    Weber Performer with Pit Viper Blower ATC - Solved (for me)

    Every pit master wants to be able to control their pit’s temperature, and who doesn’t want “set it and forget it”? I want to set it up, fire her off, and come back after my nap. So here we are. I wanted to smoke some ribs on my Weber Performer recently and while I do have a Slow-N-Sear I...

    Fixed my salmon smoking procedure

    My salmon smoking setup is a Bradley Original Smoker with smoke piped into it from a toolbox with an A-Maze-N tube(s) filled with apple pellets. The heating elements (it has 2 totaling 1000 watts) are on the back wall. Because of this I rotate the tray positions and spin them every 30 or so...

    Get food recall information emailed to you.

    I noticed that a food recall by Rings Я Us wasn’t one I had seen before so I did a bit of checking. I get recalls emailed to me by the USDA and now it seems that recalls are issued by others too, and in this case it’s stopfoodborneillness.org. You can sign up for free email notifications of...

    A wicked good meal with pics

    Recently, I had the pleasure of cooking a pretty special piece of meat and I haven’t posted any cooks so I thought I would share this one. Last xmas my BIL gave my wife and I a Prime Rib of Pork from Snake River Farms.  I had an idea that this might be a memorable piece of meat so I was saving...

    MES 30 Electrical Mod

    I’ve been wanting to get into smoking sausage and the Bradley that I have has smoked nothing but fish for years (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/265678/opinions-on-fish-and-meat-in-the-same-box) so I was looking for another smoker that would fit into my setup.  It looked like a 30” MES would...

    Opinions on Fish and Meat in the same box

    I could use some opinions here.  I've been smoking for 8-9 years now but have never smoked sausage and I am ready to jump in.  I have an Original Bradley which was my first smoker and I still use it for salmon and mussels because it fills that low temp niche nicely but it hasn't had anything but...

    One Grill Flat Basket Mounting

    I use the One Grill basket on a 5/16" shaft like most spinners and this arrangement leaves something to be desired.  I ended up welding some shaped stainless pieces like this - But if the manufacturer would make the fit a "vee" shape it would take any size square shaft with no problem.  The...

    Hello from Central Maine

    Joined in 2010 and my first post was today.  You might say I'm not real active on the boards, but I am on cookers.  I started with a Bradley Original years ago and have had a number of smokers but currently use a MAK 1-star, that Bradley, and a Performer for smoking. I had a WSM but bending is...
