Luhr Jensen Smokers


Recommended Posts

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

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 smoker
3-5 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 up
and 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

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
