    Analog gauge vrs digital gauge ?

    I will not use phosphates. I can't imagine what the judges go through at a competition.

    I am admiring the lovely Kari Byron on the Mythbusters marathon. I like everything about her. ♥♥

    Myron Mixon made several references to hot and fast on BBQ Pitmasters. The lack of fat rendering kinda goes along with your original post, correct?

    It's easier to hit the internal temperature you want with low and slow.

    On top of that, we're both retired and playing with fire is fun.

    Analog gauge vrs digital gauge ?

    You can bet the analog gage in your Franklin is a good quality, repeatable gage. I would prefer a repeatable gage every time. So, if you haven't already done this, put your digital probe where you put your meat. Put it directly on the grate and then build a small, controllable fire. Get the...

    Yeah, dropping to 250-275 would be a good thing to try. By the way, I don't mean to sound like an asshole.

    Analog gauge vrs digital gauge ?

    The difference is mechanical versus electronic construction . Then read this: The stem of an analog thermometer is rather large in diameter and at the same time is relatively short, and is attached to an even larger section that is mechanically and thermally attached to the external walls of...

    What does your internal meat thermo say??

    Analog gauge vrs digital gauge ?

    How was I supposed to know this?? My point is that too many people obsess with temperature when their cooks are turning out fine.

    Fixing the Automatic Slicing function on a Hobart 1712E slicer

    Something serious caused those parts to bend/break. And for what it's worth, those things were a PITA when they were working. I used to repair Hobart equipment. Some of the most overly-thought-out equipment in the whole world. (except for the AM12/AM14 dishwashers) I wouldn't spend anymore...

    Here is the current pit I am building. Going to be a long post... offset 125-gallon backyard model.

    Make it look purdy.

    Weber Genesis Gas Grill Does Not Ignite

    @chopsaw I had dis-assembled my Weber Spirit to clean it last week and ended up with a problem lighting the left burner (the only one with an igniter). After reading this post, I went out and looked again. I removed the igniter assembly and took a small wirebrush and cleaned the burner tube...

    All my smokers were in a garage fire.

    ^ This. That's why you pay for insurance.

    What is the speed of good airflow in a smoker?

    So go buy a $20 anemometer and go around measuring all the smokers you can find. Measure yours and then make modifications and see how things go.

    PI Controller project

    Yeah, they could source or sink 200mA back in the day. Not sure what they'll do today.

    PI Controller project

    TL084's are pretty good op amps. And don't forget the old 555 that just won't die. I swear you can do anything with one of those. :) I still have the old 555 Handbook. A little worse for wear.

    Smoker Purchase Suggestion

    Weber Smokey Mountains rock. Look how much money Harry Soo has won using his for competition.

    I don't get the hate on Pellet Smokers.

    Complaining about pellet smokers is the same as people who bitch about 3-2-1 ribs.
