First pie out of my GMG pizza oven
I've been making pizzas on stones in indoor ovens for 30+ years. I just need to get the hang of new equipment, and be more cognizant of my in-kitchen dough processing. -

Inaugural GMG Ledge smoke
Right. The way these work, the overall air temperature in the chamber will always be much lower than the temperature in the firebox, and higher temperatures mean cleaner burns. -
First pie out of my GMG pizza oven
Yeah i would like to see some browning on the cheese itself. I think in this case the temperature was too high, the crust was too thick, and the cheese was too much. But i sure didn't mind eating the results of this experiment. -
First pie out of my GMG pizza oven
It's possible that there is some variation between readings on the GMG controller. PT200 sensors are pretty accurate, but maybe less so if their housing is crusted with soot or whatever. Thermal management and pie load is certainly a complex subject, and I'm a little out of practice. -
My slightly ambitious pizza dough recipe.
I've been making pizza dough since my folks bought a kit including a really hefty ceramic stone and a really pitiful peel in about 1989. I started with the recipe that came with the kit. I talked a lot of smack about making better pizza than I can buy for a good long time and then for no good... -
First pie out of my GMG pizza oven
My GMG pizza oven accessory arrived today so I had to mix up some dough and try it. I'll post my dough recipe in the recipes forum. Not my best job of stretching the dough by hand, and I was rushing because I was so stoked to try it out. Usually, the dough has longer to rise and rest, too... -
Oh hai
I like to make hand-stretched thin-crust pizzas and am looking for a bake time under 90 seconds. The crust is just different when it sears hot enough. Hard to explain. There's a distinctive fragrance too. The pizza oven attachment is out for delivery today. I like the way that it focuses the... -
Corny fuel idea
Didn't say I'd be using it to produce smoke. At 275f my GMG won't be producing sufficient smoke from the firebox anyway. And it's an experiment. We don't know what it would do. When used in a pellet furnace it's said to produce a pleasant sweet smell and has a hazard of depositing a sugary...- ej0rge

Inaugural GMG Ledge smoke
new-to-me GMG DB smokes like that on startup for me, too. The app seems to have a smoking setting? I haven't tried to do a proper smoke in mine yet but i am under the impression that the smoke tube will be required. For reverse sear you could probably just take them out of the GMG and heat... -
Corny fuel idea
Years ago, a friend of mine was talking about trying to build a pellet style heating system for a ceramic firing kiln, but fueled with feed corn. Apparently, there are pellet heating systems that can burn feed corn. Allegedly, the btu-per-dollar is competitive with other heat sources in some...- ej0rge

How long does it take to sprout after planting?
You're supposed to plant garlic in like October to harvest it in maybe June or July. According to my mom who is nearly an octogenarian master gardener but last summer was bitterly disappointed that none of her garlic came up, and ultimately found her bags of seed garlic rotting in the shed.- ej0rge

Pros and Cons of lard
should be mentioned that Camp Chef sells two cast iron seasoning products - Cast Iron Conditioner in a tube (which you should warm up by putting the whole tube in hot water for a while maybe, and then knead a bit to mix), and "premium spray-on cast iron conditioner" which i have not used. But...- ej0rge

Oh hai
Yeah i joined in 2011 when i was fooling around with a pid-controlled clay pot smoker. I am back i guess. Yesterday i bought a 2019 GMG Daniel Boone Prime Plus for three benjamins in very good condition. Everything works, nothing is particularly dirty or worn. I mean the window is blacked out... -
Char Siu Sauce
There are a lot of kinds of char siu out there but i like it to have some funk. At least if i am going to the trouble of making it myself. I kinda like Daddy Lau's recipe, though i am not as big of a fan of oyster sauce as he is. I cut that in half. Shaoxing wine is essential. You can get...- ej0rge

Hard Cider
Yeah, just that the question was how to make it sweet. I'm pretty sure the commercial brands are filtering. Either after a cold crash when fermentation is at the right point or after it goes dry and before sweetening. Homebrewers can filter too, but the initial investment isn't trivial...- ej0rge

Hard Cider
Most if not all ale and wine yeasts will result in a dry cider that has to be filtered or pasteurized or stabilized with sorbate and k-meta before back-sweetening. If sweet was what you wanted. That, or cold crash and then kill off or remove the yeast using any of the same methods before it...- ej0rge

newbie needs help with heating new smoker electric
Be sure you are careful. Use a 3 prong plug. If the casing is metallic, ground it. Always switch hot with the SSR, never neutral. . :Sent by pneumatic tubes- ej0rge

newbie needs help with heating new smoker electric
I use a DIY assembled PID+SSR setup that I built. With the assistance of an industrial control engineer. Has built in 15a breaker, and I have a GFI to add to it as well. It auto-tunes very well. Right now it's inside the casing of an old PC power supply but I should mount it in something better...- ej0rge

newbie needs help with heating new smoker electric
That's why I suggested the more plug-and-play units from ranco and Johnson. Johnson has at least one where you basically mount the thermocouple, plug the control unit into the wall, and plug the smoker into the control unit. . :Sent by pneumatic tubes now Free- ej0rge
