    Good deal on a digital smoker in the Pacific NW

    Bi Mart has the Smoke Hollow digital electric smoker for $140 through Saturday. I picked one up to replace my old smoker and have been putting it through the paces this past week.  So far it has performed well. Great price for a digital control electric.

    Up here they are called Hooligan or Candlefish.  Similar to the ones you get in the lower 48 but with a higher oil content. My smoking recipe is very difficult.  Extremely difficult.  So pay close attention. 6 cups water 2 cups Yoshida's Original Sauce That is it. Pretty hard isn't it? ...

    Finally joined the ranks of MES owners

    Got my tax refund today and on the list of must haves was a new smoker. Went to Sam's and picked up the new MES 40.  Never thought I would say this about a smoker, but the remote control is a nice touch.  Got it seasoning as I type and will have some pork in it come morning.

    What is up with the MBS 40? Getting hard to find.

    How often to you have to load a MBS with wood?

    I am comparing the Bradley and Masterbuilt smokers and am torn. My biggest concern is overnight smoking.  The Bradley seems pretty easy to set up and let it go for awhile by itself.  This looks like it would be great for overnight smokes.  My question is how often does one need to load the MBS ...
