    Smokin-It 4D WIFI with AMAZE - N tray or tube?

    I have a #3 analog and only use chunks now. I used a tube in the #3 and it worked well smoking, but too hot for cheese. Might be good for warm smoking sausage though. I have tried the Bella with my #1, but it made to much heat for cold smoking. Got temp up to 120 or so which is too high for the...

    Larger capacity electric smoker

    Smokin-It often includes a "Savor-Flavor" stainless container for water/juices. But I have never used mine, meat just doesn't dry out even on a 12-14 hour cook. Have to use the fan. The one I use is 23 cfm airflow and AC so no batteries needed.

    MYPIN PID TA4 Controller for electric smoker

    I used the PID for my electric brew system, just did an auto tune for boil temps. You should be able to do an auto tune for a specific temp while using the smoker. Just be sure it has an average load in it. Tuning while empty won't give you good results.

    Down for the count for a couple months

    If you have a library card, check the library for online audio books. You can download them as Mp3 files for free and play through your phone. I can relax and do nothing when listening to an audio book. Favorite player is called "Listen Audiobook Player" cost is only a $1 in Google play store.

    Larger capacity electric smoker

    I have a Smokin-It #3 and do 7-10# of jerky in it without crowding. I do load a stainless skewer up and lay them across a rack. Drys faster and more evenly than laying the strip on the racks. The Smokin-It does need help with air exchange by using a small fan because it is so airtight. I get...

    Smokin-It #3 cold smoke Setup.

    I have a #3 also. Have used a tube occasionally. Bought a #1 for camping. And a Bella with the drilled door for the #1. The Bella puts out a lot of smoke, even with the pump on low. I found it to give too much smoke for me and also it put out enough heat to raise the temp so I don't use it...

    Electric smokers

    I use apple and cherry for almost everything. For salmon, I use alder only. If I'm doing anything except jerky and need to hold the meat, I turn heat down to 140 and leave door closed. The most I have held is 4 hours.

    Electric smokers

    Second vote for Smokin-It. I have a Cookshack 008 and Smokin-Tex 1400 and 2 Smokin-It. Smokin-It has the same quality as CS and ST. Note the ones I have are only analog, don't need the PID/digital variety. I have the Smokin-It #1. I take it camping and use it for 1 turkey breast or 4 pieces of...

    🔥The Best Parents Gift: INKBIRD New Product 2.76"x2.56"x1.18" Large Screen Dual Probe Digital Wireless Meat Thermometer released! just $13.29!🥳🥳

    I don't see anything that says it is bluetooth or wifi. The wireless part is misleading if that is the case.

    Need a meat slicer $500 range - Recommendations?

    I bought a used commercial slicer and love the power and capacity. One thing to look for when buying used commercial machine is the sharpening attachment. You can't get the attachments for some older machines, but can get the stones. Same goes for making sure the blade is not severely nicked...

    Biltong making - any other enthusiasts out there?

    I want to make some biltong too. Costco here has some Stryve hickory flavored biltong that I have to ration out to myself. Trying to convince myself I don't need another gadget-- i.e. biltong slicer.

    Football has priority on time instead of cooking.

    2.5 hours smoke, let it rest in smoker with heat turned off for 1 hour while I made a quick run to the store. Put the acorn squash in the oven to cook while we were gone. Got home and got everything ready to eat. Squash was really good. Meatloaf has a nice light smoke flavor that went well with...

    Best smoker for jerky?

    My preferred smoker for jerky is my Smokin-It #3. The only change I make is that I use a low flow computer fan to increase the airflow. I have no problem with the analog thermostat, it can keep the temp close to 160 deg for making jerky (or salmon). The fan and plastic fitting to mount it in...

    Football has priority on time instead of cooking.

    Didn't want to spend time cooking today, wanted to watch football instead. So made a 4.5# batch of meatloaf to smoke. Going to smoke at 210 until internal temp is 160 deg with apple and cherry wood. Recipe: 2.5# ground beef, 1# italian pork sausage, 1# ground turkey. Seasoned with 1/2 cup...

    My insulation project

    They sell a foil tape used for sealing HVAC ducts that works really well to seal the cut edges.

    Smokin Tex

    I use one when I am being a snowbird, ST1400. Works as good as my Smokin-It #3 and Cookshack sm008. Does a great job with ribs, butts, etc. Parts are reasonably priced. What model are you looking at? Used or new?

    Adding extra heat element to MES?

    Water heating elements will burn out without water surrounding them. Have you tried adding an insulated blanket like a welding blanket from Harbor Freight? OrHome Depot? Or even a cardboard box? You might be able to use an element from a Big Chief smoker the way you want to.
