    First smoke ever - Chicken

    I am glad I made my fridge conversion build cuz the results are awesome.  First on the menu was the chicken, I figured out if it doesn't turn out good it's only few $ out of pocket.  I brind it for 24 hours in water, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, red paprika, oregano and salt.  Washed it...

    My first build

    The picture is from before I removed the probes from the fridge.   I was wondering if in my original build the PID probe was positioned correctly. I had PID probe and food probe sticking out of the piece of wood that was sitting on top of the small pot filled with water.  I made sure both probe...

    My first build

    I did as you suggested, however I only had couple of  hot plates from an old stove which I assume are 220V.  Heating up water was very slow and it hanged around 200F. All through out the heating process my PID and the digital food probe were 1-2 degrees from each other.  When temps got up to...
