Costco has 34 lb bags for $20. I bought some previously and now after working my way through a third bag I feel that it burns too hot and too frequently the bag is comprised of smalls. On the plus side, it lights fast. On the downside, it is hard to control in my WSM.
That's cool. I only use one chunk of apple when doing jerky since those lumps provide enough flavor anyway. Just my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I am just on the edge of shutting it down in order to keep it at 180 deg F but it has been running perfectly all day. Only time it runs up is when it...
So that batch of jerky took a lot of work to keep the temp down. I was using the Parker Lump and what a PITA. Way too many smalls. Not from handling, just small pieces.
The jerky was worth it. I then went to GFS and got a big bag of lump and was itching to get back on track. This AM I put a...
I tried. I actually had it in the trash but I pulled the bag out. Sad. My salvation is that I have another load in the smoker right now. :)
It is 28 F outside. Not really bad. I took the center section off and put the grill on it to load as verses loading it outside. Last time I thought I might...
Hi. I had that problem ONCE while living in SC. Boy it was furry when it did happen. It was because I closed my top vent. I never cover it because it is typically stored inside but I always leave the top vent open. Never had an issue since.
I run a sand pan instead of a water pan. I had set up a run of jerky and the smoker was running a bit odd. Typically very easy to regulate but this time I just didn't have the typical finite control. I was able to slow it down for a bit by shutting everything off a couple of times but it...
No. It's fiberglass. I then took the Red Green route and used duct tape to secure it. That will react to some heat but it might surprise you.
I just did the middle and top sections. The middle section has a cut-out for the door. When I say cut-out, it still has a flap of insulation over it...
I insulated my WSM with foil backed insulation. It looks like a space ship now but boy it really holds the heat. The challenge now is to keep the temp low enough without choking it off. I runs with just one vent BARELY cracked. Anyway, it ran for 15 hrs. the other day and when I took the butt...
