    Cabelas (Weston?) Stainless Vertical Smoker Help Needed

    Ok, interesting.  So I know it's not the valve on the tank since I tried two tanks.  I guess I may try and disassemble the control valve and and orifice and see if that helps.  I know this smoker will be great once I figure it out!

    Cabelas (Weston?) Stainless Vertical Smoker Help Needed

    Thanks  Dave.  Tanks weren't new, but just recently filled.  Tell me more about the idiot valve.....I made sure everything was tight as can be.  Hand tightened everything, no tools.  You're saying to open the tank slowly THEN turn the smoker to high and ignite it?  That's what I did and still...

    Cabelas (Weston?) Stainless Vertical Smoker Help Needed

    OEM burner is 9000 btu I believe...the bayou classics seem to be triple that or more...wonder if that's overkill?  Any other thoughts?  Maybe just change the regulator and hose first to something adjustable?

    Tried two full tanks, same thing.  Tried opening them extremely slow, same thing. Looking at new burners and regulators now.  Would you go with a high pressure or low pressure propane setup?

    It's blue and uniform, but VERY small.  Barely peaks up over the burner on high.

    Would you buy an OEM replacement or try and retrofit something like a bayou classic in there?

    Cabelas (Weston?) Stainless Vertical Smoker Help Needed

    Picked up this Cabelas (Weston rebrand?) Stainless Vertical Propane smoker for a song and a dance....ok maybe no singing or dancing, but paid $60 for it with a full tank of propane and cases upon cases of various wood.  I think Cabelas sold them for $400-$500. For the life of me, I cannot...

    Time to revive this.  I'm looking for some help on converting this over from propane to natural gas.  Here's my plan: 1.  Remove the BG10 burner and regulator 2.  Replace BG10 with Low pressure cast iron burner from Agri Supply...

    Brinkmann Smoke N' Pit - freebie

    First smoke went OK....definitely need to seal the lid better, I was losing too much heat through the cracks.  The propane burner worked out awesome.  The pulled pork was delicious, but definitely room for improvement on the rubs.  The kielbasa was amazing.  The venison was out of this world. ...

    Two ~4.5lb pieces of pork(bone in) now marinating ready to hit the smoker tomorrow morning.  It will be my first time smoking, so hopefully they turn out decent enough to eat. I trimmed a bit of the fat but left the cap in tact.  Face down, cap up at 225 degrees for 5.5-6 hours or until 195 in...
