The MB800 gravity is coming up to temp. with chunks of post oak and peach. Here are a few more pics of the...
Well, round 2 is resting in the fridge to form the pecille. Yes, it's a messy fridge, but it's mine.
I just picked up some, peach, post oak and pecan chunks from the Woodshed in Orange. Im thinking peach and post oak for the bacon.
Any thoughts on my choice 🤔.
Well thanks again. This pretty much clears it up.
I will be sharing my 2nd batch photos. I plan on getting started this coming Saturday or Sunday.

Just my luck, I misplaced the cure recipe I used on my first try. Please help a new guy out.
Also, can...
My first instinct it that the temp probe is not registering.
Hens the out of control over temp.
Hmm, maybe I should try a different probe?
I appreciate everything and everyone that contributes to help us new guys.
Respectfully,

Thanks for the quick reply. The probe is pretty clean. I did do a ice and boiling water test when I got the Drive unit. Although I have not done a real-time test. Good advice, thank you again.
