    Sounds like you got a good deal my friend, and like we were discussing, we are not using them every day, day after day, so we do not need the cadillacs, I already got the one I posted so I am locked in as well, it was the best I could afford and like yours, I think it will do just fine for what...

    Well if you have the 1/3 horse you will not have any issues, you just want to make sure you keep an eye on the motor temp, if it gets to warm then give it a rest, that is really the only issue, I have not broken mine down all the way, and yes I will, broken or not, it is a disease, I will tear...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Rick, LOL on the last part, too true, me as well hehehehe Yeah I am not liking the humidity either, if I was not so set here and have put so much work into this house to make it economical then I would move in a split second, but lots of blood and sweat in this home but it is paying off...

    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    Yes I have the analog version, I choose that because of the rack mod I was going to do to it, and because I do not want the electronics when I would get a wireless probe set up anyway .............. And no, the Smoke Stack was easy, and only cost 11.99 shipped to my door, but I did the stack Mod...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    LOL, we do have mild winters for the most part compared to most, but we have a couple weeks or more, usually a run of a week or more when it gets close to 0 or maybe a degree or two below, but outside of that it is generally mid to high 30s and low 40s, but when it is 99 and 60 or 80+ %...

     I am guessing that the issue would be slicing it fast enough to make it worth your while in a commercial environment ?  I am not a cheese pro, I love quite a few cheeses, and none of them to me would seem to be so hard that it would be a issue, maybe smoke the belt if you are working to fast...

    I wish I had had the budget for a 1/3 horse, I would have bought it, but then if I had all the money I wanted, I might have had to buy a 3/4 or 1 horse model, then I could afford all that bulk cheese like Dirt is talking about, it would just give me a reason to build a cheese cellar too hehehe

    A Bear From Log to Finish (Picture Heavy)

    Sounds like a opportunity, "Pics with Bear's Bear's", at least a dollar a pic, 5 dollars if you print in color on the spot the specific size on matte photo paper ready to be framed ! I like the little "Look Out Bear" that was a cool idea, and I got a real laugh outta those real bears attacking...

    I found it, it is re-branded by Gander which is normal, everyone does that, UniWorld also sells it, it is listed as .20 HP, so basically 1/5th HP, not far behind, my search was over the proper size tray (I wanted) and 1/4 HP minimum, it was a grizzly search, so many out there, and I saw some I...

    A Bear From Log to Finish (Picture Heavy)

    Yeah, no protection from the sun or the rain over time they are both great destroyers, I would have done the same, better to save the work, it is truly beautiful craftsmanship.

    What HP is the motor if I may ask, I looked at Ganders Slicers but they were rating them in watts which means smaller motors, I just wanted to get the highest HP I could with the best build, the motor is the only part that is expensive or generally dies over time with exception of the belt, so...

    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    Rick, See the MES 30 Sportsman Elite does not have a damper, well now with the new Smoke Stack I added it does, but this one has a fixed hole that is not adjustable and only about 5/8, maybe 3/4" ID, it is a sealing tube type collar that goes thru the double wall, hence why I put the stack on...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    It has been near or at 100 for the most part here too and humidity like your standing on the beach LOL, we had a little cool spell ( 2 days ) and back up to 99 again today with really high humidity, I know it is summer but I too would like a break in the heat, it surely would be nice, but then...

    They have a serious selection in there, but you know the price just keeps climbing, I was looking for economical yet a good product and I think I got both this time, it is definitely well built, do not see any reason it will not perform well. What do you do with all that cheese, do you sell it...

    DS,  I think it can but not the hard cheeses ???? I read the reviews and it seems quite a few were using for cheese, and I think the manufacturer eludes to cheeses but not hard cheeses, I do not even know what a hard cheese is, I would figure some sort of cheddar but I do not know...
