Ordered #3 yesterday
« on: June 22, 2013, 11:33:47 PM »
I ordered the #3, the cart, chip screen, cover and cord holder yesterday at noon. :)
I have been researching this type of electric smoker for about a year. A friend has a Cookshack, I am hopeful the #3 is as good.

You won't be disappointed.  I have had my #3 for 3 weeks now and have enjoyed it every bit. Smoked 6 racks of baby backs and will be smoking some chicken thighs today.  Make sure you follow the directions in the box for seasoning.  Also use heavy duty foil and don't press it down, it will help when you start cleaning after a smoke.  You don't need a lot of wood 3-4 ozs by weight is good for short smokes (5 hours of less).  I did a bunch of research and always kept coming back to Smokin-it.  The owner Steve is very responsive if you email him with any questions.

Congrats on the #3!  It's a beast and will be able to feed a pretty decent sized BBQ, but still very compact (even with the cart).  Be sure to post results and pics of your first smoke!

No worries about the quality of a Smokin-it. You get the same quality of those other units and you have money left over to boot. :)

Mine shipped on 6/23 and according to FedEx should be here Friday! Cannot wait. Getting everything ready. Putting fresh  batteries in the Redi-Check. Moving the old stick burner aside to make room.

I will be checking it out when I get there after work.

As soon as you know the pit was delivered, it is now time to come down with a sudden illness so you can get home and unpack that bad boy  ;)

The boxes with the #3 and the stand were on the front porch when when I got home
just waiting to be opened.
Everything I ordered was inside and safe.
Assembling the stand was fairly easy.
Everything looks good.
It was pouring rain, so I will hopefully season it tomorrow evening.
FYI: the grills in the # 3 measure 14 5/8" by 21 3/8" and 4 come with the # 3
smoker.
Once I have the smoker mounted on the stand I will post some additional
measurements.

Welcome to the club, Thin Blue!  I went with a model 1, and couldn't be happier with the performance and quality of the unit.  But, the measurements you posted have me longing for a #3! LOL.  I can see one in my future!

Seasoned the #3 for 4 hours at 250d with two sticks of the wood that came with the smoker.
One of the wood sticks pretty much turned to ashes, the other charred on one end and does not
appear to be burned on the other.  Not sure if this is an issue or not.
Inside of smoker looks good and smells great.
Any thoughts from anyone on only one of the wood sticks burning?
All and all I am very impressed with the #3 smoker.
Next, I will put it to the REAL TEST, try some Butts over the weekend.
I posted a picture of the wood sticks, I think. If not I will better research how to post a pic.
