Ice smoker?
You may want to find thermal gel packs instead of ice. They can store more cold than ice. They are reusable. Just freeze them. That's why thermal gel is used in ice cream makers. dcarch- dcarch

Not sure I can do this one. I never eat breakfast. Is coffee considered breakfast? Smoked coffee doesn't sound right. :-) dcarch- dcarch

Starting newer fridge smoker
1. Aluminum is good, stainless steel very good (you can solder S. S. Good for cleaning also). 2. A variable speed blower to extract smoke and adjustable air intake will give you very good control of quality and quantity of smoke. 3. I have found bottom extraction of smoke is better. When you...- dcarch

Starting newer fridge smoker
Forgot to mention a couple of things: 1. If you are going to use a PID temperature controller to make this into a cold/hot smoker, you will need to bypass the refrigerator's thermostat, and let the PID controller to take over temperature control. 2. You must do the cutting outdoors, in case...- dcarch

Starting newer fridge smoker
What are your thoughts on the 3.2 vs. the 4.6? I know that using a smaller one the location of the coils might change a bit. I did read what you had said before about letting it run for a while to get a decent idea of what areas to avoid when cutting. 4.6 cu ft is not very big. Big enough to be...- dcarch

Starting newer fridge smoker
Hi, Sgebbie, The unique feature of my smoker is that it is an operating refrigerator also, which with a heater and a PID controller, I can hot smoke, cold smoke in any weather, and because it is indoors, i can smoke when it is 36" of snow outside. A refrigerator is very well insulated, my...- dcarch

Dry Ice For Cold Smoke
Dry ice is what is in some fire extinguishers. Dry ice may be cold, but it can't take away a lot of heat. It can only absorb 250 BTU per pound going from solid to vapor. dcarch- dcarch

DIY Cold smoker
Meat is expensive, a smoke generator is not. Perhaps you should be getting a smoke generator which will give you much better control of the quality of smoke. dcarch- dcarch

Need recommendations for thawing ribeyes quickly!
Everything that happens in the kitchen is about chemistry and physics. The more you look into the basics, the better control you will have in achieving the end results. Those of you who has done work in acoustic, radio wave transmission, wave behavior, power transmission, etc, will come across...- dcarch

Need recommendations for thawing ribeyes quickly!
The sous vide method is probably ideal when it comes to dealing with completely frozen large piece of meat. I often sous vide cooked the entire 14 lbs frozen turkey directly, no thawing. Did a 6 lb prime rib from completely frozen sous vide, then a quick blast of smoke, then seared on a 500F...- dcarch

I need a little DC voltage help......
A DC motor can run on many voltages, up or down. A Drill motor is way over powered for what you need. Over heating a motor is voltage as well as actually load dependent. If you don't overload, it can be on higher voltage without overheating. The higher the voltage, the higher RPM. A DC...- dcarch
