I know there are a few others on the site who own them as well. If you have any specific questions, let me know. I was able to fix it myself and didn't make a big deal about it. So far the only real complaint I have is that the top got a very small chip in the powder coat during the shipping. I may need to dial it back a bit to avoid a runaway temp, but I usually only have to watch it for 5-10 mins and then it settles back in and I can ignore it again. Once I get it set to temp, it just runs along without any issues. Keep in mind that I live in southern California and don't fight any outside temps. I run a snake type burn with the charcoal and have made 10-12 hour cooks at 250 and only used a little less than half the fuel. Mine is wider, and I opted for the cart and some other upgrades. ![]() I bought the Que Deville but had some mods and extras. He can send you specific pics if you have questions about things not shown on his site. Rob's a good guy and very helpful with any questions you might have. I received my Cascade back in early March and have been cooking, learning, and enjoying since. Used torch to preheat walls and was up and running in 30minĬascade looks like well built unit and if it runs half as good as the vault it will be a worth while purchase. Filled whole pan with lump and dumped 1/4 chimney on corner nearest air inlet. Some use snake method and I found that wasting space. I had temp probe on center of 5 racks and there was maybe 10-15 difference top to bottom of CC The cascade continental looks to be similar size of vault. I put two foil pans in it for easy cleanup. Pitmaker was stainless steel pan welded in with drain. Looks like cascade uses similar RF method and has welded in divider. Wont a lot of trophies on that thing before selling Temp control was easy and got significant burn tine using bbq guru. My favorite being pitmaker vault and that thing was 1000lbs of awesomeness. This is my first post on the brethren forum!įirst I have heard of cascade but I have a lot of experience with variety of vertical cabinet. It looks like water can still be used in the grease tray if desired.ĭoes anyone have experience with RF IVS's they are willing to share? or direct experience with Cascade smokers? how well do they cook? even temps? produce clean smoke/taste? produce good smoke ring? ![]() Cascade has a solid welded plate that separates the chambers. Also, some RF Cabinets use a water pan as the barrier between the charcoal chamber and cooking chamber. Cascade has heat/smoke go up both sides and the back, seems like more circulation with that set up. Some appear to only have smoke go up the back wall and then out the bottom exhaust. Cascade seam to have a few different aspects compared to other RF IVS's. I have yet to read a bad review about cascade smokers. They are located in Oregon and shipping from the west coast is way cheaper to get to Alaska. ![]() I live in Alaska and there is no native hardwood for smoking up here and shipping is so costly, thus why I have decided on a insulated cabinet because charcoal is the heat source and we deal with harsh weather up here. ![]() I have pretty much decided on some type of insulated cabinet smoker.
