    Just placed order, Smokin-It #2

    I just placed my order for a shiny brand spanking new Smokin-It Model 2 Electric Smoker. Also ordered the cart, cord hook, chip insert, and some more wood. Somewhere in my garage is a box with lots of wood, can't find it now:) So getting more won't hurt:) I'm excited, read lots, lots of good...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I also thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the Model #2 to replace the very difficult to keep temp 'Charbroil' I now have. Lots of info on  their site and videos.

    First serious smoke with Charbroil Vertical Electric Smoker, ribs

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes I was looking for lots of smoke billowing out. I'll run another load of meat through it RSN and see what I get. Again Thanks

    First serious smoke with Charbroil Vertical Electric Smoker, ribs

    My post must have got lost in all the posts, hoped for some tips. I'm really unsure as to where to go from here. I'd like a better smoker, still electric. But from my reading here sounds like every smoker has temp and smoke issues. Thought some digital job would get the temp right on and forget...

    First serious smoke with Charbroil Vertical Electric Smoker, ribs

    Photos of todays Smoking. BTW the Ribs turned out WONDERFUL, no joke. Also found a potato salad recipe we REALLY love. In fact I'd have to say the best I ever had. And I love potato salad.   Didn't realize Ribs would shrink so much. Hardly had room for them when I started. Actually I kept one...

    First serious smoke with Charbroil Vertical Electric Smoker, ribs

    One more fact to share. I used an iGrill dual probe thermometer to keep track. I had the probes hanging on the racks. One probe must have been touching meat, it read way to cool. The other wasn't so used it for the inside temp. I thought only near the tip of the probe was taking the reading...

    First serious smoke with Charbroil Vertical Electric Smoker, ribs

    Hi all. Today is my first serious attempt at using my smoker. Last week i did a small pork roast, good flavor but not enough fat, so to me, dry. Chicken thighs, good taste, but soft skin, too low temp.  I corrected the chicken by using my torch on them, worked fine. But today I have Dry rub...

    Pork belly

    I've been able to find Pork Belly at international supermarkets, farmers markets, Asian food markets. I say all of those because to some degree the names are interchangeable around here, Roswell GA. I first asked at Whole Foods, they said, "nobody wants it". And that very moment a woman walks up...
