The Anerique is a great unit but hard to clean at ground level. Definitely need stand with casters. Hate to spend $500 on a stand. Any sturdy options?

Hi all. Just curious - I would be greatly interested in seeing a chart of cabinet tempature taken every 10 minutes or so. Has anyone done this? How steady is your target tempature held? How much variation? What was the outside ambient temperature when this was done?

I was turned onto AlbuKirky seasonings by one of the members here (Thanks Jay). This stuff is seriously good and like the TV add says "I use that s**t on everything" now. I got a recipe from them the other day for Green Chili Stew. This recipe was close to a quick and easy Chili Verde recipe that I have used for years. I combined these and came up with some good eats. The recipe calls for Albukirky Green Chili rubbed pork cushion. I found pork cushion on sale so was set to go. I seasoned the...

I have a Smokette Elite and was wondering... is it recommended to empty out the ashes in the fire box after each smoke? Would not doing so negatively impact the flavor eventually? I'm asking because I notice I can get a small smoke ring when leaving the ash in.

It may be my imagination, but the wood seems to burn through in its entirety much quicker when the briquettes are in. Anyone else experience this?

I have an SM260. First issue: When I power on the control panel, it says “Flip Flop Error”. You press the start button and it clears. Not sure what this means. Second issue: My control panel shows 0 degrees, even though I can verify with a remote probe the smoker is heating up. If you let it go, it eventually shuts down on Overtemp alarm. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all, my SM066 purchased in 2010 is tripping the GFI outlet as soon as I plug it in. We've just moved into a newer house a couple months ago and to be honest the smoker may not have been used in more than a couple years. Things happened and we moved a couple of times. Anyway I checked the FAQ and it says for this issue to plug it into a non-GFI outlet for an hour, then try the GFI outlet again. Is that really safe to do?

Has anyone cooked on both of these smokers to compare your finished product ? I have heard the 500 cooks better than the 750. I would like to have the room on the 750 but could get by with a 500. It will be installed on a trailer.

Hello anybodiy in Seattle interested in splitting a Balk order? Thanks Greg
