    How good is the Smoke Hollow 44" smoker ?

    I've been using an Amazen Smoker Tube (AMST??) with my Smoke Hollow 44.  When I am cold smoking everything seems fine, it fills the smoker with smoke and it exits from the smoke stack vent on top.  But when the heat is on, it seems like the smoke from it is being drawn downward instead of up...

    Water Pan Question

    Is the recommendation here to not use water only meant for electric smokers?  I have always used propane smokers (on my third one now) and have found that the bigger the water pan, the more water, the easier it is to keep the temperature low and steady.  Without the water it gets way too hot...

    confused about nitrites/nitrates prague salt #1 or 2 for curing

    That's true for turkey, I have always used a wet brine for that.  Do you prefer a wet brine for fish too?

    confused about nitrites/nitrates prague salt #1 or 2 for curing

    Thanks Dave. Do you have any good recipes for a dry cure using Prague Salt #1 that is good for smoked fish (not just cold smoked but fish that will be smoked up to ~150 internal temp) and/or turkey?     It seems everything I find using Prague Salt #1 is wet brine.

    confused about nitrites/nitrates prague salt #1 or 2 for curing

    Sorry for starting up an old thread again but this seems like a good place for this question. How do you incorporate Prague Salt #1 into a dry cure?  I can see it makes sense with a wet cure, but it seems like so little is used that it would not be enough to evenly spread throughout a dry cure...

    How good is the Smoke Hollow 44" smoker ?

    Thanks!!  I'll check that out, it did not seem reall accessible when I did a quick check yesterday but I did not try very hard.  I wonder if it would be better to just replace the entire main hose from the propane to the smoker?  Or is it better to have it more directly connected to an...

    How good is the Smoke Hollow 44" smoker ?

    I actually ordered that exact one, but it does not seem to fit. I have a 44 inch.  I assume, you would put it between the hose from the propane canister and where it attaches to the smoker?  The line going from the propane to the smoker is 3/8" I think.

    How good is the Smoke Hollow 44" smoker ?

    So which kind of needle valve works best with this smoker?  I'd like to add one too, but there seems to be a lot of different kinds depending on things like PSI, hose diameter, etc.  I just want to be sure to get one that works well with this smoker.   Thanks!!! Kevin

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    Hi Wade... I smoked them Sunday and the high was about 82 and the low Sunday night was about 61.  I finished smoking around 4pm (brushed a little honey on them near the very end) when the temperature was probably in the hight 70's.  The smoking temperature was just under and around 200F, I could...

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    Thanks guys!  I've already done some research on curing since it was brought up, I'll continue to do some more.  My biggest question is, while it definitely makes sense for things like bacon and jerky, do you tend to use pink salt for everything that calls for dry or wet brine?  Like your...

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    Does it result in any different taste to what is being smoked compared to non-pink salt?

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    Thanks!  I'm OK with the 4 hours max between 40 and 140, I took it to about 155 in 3 1/2 hours. I didn't know about the pink salt though.  Is that something that people typically use for smoked fish?  None of the many recipes I checked out called for it.

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    Hi Dave... what would be considered "properly cured"?

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    Thanks!  That's pretty much what I was thinking too.  I sure hate to give up such a nice big hunk of smoked salmon though. It all turned out so perfect.  Oh well, at least I have plenty more.

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    I brined about 10 lbs of salmon overnight (brown sugar and salt)  two nights ago, and smoked it all yesterday, about 3 1/2 hours total.  I had cut it into about 8 pieces all together.  When I opened up the smoker this morning to clean it out some, I noticed that I had accidentally left one of...

    How much turkey have you smoked in a Masterbuilt Extra Wide?

    If I cut two 16 pound turkeys in half and put the halves on 4 separate shelves, that is like smoking four 8 pound turkey's right?

    How much turkey have you smoked in a Masterbuilt Extra Wide?

    I've been using my Masterbuilt Extra Wide for about 6 months now and just love it.  I did salvage the larger water pan from my old Masterbuilt 7in1 smoker and that helps control the temp a little better. My question is this.  I want to smoke two turkeys for Thanksgiving.  I was wondering what...

    mopping brisket on water smoker

    I'm trying to figure out from what all I have read, whether it is best or not, to mop the brisket every hour in a water smoker. I know you need to in a regular smoker to keep it from drying out, but is this necessary at all in a water smoker? Thanks!!
