    What time change? Signed Arizona. (Hawaii too.)

    My Foodsaver went kaput

    Smokin Okie, take a look at the left "fang" latch of the V2244 and see if it is broken off at the tip. When latched, it activates a microswitch in the base of the unit that enables operation. If it isn't broken, add a few layers of scotch tape to the inside edge of the tip portion to see if it...

    Masterbuilt digital electric smoker burn the electric control unit MB25073519 model.

    I see a real opportunity for some synergy here. Since @gayatripr bought a replacement board, he could let @uncwseaman know where he purchased it from. Uncwseaman could take a picture of his board in place and send it to gayatripr, letting him know where all the wires go. Two people completing...

    Bradley P10 opinions?

    I've been getting 120 packs of pucks for $40. Each puck lasts 20 minutes. That's $1 per hour for smoke. That doesn't seem all that expensive to me, but other people's opinion vary on this topic. It is certainly more expensive than using pellets in an a-maze-n tray. Using the pucks is super...

    Trouble in PID Paradise

    Those button probes are not good in this application. I replaced exactly one of those for exactly this reason. I have a one inch long probe now that is better.

    Trouble in PID Paradise

    As JC suggests, placing a different K thermocouple inside the chamber with your other probes may help isolate the issue.

    Trouble in PID Paradise

    A picture of your probe mounting would be most helpful. If you have it screwed through the wall of your smoker it may be conducting heat outside the chamber, and the junction may indeed be significantly lower than the cooking air temperature. I have fought with this issue in the past.

    Trouble in PID Paradise

    Generic PIDs generally support multiple types of sensing elements. Errors occur if the sensor type does not match the sensor type setting of the PID. For example, the PID might be set to expect a type J thermocouple, when in actuality a type K thermocouple is in use. I've also experienced...

    Beer sales fall to 45 year low

    Beer sales falling is not my fault. Just sayin'.

    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker not heating

    The relay is bad, you can tell by the melted wire. You can try to replace the relay (digikey has them,) find a replacement board, or you can follow @tallbm advice and convert it to run on a PID. What's a PID you ask? It is a far superior control system that keeps the temperature much more...

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    The merger is bad news for consumers. Both have economies of scale enough to keep producer prices in check. They wouldn't be doing it if they didn't expect to take more money from customers. The only reason to do it is to reduce competition. They will say economies of scale, but both are...

    The upgraded Beer-Pole

    You already have redundant emergency lighting, but I see an unused side of the trunk pole for a friend's beer stand.

    masterbuilt model mb20076718 smoker not heating

    While I highly recommend converting to PID control, you could try replacing the Hongfa relay by desoldering and soldering in a new one. You should probably replace this component... While you are at it, because it doesn't look so good. Fortunately, another user posted up a picture of this...

    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    I don't have this model of smoker, so take any information I provie at your own risk. I'm very sure if you connect the black and white wires together that you simply create a short circuit, which is bad. What you want to do, providing you are putting a PID between your smoker and the wall...

    Auber 1520 wifi question....

    Old school hackers (before it became a dirty word) like me understand this binary stuff, but it is not very intuitive for the general audience. You apparently want a 4 step program as such: 1) 130 for 2 hours, no smoke. 2) 140 for 1 hour, with smoke. 3) 150 for 1 hour, with smoke. 4) 170 until...

    masterbuilt model mb20076718 smoker not heating

    I don't understand this. I read this as you left the heating element disconnected, and the smoker worked. I don't see this as possible.

    Anyone have tips for upgrading 36" Blackstone from 38,000 BTU?

    The changed orifice diameter sets the fuel/air ratio for NG rather than propane. Too big = yellow, lower temp flames without much BTU increase.
