    New Member- Need Smoker Recommendations

    Thanks, timberjet and David.  Ugly or not, it sure looks like the UDS turns out some great looking food.  I'd love to try making one, but I'm not sure how it would turn out since I'm either on crutches or a wheelchair.  I'm working on getting a prosthetic leg, which I should have sometime...

    Hey, thanks, David.  Sure looks like I'm on the right track.  Those photos look good enough to eat.  I was surprised to see the Chex mix.  I've really got to get smokin'.  I've been eating my Chex mix raw.  I looked at your list of toys.  Impressive!  Um, what's a UDS?  I have a grinder, meat...

    Sounds like a great idea.  How can she refuse that?  And, yes, I do have that kind of sense of humor.  I can taste those baby backs now.  Can't wait to feel that sauce running down my chin.

    Greetings from Anaheim

    Hello All, I hereby nominate myself for membership in the SoCal Smokers group.  I don't really have any qualifications since I'm a newbie and am still investigating smokers.  I have been a sausage maker for a few years and want to start smoking sausages.  I found a source for wood by reading...

    Greetings, All, I've been making fresh sausage for a while and would like to start smoking sausages.  This is my main reason for wanting to get a smoker, but, of course, I'd also like to smoke ribs, bacon, etc.  I'm looking for a smoker that ill allow me to hang the sausages (Italian, Summer...

    Hey, Rick.  Thanks again.  This information is really helpful.  I plan to go for the MES 40 Gen 1.  BTW, I was only kidding about the divorce. She's not really that disagreeable.

    Hey Rick, Thanks for the information on the model numbers and Gen 1 information.  I'm really interested in the 40 inch.  From what I've been reading I kind of thought the 20070311 and 0411 were the Gen 1 models, so I've been watching them on Amazon.  They've had the 0311 for $358 since I added...

    Wow!  Thanks, Parrot and Willie.  That sure makes it easier than trying to locate a bunch of model numbers.  Thanks, too, for the dowel suggestion.  I'll look for my next-born following your suggestions.

    Greetings, All, Well, I signed up for this forum yesterday, been reading all I can on the reviews, and ordered the AMNPS and pellets.  I guess it's time to narrow down the smokers.  I decided to go electric to start out.  I would love to get the Smokin'-it or Cookshack, but since I'm just...

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    Thanks, David.  I love your list of toys - especially the baby blue one on the QView.  As soon I decide on my smoker and get it, I'll be sure to add it. I'm hoping Santa will help me out with that.  I've been reading review after review trying to decide which would be best.  Can I borrow 6 or 8...

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    Thanks, JD.  Thought that might be the case.  I was kind of hoping cracking the lid would work, but didn't really think it would.  On the bright side, guess I'd better get a smoker sooner.  It's either that or drill holes in my wife's BBQ grill which would not be a pretty sight when she found...

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    HEY SO MS SMOKER (and all),  I forgot to ask - my BBQ grill doesn't have any adjustable vents.  Will that be a problem for smoking?  Thanks again.

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    Thanks, Blade, I can see how this could get real addicting real fast.  Thanks for the clarification on Bearcarver being a who and not a what.  I probably just got off on the wrong foot with him.  Duhh.  LOL.  This is a little off the subject, but what kinds of knives do you make.  It seems I'm...

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    Hey Keith,  Thanks for the welcome and for the suggestions.  Makes a lot of sense to me.  I really wouldn't mind going the gas route due to the fact that you can reach higher temps when doing a bird that you want to brown in the smoker instead of transferring to the oven.  That's not real high...

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    Thanks, Mike.  Glad to be here (or anywhere on this side of the grass for that matter).  I've been looking at the SFB, too.  I like it because it looks impressive and people will think I really know what I'm doing.  Ok, I guess that's not really a good reason to pick a smoker. Thanks for the...

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    Thanks, Gary.  I'm not sure if I'm ready to try stick burning, but, hey, I'm always open for suggestions.  I'm not entirely bent on being a watt burner.  Who knows, I may try being a stick burner or gasser after I learn more about it.  As someone else wrote in a post, when I get into a new...

    Ahoy, all ye smoker fiends (I mean friends)

    Ok, I'm not really a peg-legged pirate or anything, but my name really is Bill.  I live in Southern CA (Anaheim to be more precise.  I've been making jerky and fresh sausage for some time, but really want to try smoking sausage so I can expand into the kinds I love to eat.  Of course, bacon and...
