    Inkbird PID going crazy

    So I smoked a batch of summer sausage today and noticed my Inkbird PID temp display going crazy. Say my temp was set at 150°. When it got close to target temp, it would quickly start jumping from 149 to 155 to 147 to 150 and so forth. Would do that for about 5 seconds then quit and settle on a...

    Modified MES 30 test run

    Well I finally have my MES 30 a test run. My mailbox mod ran well. Didn’t seem to add heat and the smoke is steady. Added a side shelf to hold the pid. The only issue I’m having is temp overshoot. I do have an aftermarket element. Probably too big. Does everyone using a MES 30 use the supplied...

    My modified MES 30

    A story in pictures. I picked up a cheap MES 30 off marketplace and first gutted and cleaned it up. Then added a new 1650W burner I had. Added a fan I already had from a different build. Added a new exhaust and intake for my pellet tube. Temp prob port was added and it will all be ran from my...

    Converting a propane upright to pellet

    I have already converted a warming cabinet to a smoker. It has a traeger hopper with a Smoke Daddy Sportsman series controller. I like it but it is too big for some of the things I do. I was considering converting a smaller propane/charcoal cabinet smoker to a pellet. I already have the hopper...

    Ribs and butt

    Anyone guess what I'm having for dinner? Yay ribs. The two butts are for later. Figured I'd pull them and split the meat into 1 lb bags so when I want to do a pizza or some nachos I'd have some on hand.

    1st cheese try

    I thought I would give cheese a try today. Ended up smoking 6 blocks of cheese. Since it was 13* today, I preheated the smoker to 50* and put the cheese and my smoke tube in. Just the pellets burning brought the temp to 75* within an hour and it held there for the rest of the smoke. I'll vacuum...

    Traeger or gun

    What would you do? You have $510 in scheels gift cards. Would you put it toward a traeger or a gun?

    Horizontal smoke generator

    Has anyone built a horizontal smoke generator for a pellet tube? Had the idea to make something like a smoke daddy but only mount it horizontally to use something like an Amazen tube. Use a fan or pump to move air across the side of the tube into the smoker and drill holes in the other side for...

    New smoker

    Finally got to start seasoning the new smoker. Let the fun begin. Made on the cheap with leftover construction material. Heat is from two 1000w burners controlled by two 1000w dimmers. I have less than $150 into it.

    Wire fridge shelves

    I am sure this is a dumb question, but, anyone use or would you use the white fridge shelves in a smoker? They are steel but I don't know the heat rating on the white. I called a local appliance store, told them what I was doing and they set about 8 shelves aside. 3 were oven racks and the rest...
