metro 1 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I have the luhr Jensen up right and its been a good unit for me. Its a bit small but you can adapt it to work well. I smoke 21 mm sausage and used the wife's cooling racks to triple the capacity of it. I just hung the other racks under the original racks. I all most always smoke "what ever" for the desired flavor of smoke and then finish them off in a "American harvest dehydrator"it's more controlled and uniform heat.This time of year the garage sales are pretty much over but I see them all the time for around 25.00 or so.I just checked on hsolist and there are a few there but with shipping it a wash. Good luck and get your smoke from a meat supply house allot cheaper than $6.00 a 5lbs.bag.more like $10.00 for 40lbs .Metro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I have the Big Chief and have had great sucess with it. I like the electric because I do 2-3 pans of chips in 2 hrs and let it go 6 hrs more I dont use the hot box method I prefer a cooler smoke it seems to not dry out the meat so easy, and I also can let it go all night when I go to bed.Try This if you have smoker3-5 lb beef Roast (Cheap one for Jerky) Have the butcher "thin slice" it do not tell him to cut for Jerky even though its acheap roast stack it back upand tie with a string sprinkle Cavneders salt and pepper put it in the smoker 2nd rack from bottom and cook for 12-18 hrs (Lowest heat for gas and charcoal) depending on outside temp it is a yummy way to do a cheap roast.serve with fresh garlic bread and ajaus Oh this is making me hungry------------------This is 100% what its all about...[This message has been edited by frozenminnow (edited 11-19-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
