    No churn ice cream

    I looked back a few pages and didn't see any discussions of this so I thought I'd start a thread. I'm a big fan of no-churn ice cream because a) it is easy, b) it is quick to make, c) the creative flavor possibilities are endless, and d) it is delicious. My basic methodology is this: 1) whip...

    Ooni Pizza Oven

    I have 2 pizelles in my back room that will be Christmas presents for my 2 daughters. They are dual fuel. I like that idea because if you're using them for a party it is great to go the wood/pellet route, but when you are just using them for dinner the gas route is quicker and easier...

    Love Potion #9 by the Seekers. It was a 45, and the B side was High Heel Sneakers.

    OK, I'm back and ready for more help. I'm going empirical and trying to go strictly by the numbers, manually. So I set P, I, D to 1,0,0 and set the C1 to 225 and T1 to 400. Here is a record of what happened and when it happened in total elapsed time. The initial temp in the smoker was 84...

    I've always been partial to The Persecution and Restoration of Dean Moriarty (On The Road).

    Greatest Song Ever Recorded

    I'm not a big country music fan, but in that genre I have to call out these two (I don't know if these are the actual titles): She's Rocking The Beer Gut, and God is Great, Beer is Good, and People Are Crazy

    Greatest Song Ever Recorded

    I particularly like the Live in Gdansk version. The drummer in the blue shirt is the happiest looking member of a band I've ever seen. It's as if he can't believe how fun it is to be playing with David Gilmour.

    Seasoning cast iron?

    I left it overnight, and the one application was sufficient. But I live in AZ and it was a black plastic bad so it got some help from the heat. Also, my pan wasn't that bad. I've watched YouTube videos where folks leave it for 4 hours. There are a lot of YouTube videos on doing this.

    Seasoning cast iron?

    For those needing to rescue a pan but are not in a situation where they can build a fire, I've had good success with spraying the pan all over with Easy-Off Heavy Duty oven cleaner and then putting it in a plastic garbage bag.

    I appreciate your understanding, and you're right, I feel like I'm on info overload. I think I need to get some hands on smoking on this thing so I can get a feel for it in practice. Once I have some practical context I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.

    WS-1510ELPM set-up help

    I did, but I don't think I am far up enough on the learning curve to make that much practical sense out of it. Two days ago I knew absolutely nothing and the Auber manual was incomprehensible to me. So I reverted back to your earlier advice: Now I am just trying to understand the results...

    WS-1510ELPM set-up help

    So if I'm understanding you, the P is really significant for the time it takes the smoker to heat up initially, or when it's ramping from, say, 100 in C1 to 180 in C2. But that once the target temp has been reached it is the I and the D that are responsible for maintaining the target temp +/-...

    WS-1510ELPM set-up help

    OK, so I did my burn-in for 2 hrs. and then used a pellet tube for an hour to put smoke into it. Then the autotune. Knowing that I could redo it if necessary I chose to do it with an empty smoker. I set the program to 225 for 3 hours, and started the autotune. When it was done (less than 2...

    Just out of curiosity, what values did you end up with?

    WS-1510ELPM set-up help

    OK, I 'm not sure if I am following. Are you saying not to do the autotune at all and use someone's values or to do the autotune but without any kind of load or a different load inside of it. If you could point to a thread that describes your method that works it would be great. I went back...

    WS-1510ELPM set-up help

    I think I am starting to understand a little. Ironically, since I started out thinking about a Smokin-it #1 before switching to the Masterbuild analog, the most understandable discussion I found, until I came back here, was on the Auber forum on the Smokin-it website. My plan now is to run an...
