: 1) Took everything out of the box 2) Put the directions aside 3) Assembled the smoker correctly 4) Looked at the manual (pictures only) 5) reached out to the crowd at TVWBB I do see how they work but wanted to confirm since they were...

!!!STUPID QUESTION ALERT!!! I just unpacked my SJG and see that the dampers on the bottom bowl are a little different than the typical dampers. Can someone take a few pics of the dampers & how they work? It would be much appreciated. My build will be occurring the last weekend in March & I...

Hey John, I smoke cheese all the time and here's my latest post http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?4646...e-cheese-smoke! I usually do 3 pieces of charcoal & 1 piece of wood and smoke for 1-hr. If I were you, I'd start with 1-hr for your first smoke and then see if you want more smoke for the 2nd...

Take your charcoal grate and balance it between the smoker & your chimney (just lay the grate on top of them & it'll stay). Then use the propane torch to light the charcoal & the wood from the bottom. That way, you don't have to hold the tongs. The grate won't be hot since you only have 2-3...

I'm planning on doing a round of Moink Balls this weekend but I only have 1 problem... I've never done them before. A couple of questions: 1) pre-made, frozen meatballs or home made meatballs? 2) if home made, do you pre-cook the meatballs? 3) how long do you smoke them for? 4) other...

I assume everyone is making the charcoal ring for their mini with expanded sheet metal but I haven't seen many examples. If you've made one, do you mind posting pics & suggestions? Happy Smoking.

Thanks Man, I went through all of the Paul's on the member search last night and agree that he's off the board. Thanks again!
