    Has Anyone Fooled the MES Temp Sensor Before?

    The problem with insulating the temperature sensor is that, ultimately, it will not achieve what you want (a different calibration of the sensor).  All it will do is alter the speed of response of the sensor.  It'll just slow the response down.  And you don't really want that.  Slowing the...

    Calibrating Thermocouple on Klein Multimeter ?

    Also, keep in mind that refrigerators cycle on and off.  A standard refrigeration compressor cannot be cycled too quickly or the valves will be damaged by liquid.  Once the compressor cycles off, you must let it remain off for, perhaps, ten minutes before you can safely cycle it back on. And...

    Got a new custom Maverick Meat Probe in the works.... your prayers will be answered!

    I have a question: Are these probes you're going to make thermocouples, and if so, which type (J, K, etc.), or are they some sort of thermistor or perhaps RTD? I ask because (mostly for fun) I am setting up a PAC (programmable automation controller - what some companies call a PLC) to control...

    Thanksgiving PLANNING ON DEEP FRYING A TURKEY ???? PLEASE READ THIS FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!

    Lots of excellent advice already! Many of you have a swing set or clothesline supports in you back yard. It's a simple thing to rig up a pulley and some aircraft cable with a carabiner to let you lower the turkey into the hot oil from a safe distance. A lot of turkey frying incidents happen...

    DIRTY LITTLE SECRET!!!!

    This is a fantastic thread! Some of these have already been mentioned, but: Place saltines in a ring around the perimeter of a microwave safe plate (I like a corel dinner plate). Cover each cracker with shredded cheese or place a chunk of cheese on each one. Nuke until the cheese is bubbling...

    Food Proofer Conversion is happeneing

    I love those flexible magnetic seals when used in coolers, proofers, and the like. But I question how they would hold up when exposed to cooking temperatures. You may find that you need to replace the door seals with something else to withstand the high temps. If those seals start to break...

    Smoked corn nuts?

    Thank you for trying this and posting the results.  I do think it sounds like it would be good.  Just some smokiness to go with the already great taste of the corn nuts. I have not tried cashews yet, but I was just going to fire up the smoker tonight and do a double batch of pecans.  My wife...

    Pulled Pork with Lotsa Q-View - Thanks to all of the members here!

    Thanks!  I tried more of it today, and it was even better.  I think, when I'm smoking something, and then eat it right away, I don't get a true sense of the flavor because I've been around the smoke the whole time.  But later, with leftovers, I get a better idea of the flavors because I'm...

    Spinning some ribs

    That all looks fantastic.  I love the shot of the rib with a bite taken out of it.  Makes me want a taste really really bad! Spinning them seems like a great technique.  Gotta love how even everything looks.

    19 pound boneless ribeye

    Outstanding-looking steaks!  Ribeyes are my favorite. And HAH to the Moose Mounty!  Gotta love the suppressed AR, too.  I guess you don't want to spook a moose when you're on its back!

    Pulled Pork with Lotsa Q-View - Thanks to all of the members here!

    Howdy, all. I've done a couple of pulled-pork smokes before, but it's been quite a while, so I turned to the advice of all of the experts on here when I ran across some irresistible Pork Shoulders (Boston Butts) at the local Sam's Club and couldn't resist. Reading a lot of threads about...
