They’ll ship you a new heating element if you want to stick with the Chief. Mine died a few years back after years of smoking salmon with it.Good grief that looks amazing!
My old Big Chief finally died. Gonna be looking to buy a new smoker this year for sure.

So many new smokers out now with lots of bells and whistles, but those old school Little/Big Chiefs work well for the simple units they are.
Ya Im with ya. Especially for fish, I just dont think it gets any better than a Chief. Not great for a lot of other meats but for fish they are hard to beat.
Mine died in the most dramatic fashion. Not just a heating element unfortunately. It was dead in every sense of the word. Lol
I just bought a Green Mountain Daniel Boone, which seems like it’s going to be an upgrade from my Pit Boss. My favorite thing to smoke is tri-tip. When they are cooked right they are awesome, and so much cheaper than a brisket!

That’s awesome, yep was thinking of breaking it in with a tri-tip and ribs. Two things I normally don’t screw up!The Green Moutain's are sweet, my first thing I smoked on it was a tri tip!
Do you cook the hamburger and bacon separately, first?My version of Calico Beans:
4 cans assorted beans of choice
1 large onion sauteed
1# hamburger
1# bacon
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1-2 Tbsp white vinegar
Tbsp garlic
glug of molasses
Smoke for 1 hour at 250 degrees
How do you do the tri tip right?I just bought a Green Mountain Daniel Boone, which seems like it’s going to be an upgrade from my Pit Boss. My favorite thing to smoke is tri-tip. When they are cooked right they are awesome, and so much cheaper than a brisket!

Cook and drain bacon and burger before adding to the beans. My smoker is a Cookshack so you only need 1.5 ounces of wood or you will oversmoke.Do you cook the hamburger and bacon separately, first?
