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.

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...
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
Here we are after six hours it’s hit 185. I am wrapping it in foil and since it took me so long to figure out how to post on my phone, the meat temperature is now 190.
Lookin yummy.
Stay tuned.
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
Grandma Nora's bean recipe, just rough measures, I never measure anything.
2 cans baked beans, any variety, I use Heinz or Bush
about 2 TBSP molasses
about 3 TBSP BBQ sauce, your choice
about 2 TBSP brown sugar
about 1 -2 TBSP yellow mustard
whole medium yellow/spanish onion rough chopped
Stir...
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
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"...
I just brought home 2 trays of OUCH, yummy....this will get the heat up. Habaneros, Jalapenos, Hot Hungarian and my first time ever, Ghost Peppers. Going to have to wait for someone else to be in the house before I try those, I haven't trained the cat to call 911 yet. All picked today by my...
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...
I made my 5th batch of pepperoni sticks yesterday, and other than needing more heat, I am very happy with the results. 1 lb beef, 3 lbs pork using the High Mountain pepperoni mix with addition of 1tsp of ground fennel seeds, 2 tsps of my own smoked ground red crimson peppers, 2 tsps of my own...
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...
