Title: New #4
Post by: paidin on February 15, 2015, 05:53:25 PM

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I picked up a #4 from Steve at the NWTF show in Nashville.  I seasoned it for about 4 or so hours.  You can see the smoke coming from the hole on the top as well as the upper right and lower right corners of the door while breaking in the smoker.  I have been trying to look through these forums to find out if and how you can use the PID to smoke at temps higher than 250 degrees.  If any of you guys can help point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it :)

Thanks!

Here is the smoker in its birthday suit (sans seasonings).  This is the last time anyone will see it so pretty

Welcome to the #4 club.  It is thin air up here so far.  Looking forward to your experiences.  Check out the Auber bypass threads for utilizing the higher cooking temps.  I did the bypass but not the switch for going back and forth.

Oh wow, Paul, you did it right!  I see you went for 6 regular and 6 seafood racks, as well as the jerky shelf holder!  You should be able to smoke about 1,000 lbs of jerky in that rig! ;)   Just kidding!  You won't be able to do more than 500! LoL!  Seriously, though, that's a LOT of Real-Q-Estate!  You should be able to smoke for a little league team, or a small army.

I look forward to news of your massive successes in the #4!

You are going to enjoy this smoker. I've only had time to do 4 different smokes with mine and they all turned out good. I still have alot to learn and as you will find there is alot of great info on this forum.

Thanks for the welcome guys!  Unfortunately, my cover is frozen right now.  Not sure if I should try cracking it open.  I have 6 pounds of ribeye roast ready to get smoked and eaten...

Man that #4 has a lot of shelves...nice. I don't mean to rub it in (no pun intended), but I'm glad I live in Florida.
