    MBGS Slow getting to Temp in Cold Weather

    I had the same error code a couple times when I first got my 560. I did a hard reset of the system and it has worked perfectly ever since.

    Second attempt at bacon (hot smoked)

Unfortunately, that was a single 3.5 pound slab so it didn't last long.  So I searched my local area to find a source for a larger volume of pork belly.  Decided to buy from the butcher at a local grocery store and was told the minimum order...
