    Vertical pellet smoker question

I’m going to make snack sticks and summer sausage and during the smoking process there are a couple times I don’t need smoke, just heat. Like the first hour I need 100-120 degrees and no smoke. I have a pit boss 5 series but...

    Snack Stick/Summer Sausage smoker

    so what I have been seeing there is a 3-4 step smoking process starting like 1 hour at 100 degrees. What smoker are you all using that gets that low. I have 2 pellet smokers and a Bradley smoker and the lowest they get is about 130-140 degrees. I have a oak joe wood burner but can’t hang...

    I am makin a lot of jerky, like 60lbs. I have not done that much before but I have a dehydrator that I have been using for years. It will take forever but I was wondering if smoking it will mess up the flavor? I have teriyaki, Cajun pepper, BBQ and some others. Will the smoke mess up the...

    Curing Cabinet build

    So I changed the cabinet over to curing at 54 degrees and 75%. One mistake I made was to make a couple continuous long links and as they where hanging the split because they where so heavy. So next time i will do one each and tie on each end. Also i dut the date/weight and expected weight on a...

    What about air flow? Do you have any issues with "stale" air? The only time my fan kicks in is when the compressor comes on, which I assume is not going to be very often since the temp stays so consistent...

    Curing Cabinet build

    That did it I believe... I set from 3.0 to 2.0 for both and then the humidifier was set all the way up and it was putting out a ton of mist. I dialed it back to a little before half way and now 75.2 and 75.3 all day long.. Thanks!!!

    Any idea why the humidty stays close to 2.5% higher? If I set it for 75% it sets about 77.5. If i set it to 72% it will sit at about 74.4. Temp is right on
