    Thermodynamics of evaporative cooling, and humidity.

    but im saying: can you make the pit 100% humidity, to prevent the brisket the ability of evaporative cooling? or, by not adding moisture to the pan, can you keep the moisture level so low in the pit, you dont add any significant moisture for the brisket to use for evaporative cooling?

    Thermodynamics of evaporative cooling, and humidity.

    The thing with propane molecules though, C3H8, is those 8 hydrogen atoms turn into 8 H20 molecules (as combustion is just rapid oxygenation) as it burns. so the propane is itself, its own water pan of sorts. I have NO IDEA how much moisture that adds to the equation though. But also it being a...

    Thermodynamics of evaporative cooling, and humidity.

    yes, thank you. I really dug into the science mabye 8 yrs ago, and you just reminded me, I believe the theory at the time, and the one I believed, did mantain that that conversion between collogen to gelatin was a huge heat sink. so mabye that is just a fact of the stall, a large part of the...

    Thermodynamics of evaporative cooling, and humidity.

    Indiana, and masterbuilt. real basic of the basics analog model. the heating element/controls it came with was giving me trouble, i replaces it, generic amazon parts, itl hea tup now, importantly it will keep it hovering right around where i set it, very low fluctuation, mabye 3 degree max...

    Thermodynamics of evaporative cooling, and humidity.

    Howdy. The topic is brisket, electric smoker. humid pit, or dry pit? and does that change if using a crutch? how does a butcher paper crutch change the dynamic vs a foil one? I was formerly convinced into smoking without a water pan. The idea being: the stall is caused by evaporative...

    Larb/Laab Gai

    Laab is one of my favorites. I was a 2x "head chef" (if asian kitchens had one) once for thai food. our recipe was: 1.sautee ground meat (mabye 8oz) in oil in wok, when done add a splash of totole brand chicken soup base broth (has the disodium gyanulate, disodium inosinate, and msg) add...
