    1st Time Making Pastrami

    Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! In honor of my Irish ancestors, I decided to do a corned beef in the smoker yesterday. I put the brisket flat in the smoker yesterday afternoon about 1:15 and set the temperature to 225° and used cherry wood. A short time later (fifteen and a half hours) I...

    Bypassing the Factory Controller

    My old analog 30”, that I used an Auber Instruments controller on, finally crossed the rainbow bridge, so my most generous wife insisted I get a newer bigger smoker. I ended up getting a Masterbuilt MB20071819 model. It is very basic, but that is what I wanted since I intend to use my Auber...

    Thanks for adding me to the group

    Thanks for adding me to the group, I have been a lurker for several years now. I started off years ago with a digital 30" model. When it shot craps I went with an analog model but added an Auber Instruments smoker controller to it. I loved that thing, I modified it to take the cold smoker...
