Anyone having issues logging into the Reqtec app? It's just staying on the logging in and wheel of death..

Alright been ages since I've been on here so what brings me back is finally retired and time to use the smoker nonstop haha.. Question. What's your method for cold smoking ham? I've got a raw ham that I've brined and want to cold smoke it so I can put in the freezer for another day. I have...

I leave it open to cool off faster.

You'll be fine. Just toss it in and go. Don't spend so much time thinking about it. You don't think about your hot spots in your oven, do you? The smoker is the same thing. Going to have highs and lows. The meat is going to cook. Too many people stress over this high and low spot. Again YOULL...

In my experience with huge temps swings it's been the cause of two things. 1. Ambient temps being high. 2. Long cooks. 13+ hours. With long cooks I believe that cause of the ash build up in the pot it just acts basically like a campfire. Ambient temps. Being here in the south, it's hot. And...

Nice! When I get home I'll have to order one and give it a try.. Thanks for reporting back with your experience

Did you put the mix in the smoke tube?

This is a good example of why I keep my lid open when I shut it down.. Glad you all are okay..

Okay that's what I figured. But better to ask than assume..

Sorry for not replying back to you all. Been a busy week. Anywho, ton of great information has been give on this thread. Just the kind I was hoping to get. As for getting the tube started do you just toss it on the great with the meat and it'll smolder on it's own or do you prelight it and...

Cool. So pretty much nailed down the outcome of using it and how. Now, is there a brand you recommend or are they all basically the same?

I really appreciate everyone's input on this. And @Wslayer, you are absolutely correct. Just good to hear what others think of it, their experience and how they use it. It's all great info and thanks for all the links. I'll check them out tonight when I am sitting in front of the noise box and...

I would think it would add more smoke flavor to it. Iam crossing over from stick burn and I miss the heavy smoke flavor...

So far what I am getting is that it really doesn't make a big difference unless your smoking cheese

Looking for the low-down dirty skinny information on smoke tubes. Are they worth it, do they actually add more smoke flavor, what brand do you recommend? So let me hear it.

A small hole for your prob isn't going to hurt the cook. Ash is normal. Your burning wood so its going to happen. The same thing happens when using a stick burner.

There's no wrong or right way of doing it, as you see. The way I like to do it, again this is just me, I smoke it whole and when I get to the stall and before I wrap it, I separate the two sections. Unfortunately if you wrap it you won't be able to hide the sliced end. If you leave it...

5 degrees isn't going to make much of a difference when it comes to smoking meats. It does when cooking other ways..
