Hello,
I have read that Smokin It offers specials with extra items. Does anyone know of any deals right now or have you recieved any notification of any upcoming specials?
I am interested in ordering but I'm in no hurry since I have three stick burners and a large pellet smoker. Hoping to purchase when the next deal comes around.
Thanks!!

Call Steve at SI and ask I bet he will throw you something. I was like you 6 months ago 2 stick burners and vertical propane, started looking into pellet burners and came really close to pulling the trigger on the Yoder 640, really glad I didn't. These electric smokers are so easy and fool proof it's amazing, I'll put 2 pork butts in and leave for 12 hours and come home to amazing Q, and with the addition of the Auber controller it bumps it up to almost perfect IMO, I have never regretted my purchase of the #2 now I'm smoking 2-3 days a week....lazy q at it's finest!!!! Hang out on the forum and you'll be converted in no time!!!

Hi Firebug! You've found the right place to learn about these incredible smokers. You won't believe how easy really, really good Q can be! The one thing I really like, over "traditional" smokers (other than the simplicity), is that you get a "true" wood smoke flavor, and you can really focus on the meat prep. This brings out the smoke and seasoning flavor like you wouldn't believe.
Give Steve a shout, or text him at 260-417-9951. Great guy, and a great company!

Hey Firebug, you won't regret picking up one of these smokers. It really is easy to produce some great Q without having to stand by and monitor your smoker all day.

I'm also waiting on the 4th July specials. Really want a cover or rib rack but we will see what they offer.

Looks like Steve will be including a black cover, starting July 4th!

Just my two cents... I held out for black Monday and rib hooks. when I hang the ribs it causes those closest to the burner to be too done so after six months I tossed them.
It's not a bad thing.... Just not for me. I'm just suggesting consider making the purchase and learn what you may need.
Obviously a cover is a winner.
Lilly flavor savor ok.... But I learned hanging it was no good... Had to cut the tabs off to be able to slide next to the heater element to increase the moisture.
Also if getting an Auber... See if you can get the permanent mount probe from the Auber so you don't have to buy it separate.
-
Good point about the rib hooks, Steve! I don't know of anyone who has used them successfully. I was hesitant to get them for 2 reasons: First, what you mentioned (uneven cooking), and secondly, the racks breaking and falling to the bottom! I cook my ribs to "fall off the bone" tender, so I was afraid the weight of the ribs would pull them apart! I'd be really ticked-off if I opened the door and all my ribs were lying on the smoke box roasting! lol.
-
Yah right ... Or said another way cooking ribs is so easy in these units you have no need for rib hooks.
There are units that use them ... One in a commercial sized smoker the size of a small bedroom... In that case it made good sense.
So buy the unit fellas. ???

Nice! I'll be in for that deal.

Just waiting on the word to order!

My kids got me the rib rack for the #2 for Father's Day. Holds up to 3.5 racks of ribs, and I love it! Ribs have never been better...
-
I think the rib rack would be a lot more useful than the rib hooks that Steve often tries to give away.
I think he has a ton of them that no one is ordering and is trying to get rid of them. ;)
I have a rib rack that I used to use in my old smoker and on the grill. But with the #3, I have yet to need it and doubt that I ever will.
For anyone with a #1 or #2, I could see it being pretty useful.
-
My plan is to put my free rib hooks in the vice and fashion them into shorter sausage hooks. I don't think my #3 is tall enough to hang ribs.
I appreciate the gift of the hooks and chip screen, but would have still bought the smoker without them. In fact I had to delete the screen from my cart I had already added it before I read the special notice.

The rib rack is cool, but I can actually fit 3 1/2 racks in a #1, on 4 shelves. That ain't bad for the little guy!

Where does it say the black cover is included?
Thanks!

I have no luck getting anyone on the phone or call backs. So, email him - Steve usually gets back to you within the hour. ;)

Waiting for the 4th July specials to order my #2.

My #3 is ordered!! The #2 was very tempting due to price but I like the fact the #3 can smoke whole ribs without cutting them down.

Pull the trigger - you get a $30 cover!
