    PID options for Masterbuilt 30" analog smoker

    I built my own using a BERM REX-C100 kit from Amazon, $20 includes the PID, SSR and thermocouple. I mounted it in a plastic weatherproof project box, it's been working perfectly all summer. Search for my threads about it and you will see it. Cheers Amazon PID

    All done pulled at 180*, 4 hours at 325*, 13lbs. Tasting in an hour. Looks like I didn't need to foil the wingtips. Cheers

    Upside down Turkey smoke for T-day, anyone done it?

    Gentlemen, start your enzymes... The turkey is brined and seasoned and on the rod, hanging in the smoker and timer has started. It looks like it will work very well, lots of clearance to the top, wing tips just touching the drip pan, lots of space around the bird. I set the temp at 300* to...

    Upside down Turkey smoke for T-day, anyone done it?

    Some cool ideas and pictures being shared here, thanks everyone. I decided for this weekend I am going to stick my original plan of cooking the inverted bird. I setup the smoker this afternoon with a 1/2" steel rod and some bailing wire, I can adjust the height once the bird is on the rod and...

    Upside down Turkey smoke for T-day, anyone done it?

    I'm planning on about 275* for an hour or so, see how the temp climb is, then bump to 325* to finish. Nice thing about the pellet smoker is it's like a convection oven as the fan is quite strong and moves the air around so it's evenly cooked and should make a crispy skin. It's supposed to be a...

    Upside down Turkey smoke for T-day, anyone done it?

    Thanks for the thoughts, I hadn't thought of skin sticking to the grates. I could rig up a rotisserie rod on 2 end racks, bricks etc so the bird would hang upside, not touching the grates. I have some time to play with it, I'll post pics when I get it sorted. Cheers

    Upside down Turkey smoke for T-day, anyone done it?

    Thanksgiving is coming up and I want to try something different. I have the PB820 pellet smoker and want to try cooking the T-day bird upside down on the smoker. My thought it the back has all the fat in it, and when cooked breast up, the fat just sits in the bottom and runs out into the pan...

    Cooking a large thin brisket, should I fold it in half? Follow along for the ride.

    Pulled at 206 and rested for 30 minutes, then sliced and it wasn’t awesome, but it was good, a touch dry, towards the center was better. Overall was pleased and the pork fat will be awesome for ??? It looks amazing. Just finished dinner, brisket, beans and tomato basil and onion with balsamic...

    Extreme Hot & Fast in electric smoker

    Once it hits 180 or so I wrap it in foil and into the oven, no point burning pellets or charcoal etc. just to finish the cook in a smoker as it's wrapped in foil. Cheers

    Cooking a large thin brisket, should I fold it in half? Follow along for the ride.

    Just made Grandma Nora's baked bean recipe and added it to the smoker. Also took a pic of my tool box (maillbox) mod to get a little more airflow thru the smoker and not draw too much air thru the tool box, works great! Cheers

    Cooking a large thin brisket, should I fold it in half? Follow along for the ride.

    Thanks guys, Well I tried rolling it and it ended up a really large diameter and I thought it would take to long to cook thru by dinner time. I ended up folding it in half as pictured and it looks good. I let it go for 3 hours to get some color and crust and I just put the layers of fat on it...

    Good day all, Another beautiful sunny day here, perfect for smoking a brisket so I pulled out another brisket from my neighbor and although it's 4 lbs it big and thinish. I made the last one as is and it didn't take long to cook, this time I'm thinking of folding it in half to get a "normal"...

    My 5th batch of Snack Sticks...I'm gettin' there...

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep it at 1 tsp of Fennel. I had my first taste last night, I am very happy with the flavour, it has some heat but not like my local sausage maker. Yes fry test every time, works great and I should have added more heat but I'll make another batch in a few weeks...

    Too much smoke from your mailbox mod? Try this.

    I am making another batch of Pepperoni sticks and have the smokin tube going with pellets now in the toolbox, ran out of dust, and am getting too much smoke. I pulled the duct out of the chip loader and let the natural draft pull in fresh air mixed with the smoke from the toolbox (mailbox). This...
