    First try bacon

    How long did you cold smoke it?  I have been thinking of making some bacon but not sure how long to smoke it.  Should it only be cold smoke are do you add any heat to the process?

    New iGrill mini

    I like the Mini the use of the app is the interface.  Now that they have the four prob design I think it would work very well.  Also the four prob unit has a temp display unlike the mini.

    I use the lower temp because if give me a better smoke flavor.   One note is the skin at lower temps ends up very rubbery.  I am OK with the rubber skin I just pull it off.  Also befor smoking I also pull the skin up and rub my rub under the skin.  If you are looking to get the great crispy skin...

    ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!! THOSE WHO DEEP FRY

    I have an electric turkey fryer.  I it is much safer on the oil over flowing.  Also it much easier to control the temp of the oil.  I use to have a gas fryer and the big issue I had was keeping the oil temp steady.  Also this can be used inside but by using the gas fryer for years I still use it...
