    Quick pastrami question, what temp when it is done?

    Thanks guys, It was very good. I chilled it then sliced the rest on my meat slicer. Have a fresh sour dough loaf for sandwiches today. Next one I'll try the more traditional way, this was very thin and I had already seasoned thinking I was going to grill it then someone suggested Pastrami so I...

    Quick pastrami question, what temp when it is done?

    It turned out just fine, moist, tender, I'm not a pastrami guru so no idea if this is correct but it tasted good with some cream cheese on rice crackers, dill pickle and cab sav. Thanks all. cheers

    Quick pastrami question, what temp when it is done?

    Thanks! I pulled it at 205*, it's resting right now...I'll try it in an hour or so....another late dinner. Ha. Next time I'll choose a larger piece, this was the flat from a small brisket from my neighbors cow he processed this spring. cheers

    Quick pastrami question, what temp when it is done?

    I’m smoking my first ever pastrami tonight which is just a very thin brisket flat no more than an inch and a quarter, and only about 2 pounds. I put it on 4 hours ago and wrapped it in foil at 170, it’s now 190° just wondering when I should take it off, at what temperature? Should I take it to...

    Need some ITC-106VH PID tuning help please SOLVED

    Hi Kurt et al, After my extensive research and playing with the PIDs for the last few days, I think I can confirm the REX C-100 operates the same, or very close to the Auber. P is actually real degrees and I and D are in seconds. P, besides being in degrees for easy setup, in commercial systems...

    Shotgun Shells with a twist, my first try. Here we go.

    Well there are none left between my son and I, they turned out awesome! The shells were fork tender and the sausage was moist, bacon crisp. One thing I wanted to do but forgot was to put a water pan in the smoker to help soften the pasta but as it turns out, is probably not needed. Based on my...

    Shotgun Shells with a twist, my first try. Here we go.

    About to come off the smoker, I think they’re done. I ended up basting with honey balsamic bbq sauce, a little sweet but should compliment the heat. More later. Cheers

    Shotgun Shells with a twist, my first try. Here we go.

    Here they are after 1 hour, shells are getting soft, bacon starting to cook nicely. What sauce would be appropriate for these given the mix of ingredients? Cheers

    Shotgun Shells with a twist, my first try. Here we go.

    Great minds think alike, I already put on a Tex-Mex rub I found in the cupboard which I haven’t used for a while. They’re in the smoker with some of grandma Nora‘s baked beans. Cheers

    Stick with Kamado, or something else?

    I have 2 of your choices, a Kamado Joe copy, could be a Visions, came from Superstore in Canada. I find its quality is very good and have used it quite a lot for 2 or 3 years, mainly smoking and long cooks. I also have the Weber WSM 18" and haven't used it much, I just didn't find it versatile...

    Shotgun Shells with a twist, my first try. Here we go.

    Finally all the ingredients came together and it's time for me to try shotgun shells. I decided to make my own Chorizo instead of the usual breakfast sausage as I also wanted to make Chorizo sausages and thought this was a good test bed. I made up a 1Kg batch of Marianskis Mexican Chorizo but I...

    Need some ITC-106VH PID tuning help please SOLVED

    And I can confirm the Rex C 100 has been running perfect although I’ve been tweaking it for the last four hours while I’m cooking ribs and beans in the smoker, I figured out all the parameters and it really makes a difference, depending on what your setpoint is as to the parameters. Setting...

    Need some ITC-106VH PID tuning help please SOLVED

    Thanks Kurt, really appreciate the explanation. The Auber sounds like it operates much the same as the REX C-100 and other "normal" consumer grade PIDs, which is what I am used to and have programmed before and had success with. I went back thru my notes and forgot about my other thread about...

    MES30 upgrade and DigiQ DX2

    Nice work curious to know how your new controller works? I’m just going through some tuning steps with my PID on my second GEN Mes30 digital. Cheers

    Need some ITC-106VH PID tuning help please SOLVED

    PS here is what I received from Inkbird. They said to use the ITC-100 manual for the technical descriptions of values etc. It still doesn't answer my question of "what are the units of P" in the PID formula, degrees? percentage of full range? percentage of ?? or ???

    Need some ITC-106VH PID tuning help please SOLVED

    Thanks guys! Another morning of mucking about with the PID tuning, thankfully I am off this week and only have weeding and yard cleanup and house renos to do, but this is more fun. I partly loaded it up with jalapeno peppers this morning got it up to 150* then started the auto tune cycle set...

    Need some ITC-106VH PID tuning help please SOLVED

    Thanks, I'm giving up on PID tuning the insulated digital smoker, the thermal time constant is too long to get a PID to work in the low temp 130-160 smoking range. I'll tune it for higher temp 225-275 big meat smokes and use the Analog MES for bacon and sausage etc. which I have tuned...

    Need some ITC-106VH PID tuning help please SOLVED

    I'm back tuning a new PID for my super insulated MES30 Digital. I couldn't get the REX-c100 tuned properly, the box is too damn well insulated, so I am trying my Inkbird ITC-106VH. I also installed a new RTD pt-100 sensor permanently in the back wall about 2/3 way up from the bottom, I insulated...

    Another smoker arrives. MES30 Digital, I think I am finally done all the mods, it's AWESOME!

    I finished the last of the mods I am going to make to this smoker...for now... I machined a brass rod then threaded it to accept the Type K thermocouple I am using. I machined a flat onto the rod and soldered it to a copper sheet. Copper is an excellent thermal conductor and the response now is...

    Another smoker arrives. MES30 Digital, I think I am finally done all the mods, it's AWESOME!

    I'm keeping that port available for probe cable entry, plugged the bottom drain hole...smoked 2 test pepperoni sausages tonight and everything tracked within 3 degrees, side to side and to the PID sensor. PID K thermocouple is slow to respond so tomorrow I'm building a copper spreader bar...
