    Race Day here in Indy, so the brisket goes on early!

    Hope the weather co-operates with the race.

    MES40 Tripping GFCI But Previously Didn't

    All your statements are correct. I think it would be a good idea for the OP to unplug the smoker from the wall, hook one of his ohmmeter leads to the ground connection and the other to the Hot, and then to the Neutral, and then the case of the smoker. The Hot is the "skinny" blade and the...

    MES40 Tripping GFCI But Previously Didn't

    1989? Youngster. Yeah, I still have a Triplett analog meter. Many times I prefer it to a digital. Let me grab a couple of pictures of my digital. Semantics are a real pain when it comes to things like this.

    MES40 Tripping GFCI But Previously Didn't

    Not to nit-pick, but if an ohm meter display reads 0 it's a dead short. If it reads "OL" or "1---" then it's an open circuit. I know what you meant but it could be confusing.

    Throwdowns and such

    @DRKsmoking - I should have just stayed out of this thread. I realized what I had written was on the snarky side of things. And I really didn't intend it to come out that way. I haven't bought a steak in over a year. I would love to have one, but I can't justify spending that much money on 1...

    Throwdowns and such

    I just don't think I have a chance, and I don't have the money to spend on some of these throwdowns.

    Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill No smoke flavor

    I have zero experience with stick burners. But I do know what I achieved with my pellet burners slowing down the airflow somewhat. One thing about a pellet burner that's different from other smokers is the fire is fan forced. The Z Grill blew a whole lot more air than the Traeger Pro 22. Agree...

    Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill No smoke flavor

    @Smokin Okie So how fast is the air flow through a stick burner?

    Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill No smoke flavor

    Funny how that happens. :) The old Z Grill I first bought was basically a jet as received. Once I choked down the exhaust, things did taste better. Have a good one!

    Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill No smoke flavor

    My point was just that too much airflow will seriously reduce the amount of time the smoke is in contact with the meat.

    Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill No smoke flavor

    @schlotz - So you don't think the amount of airflow through a pellet smoker has anything to do with the amount of flavor?

    Vevor 12" 320w Slicer Review

    I've got 4 pepper cats, 4 albino cory cats and 8 neon tetras. It's a 29 gal tall. I have hard well water with lots of carbonates in it. I had a helluva time keeping fish until I got this distillation unit. Now I haven't had a single death in 2 years.

    Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill No smoke flavor

    Here's a couple of basic items: 1 - Clean the firepot completely. 2 - Remove any foil you may have put under the grates. 3 - Set the grill for 180 degrees. 4 - Open the stack all the way. 5 - After the grill is lit and temperature stable, start closing the stack. 6 - Did the amount of smoke...

    Vevor 12" 320w Slicer Review

    Nice looking slicer. I've got a Vevor meat grinder that works great. Also got a Vevor water distillation unit for my aquarium water. It works great too.

    Found a new Lump

    The whole chicken cooked using this lump was declared delicious by my wife. :) I have bought a total of 17 bags of this lump. Should last me a week or two. :)
