    A bit of Dry Cured Sausage

    Thank you! The instacure 1 and two are both pink. My big concern was that I used #1 instead of # 2. Figured that it has nitrites and would still ensure that botulism cannot grow. Thought nitrates were added for cures over 6 months when the nitrites wear off. I'm bumbed but I guess I'll be...

    A bit of Dry Cured Sausage

    That all looks delicious. I grew up eating dried sausage though they never used the cure. I recently decided to give it a try. I followed a recipe to make sure I was not taking any chances. I noticed after drying that I used instacure #1 on accident. I have both but in the rush of mixing...

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    I had the smoker at 225 degrees. But the AMNPS was near the burner on bottom. Maybe it was too hot down there? I'll try it in the upper compartment today. Do most people use pellets or sawdust?

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    No I wish I had that one, it was my first choice. I had to settle for a cheaper controller for the time being. I will eventually order that. I have the maverick to monitor the food temp.this is what i am using as a controller. I had to add a larger relay to handle the amperage of the burner. I...

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    I am using a Dual Mini Temperature Controller. It is not wired yet but it will be soon. I do have the AMZN smoker but I have not had a chance to use it yet. Im hoping to break her in this weekend with a few pork butts.

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    Thankyou all for the advice. After enlarging the hole between the upper and lower compartment, and decreasing the exhuast to 3". The smoker is hitting temps writhe the 1500 watt electric burner. The advice saved me from running 220. Saved me quite a bit of $$$. So again thank you.

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    I am in the processes of making the hole between the two compartments larger. I will let you know if that takes care of it. I am also reducing the exhuast. Thank you for the help.

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    DaveOmac the opening between the upper and lower compartment is 18" * 5". Do you think the opening needs to be larger? The cross section of the inside is 24" * 14". For the intake i have two 4" holes on right side and three 3" holes on left side. They all can be completly closed. I think the...

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    The thermostat/thermometer is halfway up on the back wall. I also have a thermometer in front door. They only protrude a inch or two. I had it plugged into a 3' 30amp cord to reach the outlet. What size intake and exhuast do u have. I'm wondering if that is my main issue. Because my previous...

    Hello all I need help finding a electric burner for my first build.

    I have a six inch exhaust. When testing I taped it almost shut. That is when I hit 190. Also when testing I had intakes almost closed. The burner has a thermostat but i removed it to ensure that was not the problem. I plan on reducing exhaust to 3". Also intend on installing another burner in...
