    Sourdough starter died...

    cool. i've seen bannetons but never tried one. i take it you recommend them? do i need one? i bake bread once/week but the final rise is usually in a preforated half cylinder or regular bread pan.

    how safe is the MB30??

    thanks guys. i'd feel better if i understood what happened in that old post willie gave me. thatwas a total melt down that would have ignited a house. i guess the poster never found out why it burned. if i knew that, i could avoid it.

    how safe is the MB30??

    timber, with that vote of confidence, i will. i haven't gone a week without smoking since july 1. i have a steak for the treager, to see if  it actually grills. the recipe provided by traeger calls for 350 for 20 minutes. i never heard of steak at 350, have you? i can get 400 on this machine...

    Thighs cooked with bamboo charcoal.

    thanks, farmer i have some bamboo pieces i could toss in with the pellets. since it's grass it shouldn't be dangerous.

    how safe is the MB30??

     timber, mostly, i don't wanna die screaming in pain, but catching grease is a nice plus. i won't put the smoker on the deck till i get some. i may miss my regular saturday smoke due to snow. both snow n cold are breaking records in new mexico. sarge, where do you park your smoker so you are...

    how safe is the MB30??

    thanks for the tip, timber. i'll look for dura rock. it really would be nicer to have the smoker on the deck, if i can make it safe. thesmoker would probably like being out of the wind n rain, too.

    how safe is the MB30??

    thanks, will. i'll put it on the dirt away from the house. even a 1 in a thousand chance is too big when i'm sleeping.

    how safe is the MB30??

    i just got this thing to smoke hams at lower temps than my horrid traeger can reach. that means i'll be smoking overnight. the most convenient place for me to put it is on a covered wood deck. so, it would be sitting on wood n there's an arbor covered with plywood 4-5 feet over it. can i do...

    Newbie question about marinading pork before smoking

    timber, my traeger has always given little smoke taste. using the tube or maze  makes such a big difference it's like night n day. i am convinced these things are a great buy. i now have the tube for the pellet grill n the maze for the MB. i bet you'll love one. i won't smoke without one...

    Newbie question about marinading pork before smoking

    timber, the chicken in italian dressing was good, but next time i'll  marinate 4-5 days.  gotcha, sqwib. you know, i've been doing things backwards. for 7 months i've been studying brines, cures, rubs, etc. just recently i started studying the flavor profiles of  different woods. these are so...
