    Newly purchased Masterbuilt 1050, first smoke - running in to issues

    This is the first mistake people do when comparing an instant read thermometer that is not pid controlled against an on board temp readout. The controller works just like your home oven. You set it at 350, but in reality the temps vary widely both up and down. Do this: put your Signals probe in...

    Hobart 1712 Slicer

    Polished and adjusted, first two are at the previous owner's location. Worst condition I'd ever seen. Wasp nest on the underside of meat carriage and dirt dauber nest inside the case

    Deli Meat slicer Question

    This has been an ongoing topic since I became a member years ago. In 2015 I found a Hobart 1612 slicer, built in the early 70's for 150$ on Houston Craigslist. Best money I ever spent. Worked flawlessly until it burned up in my house fire. Aluminum and 3000 degree fire just don't get along...

    Hobart 1712 Slicer

    Thanks! It's cleaned up enough to use, but I have plans later on to polish the case. Just got through slicing up 50 lbs of bellies today and it performed flawlessly. I have a few new parts on order to replace the thickness dial

    Hobart 1712 Slicer

    I lost my Hobart 1612 slicer in our house fire back in April. Main use for it was our small bacon business which I usually cured, smoked and sliced around 250 lbs of bellies each month. As we’re starting from scratch acquiring the tools we need to start this back up, I was in need of a new to me...

    There are about half dozen groups for Smokefire cookers on Facebook some very active, some pretty dormant. IF you are on Facebook.

    Weber SmokeFire

    I have had an EX6 Smokefire since November, the Gen 2 version. I've had very little problems, and NO grease fires whatsoever. I think some people are calling flareups during high temp grilling a grease fire. After every 5 cooks or so, I scrape the insides down into the ash catcher then dispose...

    Uncured pork belly smoking question

    This has been around forever, but I use it every month. Use it to adjust salt and sugar the way you prefer your bacon. Don't change the value for the cure however. www.diggingdogfarm.com/page2.html
