BrettFavre004 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Just finally got a propane fueled smoker, made some burgers and corn on the cob on it, turned out fantastic for my first go Got some sirloin stakes and chicken quarters I'm going to put on today. Was thinking of targetting about 2-3 hours for the leg quarters around 250, maybe 45-60 mins for the steaks, thinking of touching them up on the cast iron skillet, maybe 60 seconds each side, really hot. Any have a good list of must do's/best practices to keep in mind? Anything I should make sure I don't do? Anything fun to try smoking, not common items?

How do they work? Is the heat produced by the burning wood or the propane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen, little quicker getting started and getting an electric smoker seemed like cheating to me. =P https://www.homedepot.com/p/Masterbuilt-Pro-Charcoal-and-Propane-Dual-Fuel-Smoker-20050412/202904343 this is one I got.

The pellet smoker isn't cheating, it's efficient. I can cook other things, sleep, or play video games while I have something on. The WiFi ones are cheating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Might have to get myself one of these. I've been debating adding another pit to my collection, and was looking into pellet ones, and this looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The concept of an indoor smoker has me thinking heavily about trying to invent one... And not an adaptation of an outdoor one that gets used indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do it at home, you would probably need a vertical smoker with a really, really, good way to vent it. Then some sort of way to clear it of smoke before you open the door. They don't get so hot that it would be a problem, as long as it's not on carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking like an oven type deal where you could do a smoke clearing ventilation that vents all the smoke through a chimney in the roof before you open it.

We're on the same page. This is what I meant by a vertical smoker It's pretty much an oven that doesn't go past 300. They make them smaller and way bigger too.

But I'm thinking about a suction-ventilation fan on the inside of it and it would be the size of a standard oven with the potential for 6 racks and would be around 6-7' tall.
