Welcome from western Canada Timbo.

Just thought I would let you know I did my 13th rib smoke, since I got my #1  2 years ago and wife and I just love this little guy. and 5 smokes of Jerky. 

I smoked up a batch of ribs yesterday as it was warmer above freezing and I think my wood is to dry as Ribs did not burn but close to it I read some where not to soak wood in water so how should I add moisture to my apple wood?  Ribs were good  they were not wasted just surprised that  the wood...

For the last 2 weeks it has been cold here in western Canada warms up to -5 F then a strong wind at night down to -12 to 15 F .  Life is not fun  with out smoker smoke :'( :'(

I received my new replacement Jerky Dryer. it works perfect now just have to make a batch of Jerky. :) I am really happy with the service form Steve.

With my #1 the dryer should work good. When the Jerky is ready for the smoker do you use the dryer for a hr or so to dry before smoking or after wards. Also when I smoke Salmon can I used the Jerky Dryer to dry salmon before I smoke?? Thanks Hank R

Going to Vancouver to pick up Gran kids at Ferry and 12 year old Gran son wants to smoke every second day  or more, Costco here we come on the way home.  I am sure we will both have fun and learn lots.  Wife thinks no cooking for her all next week. ;) ;)

Got brave after lots of reading, and working on my first Jerky with my #1.  Did the marinade for 12 hrs and now in smoker having fun so far. ;)

I got my cart for my #1 made but spent 35 minutes trying to upload 4 pictures Is there some one that would post pictures for me please.

Used my #1 today for the first time and all 3 of us were surprised how tender and moist  the ribs were.  Almost fall of the bone,  did my own rub and rest in fridge over night.  225 for 4.5 hrs and no peak. The only thing is I used the flavor saver with a cup of Apple juice and it seems the some...

Well I ordered my #1 this morning, hope I did it right. After sitting on the fence for 2 months thought I better get it done before the Tarriff's make it to costly.

My neighbor has a huge Oranmental Cherry tree and has cut  down is that wood okay to use for smoking?? I did the Goggle thing and some say good and others say not to use. So I am asking real use members here.  Wood is free and up to 10 in in diameter.
