So smoking for the 4th and after pulling the meat I left my amaze n smoker pellet smoker going and didn't close the door. It was maybe still 2/3rds full and apparently flared up and burned up the seal and melted the plastic on the top of the door. What to do now?
It is certainly possible to put in say a 20-30 amp 110 line for the use of something like this, or use 220 and split the phases into two 110 for each heater. But either would require a dedicated line be installed by an electrician. You could run them from different outlets that you know are on...
Cheese is best stored at higher than refrigerator temperatures anyway, about 50-55 degrees if you want a real cheese cave to age cheese. So a brief stint at 66 should not hurt it too much. Real cheese purists will refuse to cool cheese down to refrigerator temperatures as it ideally shouldn't...
Could this work as a form of aerosolized marinade if you cold smoked it at actual refrigerator temperatures though? Say using a polyscience smoking gun running onto a small enclosed space in a refrigerator. That does not strike me as having major inherent issues with food safety.
This is very much like what I want to build when I have the storage space(read buy a house). Though I am wary of plywood and out gassing and plan on a simple internal low RPM fan to avoid hot spots more than for dehydrating.
And this is why many or most people who build their own use an aquarium air pump to promote circulation. Personally I find it odd that I don't seem to see baskets being used to hold the food away from the edges as well.
Of course on a forum that includes curing meat at home this does not seem...
What is the average home unit? The units sold for this are the sous vide supreme($400), which is problematic as it does not circulate, and the $800 polyscience immersion circulator. Home built units might be possibly problematic but if people are building that, then hopefully they are doing...
