Old Tank, New Smoker
I’m in the process of a big electric build, and I’m all about 1/2” foot plates to support k-type probes (work with PIDs or inkbird etc stuff)) They cost a couple bucks and and will seal with a lttle red RTV to way more temp than we cook at... For meat probes, just put em in the meat and close...- Jonok

Sausage grinder/stuffer
Interested in making a couple hundred hot links every month or two. Is there a combined machine that will do the deed for a reasonable price, or do I need a dedicated grinder and a seperate stuffer? Make a lot of breakfast sausage with my cuisinart, so don’t need too much advice about meat... -
Higher Temp or Foil Better for Pork Butts?
I cook it at a real 250 (like I know the smoker got there with a pid and a real thermometer)) for somewhere between 8 and 16 hours and it always comes out perfect. Pork butt is the perfect barbecue vehicle and is incredibly forgiving. I have seen no advantage for lower temps, injection... -
Put a packer on last night, the flat’s internal is 207 but it’s not close to probe tender yet
Chalk it up to experiience and fight again. Briskets are an art form, and you’re learning. -

I’m not sure what Terry Black wraps his briskets up in, but I’m pretty sure it’s not pink.... -
Put a packer on last night, the flat’s internal is 207 but it’s not close to probe tender yet
Entirely your call, but I’d probably wrap what’s left In foil with Bullion and let it rest for a few hrs. If your point is “more done “ than your flat, and your using the juicy/fatty point stuff for burnt end because it’s already drying out while waiting For much leaner meat to cook more to... -
Can Larch be used for smoking?
Wasn’t aware that that was the case. Lived in Missouri for a long time and saw the royal oak people recycle a lot of them for charcoal, but I will defer to those who are more in the know.- Jonok

Can Larch be used for smoking?
Black Forest Ham is the obvious exception to the no-conifer rule. I’m pretty sure that’s all the smoke it gets.- Jonok

Can Larch be used for smoking?
Pallets are usually made of hardwood and are ubiquitous. If you can score Missouri white oak in australasia for scrap prices, why would you do anything else- Jonok

New Guy with an Old question LOL
Turbinado sugar is a game changer. It melts and carmelizes, but if you do it right, does not burn. I use a double dose in my brisket rub (relative to the amount of sugar in my regular pork butt rub) and when I wrap at around 140, I get a nice sweet-hot crusty bark that isn’t burnt, but stands...- Jonok

New Electric Build
So it’s working with a PID controlled top and bottom element (3500W each, 250v with a contactor to turn them on and off, elements are also individually switched, so if I don’t want broiling action from the top I can shut it down. Hits 250 from ambient with both elements in about 5 min...- Jonok

Little or no smoke flavor.
I really like peach when I can find it, but cherry and Apple are most readily available to me and work very well too.- Jonok

Little or no smoke flavor.
Use mostly fruit wood here in Michigan because it’s free from the orchards, but in my opinion, the greener the better. You need something dry for heat, but wet wood on top of a well-managed fire. makes nice smoke.- Jonok

New Electric Build
Still working on the top vent hole. Needs to get through 2 layers of galvanized 16 ga and one layer of stainless that’s thicker. Burned up the bimetal 2.5” hole saw on the first layer of soft stuff, so I’m looking at carbide or plasma to finish the job...- Jonok

New Electric Build
I’m fairly stoked, because I can make all the thin blue smoke I want and trickle it through the cook chamber as I need it. Nothing bitter, and presumably I can make all the nitric oxide I want so I’ll get a pretty smoke ring too.....- Jonok

My Mes smoke generator makes perfect lump fruitwood charcoal as a byproduct. I have been pretty well fixed for grilling needs recently.- Jonok
