cabinet smoker

Ordered a Que-Deville this summer and just heard back from Rob that it will be shipped out this next week - I am beyond excited to receive it finally! I am upgrading from my homemade UDS trio. I know there will be a learning curve, but anyone have tips on how to run this the most effective...

Wanting to seal the door on the lower end of a cabinet smoker where I access the charcoal basket. This area will not see high heat so I'm more interested in preventing air entering around the perimeter of the cabinet door so only enters the air inlet I use to control temperatures. Since it...

What, in your opinion, is the easiest smoker to use that also provides the best smoke flavor? When I speak of easiest I mean the easiest prep before the smoke, the easiest to manage during the smoke, and the easiest to clean up after the smoke. When I speak of the smokiest, I mean the closest...

In your estimation, what pitmakers are in the "A" class of IVC manufacturers, "B" class, "C" class, etc? (B does not necessarily mean a bad product, just not "best" like A-class.....think like grade school :) A is best, B is good, C is average, etc.) Why? Any to avoid? Why?

I saw an old thread on this, but can't reply to it, so I figured I'd start another one. I just bought a Large Reverse Flow T&K Smoker from the St. Louis BBQ Store solely because of that thread and the fact that it was 10% off helped too. :mrgreen: So far, I've burned it in and done 1 cook on...

Hi All - Posted a while back on this craigslist Assassin 28. I am the new owner (4th total) and got a great deal. Now comes the part I don't have a lot of experience with. CLEANING My biggest concern is this area (can I hit this with a wire brush or will it cause too much damage, it's soft to...

Good day fellow smokers... I have plans to build a vertical Vault/ Cabinet style smoker, with a Insulated firebox... What will be a good inside wall thickness for the firebox? Thanks in advance.

Just got my new smoker from Paul and Tyler of Shirley Fabrication! These guys know their stuff...I saw a cabinet model in their custom trailer models on their site shirleyfabrication.com and spoke to Paul about making something similar. I told him what I was thinking about and he took it and...

Just bought a cheap Brinkmann Cabinet smoker for last fathers day. It is an okay smoker but had many problems. 1. Poor air control 2. Small fire basket 3. Temp gauge was completely off. I ran through a bunch of modifications and am pretty happy with the way it turned out. 1. New firebasket...

Very little else to do on this one, she will be at powder coat next week. Here you can hear what they sound like when you close one....you can't get that thud without it being built solid. (link below) You can also see a new change from the old style rope gasket to this new pin gasket. Easier...

Well, after a lot of research, phone calls, anticipation, and of course driving, my new BX-50 is home. Tom and the rest of the staff at Smoken Dudes bent over backwards for me after my 5 hours on the road to pick up the new cabinet. This thing is a lot heavier than other smokers of the...

Hello all, I am looking into an insulated cabinet smoker. I have been looking a BWS, Spicewine, and Vaults. But Meadow Creek, is drivable from me and they came out with the BX50. That is about the size I am looking for, but I was just looking for opinions on the smoke stack out the top...

I have seen a few comments/questions about Superior Smokers on here over the past few months. I wanted to let everyone know that we are working on getting Superior's website back up and running. Hopefully within the next few weeks we will have it together and I am excited to start doing business...
