3D should arrive today.
« on: November 10, 2016, 04:41:07 PM »
Looking forward to getting started.  I've had an electric smoker before (an old bullet type), but never spent much time with it.....I plan on changing that with all the help that appears to be available here.

I've poured over this forum and I'm looking forward to being part of this community and hope someday to have something valuable to contribute.

In the meantime, I'll mind my manners, ask a few questions, and learn from the experts.

Thanks!

Randy in San Antonio

Welcome from ND Randy!

Choosing Smokin-It and coming to this forum were both excellent choices to begin this journey into high-quality electric smoker hobby.

Hi Randy and welcome from the Keys. You will love your 3D. the #3s are imo the ideal size-not too big, not too little (others will disagree!). Anyway welcome to the forum; lots of good information and friendly folks.

Thanks for the welcome.....I just finished getting it out of its boxes. That was a small project in itself.  Packed pretty tight.   Trying to be quiet while my wife was taking a nap.

Its assembled and waiting for compliments on its beauty in the entryway.  I still need to get the last of the styrofoam before my wife wakes up, though.

Randy - Welcome from SE Arizona. Those little flecks of styrofoam seem to generate static and hide everywhere. Enjoy your new smoker.

Again....thanks for the welcome.  Finally getting started today.

Brined a couple of approx 6lb chickens this morning using Tony's recipe for poultry.  Put a reg rub on one and a spicy rub on the other.

About 3pm I set the 3D to 250 and the food probe at 165.  My wife got me a ThermoWorks "Smoke"  so thats also set up to monitor cook temp and the temp in the smaller of the two birds.  so I'm watching football on  the other side of the house from the patio.  Still have to check every so often to check on the 3D's controller,  but WOW this is easy.
