I've crossed over to The Dark Side...

Steve · 11-29-2010, 11:35 AM

I'm crossing over to The Darkside (at least a little) with my smokehouse. It is the only smoker that I have that is not strictly a wood burner. But I figure that I can maintain the low temperatures (170*-190*F) easier, and being vertical I can hang the sausage easier as well.

I foresee many hours of happiness and deliciousness in front of you. Bring a cigar along for the ride, and I am jealous.

Didn't waste any time filling that waterpan with concrete did you?

Nice rig Steve.

Smoking cigars and meat go hand in hand!

So Steve, how do you like the propane unit.

ive been looking at something like this http://www.basspro.com/Masterbuilt-E...rodDescription but i am concerned on how long a tank would last and such. I really like smoking butts at 10-11 hours depending on size at a really low temp (like 200) but my concern is fuel consumption.

Thanks
Scott

I haven't really had much of a chance to use it yet. I am hoping to take off a little time during the holidays and give it a wurl though. One of my wife's uncles uses a similar unit to do whole turkeys and doesn't have much of a problem with running out of gas (at least that I know of). I have several 30 lb tanks around here that I use as opposed to a 20lber, so I'm not really worried.

I'll post my results one day soon, I hope!
