Did my first sausage links in my 5D after Christmas and had some issues I’m trying to understand.  I think I might have figured out some factors, but need your help knowing if they are right or not.  Will include some photos for visual reference. Put sausages on 4 racks, spaced out racks to...

Got my new 5D Wi-Fi up and running, got it the day before Thanksgiving. Attached the Bella CSG. Did a trial smoke a week or so ago, summer sausage and snack sticks. Tried to light the Bella, using hickory pellets. Had the air pump on lowest setting. Flames came out of the side hole where you...

Wanted to say I’m glad to be part of this forum.  I am not yet a Smokin’-It family member…but will be ordering my SI #5D Wi-Fi tomorrow along with a Bella CSG! After more than 6 months of research, finding, deciding and debating which model, I said go big or go home. We’ll see if there is a way...
