Onto my 2nd attempt at makin bacon. My first attempt (https://www.smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=5867) went well but I thought it was a little too salty. I followed Pork belly’s salt box method (http://smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=1797.0) and used it all. After reading a little...

Getting ready for a 9.83# bone in pork butt for Sunday! Been brining since Wednesday at about 7:45 pm. Gonna take it out around 10pm Saturday night, making for a little more than 72 hours in the brine. Toss in the smoker(#2) between 10-10:30pm, coating in yellow mustard and using my rub recipe...

Please help! I'm 1 day into a 3 day jerky smoke and I have a problem now. I was making jerky today and when I went to turn of the smoker, the dial popped off as I was turning it. Isn't the inside of the dial supposed to have a flat side (like the letter D) to fit over the piece coming up from...

I just completed my first jerky smoke this past weekend and I'm extremely happy with the results. After reading many of the different posts here, I decided to use most of what was contained in these 2 since they were very similar: http://smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=4626.0...

Got some preseasoned ribs from Costco as a quick on the spot decision for dinner. Tossed them in the smoker at 12pm and set for 235 with 3.5 oz of hickory. I ended up breaking each rack in half to fit them easier. Checked 4.5 hrs later and the toothpicks broke so I shut the door for another 30...

I received the cold smoke plate for Christmas from my in-laws and the jerky dryer from my wife! I'm excited to put both to work but am going to start with the cold smoke plate and make some bacon! Oh and a vacuum sealer too haha I'll be giving Pork Belly's cure a try with some bellies I plan on...

My wife and I are having friends over this weekend and I'm starting to plan a smoke for this Friday. At first I thought they were coming over on Saturday so I would've had all day Friday to prep the meat cause I took off of work. It turns out they are coming Friday instead and now I'm left with...

Has anyone seen this on kickstarter? I just randomly came across it and looks like it will be well made and some cool features. It's got 30 days to go still so I have time to think it over, but I think I may grab one. I just figured I'd share with you all...

I've made a fairly last minute decision (I still have to buy them) and decided to smoke some chicken wings tomorrow. Giants don't play till Monday night so I've got some time to play around on Sunday. (Sorry to all the cowboys fans out there, please don't let that stop you from giving me great...

Really excited for my first smoke ever! Just got the #2 as a birthday gift and have started the prep work for my first butt. I've already gotten some great tips on my other post, so really looking forward to how this and future smokes turn out. Live with my awesome wife and our dog & cat. It's...

Just got my model 2 smoker delivered as a birthday gift from my awesome wife and both of our parents!  I'm seasoning it now and the hickory smells so good, I can't wait till I add meat to the equation! We are having our parents over on Saturday and I want to break it in. I'm trying to decide...
