    How low can you set the temp?

     

    "Off" is about as low as you can go.   

     

    For $100 more you can get the digital version which has settings for time and temperature.  They also sell a "cold smoke" adapter for smoking sausage, cheese, ham or  fish.  I'm sure you could make this offset cold smoke adapter yourself as it appears to be a small length of flex duct that creates a gap between the smoker and the box.

  2. Yeah... I know.  Honestly, I quit drinking and the thought of using my offset without drinking beer all day just kills me.  The convenience and utility of electric smokers intrigued me so I bought one when a sale came up.  I bought a Bradley Smoker BS611 off of Ebay for $175.  They typically go for around $250 elsewhere.  It uses wood pucks in an auto feeder.  Each puck smokes for about 20 minutes.   You can get different "flavor" pucks: mesquite, bourbon, apple, pecan, hickory, etc..  For my first attempt I tried something easy - two whole chickens and a rack of pork ribs.   Preheated the smoker on high, put about 8 pucks in the feeder and let it go for around 4-5 hours.  I have to say that it was very good and very easy.  Next up is a brisket.

  3. I bought an ASUS router on a black Friday deal on Amazon.  I received it but never opened it because it wasn't exactly what I wanted.  It was NIB and never opened.  I tried to return it to Amazon and they said to keep it, donate it, or throw it away.  I have no idea what that was all about.
