Could have it by the weekend 

 

[yaboyrd]

I've never looked so forward to being home all day on a sat!!!!

 

[yaboyrd]

Are you notified once the smoker has been sent out? How do you get a tracking #?

 

[afratki]

I don't believe I received a shipment notice or tracking #. I just remember checking the order status on the Smokin-It website and receiving the smoker two days after it shipped.

 

[yaboyrd]

Thanks afratki!!! I didn't think to check the my acct..

I did receive a shipping notice from customerservice@smokin-it.com in my email, letting me know the shipping date, the tracking number, and the carrier.

Got the smoker a few weeks ago. I absolutely love this thing. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep the wood from flaring up but all in all its been great. I'll be doing my first butt next weekend. I'll report the failure/ success ..

The wood that I am using is pretty dry (cherry wood from a cherry tree that I pruned 2 years ago), so I have been soaking the wood chunks for a couple of hours before use.  This seems to have stopped the flare ups, but then again, I don't open the door once the meat is in to check for fire!  I do still get some belching type bursts of smoke around the door when the temperature reaches around 150-160F, but after a minute of so, it returns to a thin smoke.  So, I don't know if the soaking helps, but I have been too nervous to try again without soaking.

Swing over to Maine Grilling Woods and order yourself some mini-chunks...they cut up em up Smokin-It size for ya at no charge and the shipping is free..........and you don't have to soak em.... 8)
