    First Pure Pork in my new smoker

    Coming along nicely at this point. So I put a little apple juice in the bottom of the pan/foil and bagged them up. About an hour of this and I figured the ribs were ready for their freedom and a final toasting. I think

    First Pure Pork in my new smoker

    And in they go. The camera was making the funky colors today.  It was raining so the flash was going.  After a bit of this I gave them a bit of this. Today it was produced with this generator that I just set above the element. After a couple of hours of lounging in there, they were...

    First Pure Pork in my new smoker

    I've smoked sausages twice, fish once and made pastrami 3 times.  Today I tried pork. Two racks of baby backs rubbed and ready. And two chunk of loin that I rescued from the freezer. I rubbed them last night with a mix of pickling spice (mainly coriander and mustard), cinnamon, nutmeg...

    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    Thanks, I'll try to get some more info about the generator up soon.  I'm gathering parts right now to do something of a rebuild on it to make it a little more robust to the weather, i.e. making one out of stainless.  Today I did baby backs and loins.  I'm going to throw some pictures up over in...

    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    Ha ha.  I'm just hoping to get to working and reliable.  Feel free to stop by for some sausages and ribs.  Someday it might have a few bells and whistles.  Now I'm only hoping it works well tomorrow because I just finished putting rub on two chunks of pork loin and 2 racks of baby backs.  Gonna...

    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    I thought that with the thermostat from a toaster oven controlling the temperature if I set it on high the element would be running flat out all the time.  I put my test light into the circuit though and it shows that the thermostat is turning the heater off so it's running a bit over a 50% duty...

    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    I was thinking more racks is good too, or at least more places to put them so they could be given different heights for different needs.  I only have enough material for 6 at the moment.  I would love SS, but I looked at the price for expanded metal and premade shelving and unfortunately it is...

    My Done Enough to Work Fridge Build

    A funny thing happened on the way to figuring out how to cut my expanded steel for shelves.  I decided to strip the zinc and rust off my existing shelves with a little hydrochloric acid bath.  That seemed to work nicely and after they had stopped fizzing I rinsed them off and gave them a little...
