    Where is the warm air coming from? (thermodynamic kinda question)‏

    I am going with the theory that the fan is a heat sink to the 1/2 HP motor, the motor (and fan) spins freely by hand so I suspect no problem there. The unit is labeled 8.5 amps or close to that and that is pretty much the same consumption as the 1/2 HP motor (its a gas oven until I added the...

    Where is the warm air coming from? (thermodynamic kinda question)‏

    Interesting reply, and one I had not thought of. With your theory lets assume the motor is near 160° (it is quite warm to touch on the outside casing), with the shaft-fan, fan running at (85-90-97)°,,,,would the heat be drawn from the warmer surface towards the cooler surface (that being the...

    Where is the warm air coming from? (thermodynamic kinda question)‏

    Ok so I discovered a "problem" with my converted commercial oven for a smoker. Last time I smoked cheese I blamed myself/or the heat controller/or just plain bad luck for the cheese overheating and melting (or partially melting) the cheese. I smoked some yesterday again and it heated to 97°...

    Food (cheese) storage with vacuum bags

    If one were to use plastic (like the bags that come on a roll in the grocery store to put vegetables in) to store cheese that has been smoked, putting the cheese in the bag, then submerging the portion of the bag containing food under water in Tupperware type container, keeping the top of the...

    Does freezing cheese make it crumble?

    I had some I smoked awhile back and put in a cooler in the garage and forgot about it (couple weeks) it froze pretty hard and is now crumbling when I cut into, like it dried out (it was wrapped in plastic)

    How to build a fridge smoker

    A kitchen range which is often free has all the parts you need, use the baking element, and oven control. What type door gasket does the fridge have--if its rubber you likely will want to replace that with a rope like gasket often obtainable from the oven door of a kitchen range, some have a...

    Plastic ceiling light grid or stainless shelf?

    Now that I have my commercial convection oven in the shop to start making a dehydrator and smoker. I have to ask a couple/few questions. If used as a smoker will that ruin it as a dehydrator? As in will the smoke flavor end up in my dried apples? If so I also have second option for a...

    1st Cheese smoke (almost lost it)

    New question: As far as the temp for smoking cheese goes, if the cheese is cooler than 80° is that ok? I was getting lots of good smoke, the egg started out at 20° with a small fire in a tin can, all was well til I thought maybe the cheese was too cold--I had 80° where the heat comes up on the...

    1st Cheese smoke (almost lost it)

    At least I hope it was "almost", the green egg held at 80° for quite awhile with a indirect tray in it, then for some stupid reason I put the guru probe near the cheese (it had been near where the heat comes up along the side, and it overshot up to 150° Only one cheese melted somewhat---I was...

    Fridge conversion done

    This started right after we (Bob and myself) had purchased a commercial convection oven at auction thinking it was the perfect smoker box. We went to pick it up and they had a commercial fridge sitting in the room too, I inquired what they were going to do with that since it wasn't on the...
