Welcome from PA!

Good deal for someone too far away from me good pics.

Brisket, Costco or Sam's: I have access to both and I have read a lot on the SI Forum about Costco briskets but not about Sam's. Can anyone vouch for Sam's brisket as they currently have "Prime" packers in stock while my local Costco only has Choice Flats. I always get my bone-in butts at Sam's...

Anova Precision Cooker Nano is offered @ $99 and can be had fo $80 at Best Buy using a discover card (20% off 1 small appliance) but at 750 watt is it underpowered? Option is the wifi model @ 900 watt and $159 direct from Avona I love a bargain and I'm leaning toward the Nano but would hate...

I just started browsing the Sous Vide world and came across this: $40 for a VonShef Premium 8 Liter Sous Vide/Water Oven... Lots of reviews mostly good but many bad. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NMIRSTI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2869E9NXGD6WI&psc=1#customerReviews I see most here on...

Just noticed this SI popular Rub today at Costco not sure how long they have been selling Bad Byrons butt Rub.  Best price that I have seen. $8.79  26 oz

GrillEye Smart Bluetooth Grilling & Smoking Thermometer $70/$80: 6 probe *True long-range Bluetooth. Another BT thermometer that I noticed in a Costco flyer. Also cheaper at Home Depot & others but Costco include 4 probes and return policy is superior. Ralph

I'm guessing that most have one but if not: Classic Thermapen $59.00 ON SALE!  Normally $79 http://www.thermoworks.com/Classic-Thermapen

I have thawed a 12.84lb turkey and started smoking it @ 9:50 this AM Using just over 4oz of pecan and set PID for 275 until IT of 163 is reached. I'm guessing that it will take around 4 hrs. based on a post by Steve (DE).  I also plan on putting it in the gasser for a short time as an experment...

1st smoke using Auber #2 probe(meat) on Model-2 smoking 5.5 lb chicken, brined 4 hrs, and stuffed with mirepoix. 2 oz cherry(Smokin’ Hot Chips and Chunks), using the attached Auber settings. 225 for 2 hours 225 until 140 IT 350 until 160 IT After 2:15 the IT is 133 which seems slow to me...

Most of us have a 700w element in our model #2. Steve now offers a 800w element and I'm thinking that it would be useful to attain smoking temps faster and possible be more efficient with or without the Auber. Any thoughts? Has anyone already done the upgrade?

My SI-2 is now modified w/bypass switch and I'm anxious to try it out. I have a 5 1/2 lb frozen chicken that wants to be smoked and I would love to oblige her and end up with a nicely browned and crispy skin. A 10 lb turkey is waiting in the wings (no pun intended) I must confess that I haven't...

I installed this switch: Red Pilot Lamp DPDT Waterproof Snap in Rocker Switch 16A 250VAC 20A 125VAC  It's fairly simple/easy once you build up enough courage to cut into the nice shiny Stainless Steel housing with a Dremel tool..  :-\ Thanks to the pioneers here in The Smokin-It forum that...
