New Groups to Help Everyone on Smokers
-
Jonathon sounds like a great idea - Cookshack SM025, Big Green Egg and Portable Kitchen original here
coladad Glad to find another PK Grill owner, I have the 360 and Darkfish89 has an original. As far as I know we are the only ones with PK Grills.
-
I like the idea of having groups for different types of smokers, but I’m a Weber fanboy so I want a bullet smoker group to talk Smokey Mountain and I’d say my Weber Summit kettle is more like a BGE, or Komado. coladad While I have a PK100 and a custom built wood with propane assist, I do get a bit tingly when I hear cookshack…
-
We are testing out creating new groups based upon what smoker you own. Right now I have 1 for the Pk-100 and 1 for Masterbuilt. If people want I can split masterbuilt into a few different categories (but I don’t want to go totally nuts here) as I know they make a bunch, but to start this will make things easier. So, now if you have a question on a Masterbuilt or PK100 you can simply Masterbuilt or PK100 and it will notify everyone in that group!
So, to be useful people would have to go and join those groups. Let me know if you guys like this idea and what other groups for smokers or other pieces of equipment you want. Right now I have the badges showing but we can hide that if it starts to get too many badges next to our names.
Jonathon I would think there would be more value if you broke them out by category of smoker. At the end of the day the recipes that would be discussed can be used across the brands, with some idiosyncrasies here and there based on pellet, ceramic, stick burner, sawdust burners, and full-on commercial units…
-
ClaytonD Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of when someone needs technical help or has a specific question on how a unit functions. Like if someone was thinking of buying a pk-100 they could PK100 and everyone would be notified who belonged to that group. We’ll end up playing around with this one for a while and maybe the way to go is to have both a Model and Style group, though I do see the potential for that to get crowded quick!

What about us diy’ers? I built a custom smoker from a commercial all stainless and aluminum refrigerator. Its 30+ cu.ft. At this time it works on 2 1000 watt hot plates which is my issue I am running short on getting it up to temp. Would like any thoughts

You could put a pellet burner in it.

smokin greg Some sort of extra insulation is probably the best thing as 2 1,000 watt plates in a 30 cubic foot smoker seems sufficient?
-
So are we just thinking about creating the smoker groups, or have they actually been created yet?

IndianaJohn I have created a PK and a Masterbuilt group so far. I will work on getting a Homebuilt, Big Green Egg, American BBQ System, Weber, Traeger, Green Mountain, Rec Tec, Kamado Joes for brands.
&
Eventually we will have Verticle, Pellet, Trailer, Bullet, Offset, and whatever else people want.Get more help with your processing questions and learn more about processing meat by subscribing to our waltonsinc.com youtube page at https://wltns.link/waltonstv I am a Gorilla, love yourself

Jonathon I think NDKoze had the best best Idea, with his categories, is it possible to create sub groups within groups for specific brands of cookers?
-
If anyone has a pic of a smoker that fits one of the created categories upload it and I will get it set as the cover photo for that group.
Tex_77 I will look into the possibilities of subgroups

Masterbuilt Thanks for creating the smoker groups. Bought Masterbuilt Pro, and plan to use it for the first time this weekend for making snack sticks. I’m putting together slotted side pieces for the dowels to sit in.

Jonathon I joined the Masterbuilt group a while ago. Made my first comment from here (New Groups to Help Everyone on Smokers). I’m wondering if we should be able to make new comments/posts or replies from directly within the Masterbuilt group while reading the comments (I don’t see any way to do that - but maybe I’m not supposed to), I’m new to “Groups” on this site. Thanks.

Jonathon - Please ignore my previous post about how groups work. I should have looked for Frequently Asked Questions and how to use Meatgistics first. I just read the FAQ, and believe I now understand how everything works (groups are just to identify and notify everyone in a particular group when you make a post you want everyone in that group to see it). Thanks!

IndianaJohn It is an interesting idea though. If there was a way to go to the group and see posts that the group page you are on had been mentioned (@) in a thread. I’m not sure how…oh, it actually does that I think! If you guys see some weird stuff posted on other threads it is just me testing some stuff!
-
Okay, I tested it and I think that is how it will work. IndianaJohn let me know if that is not what you are talking about and if it is something we can do, we will try to get it done! Groups are new to everyone, before a few weeks ago we only have the Employee, admin, regular contributor, and power user groups. I wasn’t 100% sure how they would work but I think it will be nice in the end!
