    dry cured bacon

    Awesome looking bacon Adam! Now, tell us the secret - how did you get those slices so grocery-store perfect?

    Hey Rod, I used it straight out of the box. I'm still trying to understand the instructions, I have to admit. They're more or less like reading Chinese to me. After spending a bit of time googling and reading, I have figured out how to set the auto-tune. I did start it, but after it sat there...

    Man, I wish I took pix of the pork butts and turkey I did night before last. The Auber controller locked on 235F and kept it rock solid through the 12 hour cook. We had a slight breeze and it was in the low 20's overnight, with the Amazen blasting pecan smoke. It was a sight to behold. I threw a...

    Major MES fail

    Thank you for your thorough reply Dave. I think I'll follow through with the SS spade lugs and then spray them down with maybe some auto battery post protectant. I don't like the idea of putting dielectric grease anywhere near an actual connection. I thought that stuff's for insulating and would...

    Well, I just did the first slab. The motor doesn't seem to have much trouble anyway. The sliding bed leaves a bit to be desired. It's sloppy and "not precise". The food holder or "grip" in slicer vernacular (the part that you use to push the food into the blade) has a gap where the bacon sits so...

    Before I saw this "deal" the 615 was the one I had picked out to buy. They seem to get good reviews on Amazon. I have ~10 lbs of smoked bacon I just stuck in the freezer to firm up and I'll be putting the slicer to the test shortly.

    Major MES fail

    I know this is an old thread Dave, but I just bypassed the electronics on my new MES 40 2.0 so that I can use the Auber controller and I have a question here. If the spade connectors/wiring were melting and charring, would then the melting point of solder be high enough to keep the joint...

    Yes I totally agree, Kurt. I keep my eye on craigslist for "that one special deal" on a used commercial slicer...so far though...nada. I spent a few decades in restaurant kitchens and indeed these little squirts don't even come close. I took this one out of the box and first thing I noticed is...

    Awesome! I got the inaugural smoke coming up tomorrow night for mine. I am praying to the PID gods that I have it set up correctly for the pork butts and turkey breast. I ran it for a short time yesterday and it hit 275 F and sat rock solid for an hour. Speaking of Academy, I had never heard of...

    So I had a little time tonight and decided that I'd prep the 40 for next weekend's Boston butt and pulled turkey marathon. After 33 trips to Home Depot and Lowe's over the past couple of nights I finally got it slapped together about an hour ago. This is how I modded it. I didn't take any...

    Thanks guys. So I've eliminated the controller problems with the Auber PID, and the smoke issues with the AMNPS. Where do I go from here? I'd really like to get this smoker to the level where I can set it for long cooks...you know, briskets, big pig parts, etc.... I'm pretty handy they tell me...
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
