2 Butts, Too Long
Thanks for all the suggestions. I've read a couple books by some barbeque purists that discourage the use of foil - ("you're braising/roasting not barbequeing"" so I've tried to achieve the desired temps without it. However, from these posts and others I've read, it does seem to work well so... -
2 Butts, Too Long
The Redi Chek remote thermometer was pretty close to the one on the face of the smoker. I'm doubtful they were both off though I'll do a test. -
2 Butts, Too Long
I did two 8 lb. Boston Butts in my Propane Smoke Vault over the weekend -and I mean weekend - started them at 9 on Friday night and didn't take them out until 6pm on Saturday. I used a Redi-Chek thermometer and kept the temps between 210-250 with 225 as the ultimate target. Never could get... -
Tough Ribs
Thanks for the suggestions - they're all helpful and will use them next time around. As important as having the right temperature apparently seems to be, it's odd that there seems to be a general mistrust of the temperature gauges supplied wit the smokers. You would think that the... -
Tough Ribs

New Vault Owner Seeks Guidance
Thanks for the replies and especially the photo of the flame - it looks similar to mine. When set low it is more blue which is the level I've been using. This is my second smoker - the first was a Smokehouse but the construction was cheap and it was pretty bent up when I got it so it... -
New Vault Owner Seeks Guidance
The flames were like half blue/half yellow. Definetly more yellow than desired. The temp was between 225 and 250. -
New Vault Owner Seeks Guidance
I tried smoking some ribs a couple weeks ago with my new Vault propane smoker and had some problems:The flames seemed more yellow than recommended. Tried opening the bottom vents for more air flow but did not seem to help. Also tried switching from the line feed from the house to bottled propane... -
Question Regarding Propane Hook-Up
Okay, I think I'll add that regulator. My wife would have a problem with me smokin' the house instead of dinner. -
Question Regarding Propane Hook-Up
Greetings, I just bought a Vault Propane Smoker and wanted to know if I would need a regulator between the hook-up on the side of my house and the smoker. I bought a Gas Conversion Kit and it looks almost identical to the one I use for my Weber grill, which doesn't have a regulator and works...
