    Motor size for grinder

    I have used the search and found several threads but I have a question. I am motorizing an Enterprize or Chop-rite grinder. For now it will be a #22. I currently have a #8 LEM 1/3 hp and in the past I had a Cabela's #8 that was 1/2 hp but was stolen. LEM has increased the hp on the #8 to...

    Sorry. Just realized the question problem. 275 is max. So yes. Oven.

    Go 325 or whatever. You may not be past the stall depending on accuracy of probes. But your already crutched. And your hungry. pork shoulder is forgiving. Finish it and move on

    Bummer. I would say turn it up at this point. Foiled you should be fine. At least you can eat. I have never foiled but I also start a full shoulder the night before. 10-midnight but that is at 225. Turn it up and eat. Don't overthink it. There's always next time

    -17 and snack sticks in the MES

    An update that when I pulled rest of sticks I set the maze on top and left smoker on. Perfect TBS out of AMPNS and empty smoker was still putting out white smoke/steam. So when it is this cold it is hard to know what the AMPNS is actually doing. But it was doing what it was supposed to be...

    Or maybe its the light messing with me and its perfect again. Recipe is actually a bit of a cheat. PS seasonings mix with added mustard seed, cayenne, crushed red pepper, a bit of white ground pepper. 1.1 jalapeño per pound. And high temp cheese.

    I struggled keeping it lit the first batch of sticks. Called Todd on Monday and first thing I got was a lecture I didnt call him on Sunday. And I so wish I would have. It works. It just flat out works. Looking out the window and can't believe how it's going. One end lit and actually a...

    Just a shout out as I had no idea it was quite so cold and people have asked before about low temps. Thank god for Todd's AMNPS. Its pumping away. Already have a couple racks on counter. I could have got it all in one but I chose not to for testing reasons. Anyway. Happy new year...

    Sticks Qview

    I am in Wisconsin straight east of the Cities so you have an idea of the weather here. I had issues with keeping the AMPNS lit on my first run with it so I opened smoker up in those temps too much. Plus I had excessive time drying before turning up heat for a few reasons. So time was off...
