    Perfect. That makes things easier for me. Got a Wally World a mile away. I really appreciate the help.

    Thanks for the reply. My plan is snack sticks which need to get to 158* to 160* I believe so not that hot. If sharp cheese works, I'll give it a try. I was thinking of 1/4" cubes, is that what you cut them? Again, thanks for the reply and info.

    Suppliers

    Hello all. I am looking for a supplier for the high temp cheddar cheese. I searched the web and find crazy variations in price. Where do you guys get your high temp cheese? I am guessing that many of you have come to a point where you buy from the same place because you get value for the cash...

    Natural casing hot dogs.

    Thanks for the help guys. The Dearborn link appeared to be the thing at first but..................... One package of 24 dogs is $14.49 which is pretty good but add in the shipping of $44.25 and you pay a total of $58.74. 2 packages are $28.98 then with shipping of $54.56 it goes to $83.54 3...

    Natural casing hot dogs.

    Thanks guys. Looking at the prices and shipping I am going to try to just be happy with the memories. I'm pretty disappointed, there is no way I can get them at those prices and then ship to Texas.

    Natural casing hot dogs.

    Thanks, I wonder if the store would ship them to Texas. I think that is going to be my biggest problem, getting a place that will package and ship to me. I will look the Meijer store up and give them a call. Hopefully they are willing to help me out. Thanks for the help, we will see how it...

    Natural casing hot dogs.

    My brother used to send me hot dogs from the Michigan/Indiana border town of Elkhart, Indiana. The hot dogs were possibly Eckrich but unsure as they were sold a out of the meat counter at a store up there. I just got them as dogs vacuum packed by my brother, frozen and mailed to me in Texas. At...

    Billbo's world famous dry rub & BBQ sauce recipe's

    I have read through this thread and will be making the rub soon after buying the needed spices. I am currently making the sauce. The Sauce was created by Billbo and offered to the rest of us and I appreciate that offering. I may be unique in my thinking here but I see that several people have...

    What spices do you try to keep on hand?

    The spice storage was pretty cheap (thanks for the compliment). The shelf I made from a1X4 and some paint. The jars are from the "Dollar Tree" and are a dollar each. I bought a case from Dollartreedirect.com and shipped to my local store free. They did not have enough in the store so I ordered...

    What spices do you try to keep on hand?

    I know that there are a lot of spices out there but I can't buy them all. What do you always try to have available? Here is what I have. The bigger jars are the most often called for and the small ones are rarely used or just really small quantities.

    Bob's MES 30 Analog build

    Your 1500 watt is the one that came with it? I replaced mine with another shape for even heating. Seems to me 1250 should be fine for such a small volume. I will make a temp cord and test it with straight full power and see how it goes. If it gets considerably hotter, I'll make the change...

    Bob's MES 30 Analog build

    The mod is easy. I was looking for the RESULTS others have had by doing the mod. If I had the connectors I would have already done the mod. I have a 1250 watt element and am curious how it will do when supplied with full power compared to the limited power the provided Potentiometer allows. I...

    Bob's MES 30 Analog build

    Tonight I decided to do a test for maximum heat. I turned the smoker on full blast to see how hot it would go. It went to 250 at the one hour mark. At two hours it was still at 250.  I had it to 350 for the seasoning run but that was with a really old thermocouple so now with new one I only get...
