    Venturi Burner - My next project

    I have a propane-fired tube for my flavor wood - or I can ignite mesquite charcoal (have not tried that yet). It is plumbed into an electric smoker. Thanks for the reply...Campfirestu

    Venturi Burner - My next project

    Hi JC What are your thoughts on controlling the temps? Are you going to regulate the pressure to control the temp? I began studying the Ole Hickory EL series pits and decided to try to mimic the process they use as close as I could given the equipment I have. That's why your post was...

    Smoker modification: How can I get higher temps out of my smoker?

    Depending on what size items you want to powder coat you might check out re-purposing a regular electric oven. They are more powerful (2500ish watts) and can run at higher temps all day long. You had me at 'motorcycle parts'

    Smoker modification: How can I get higher temps out of my smoker?

    Hi Debun Others will chime in here who are more familiar with your Masterbuilt smoker but I think you would be exceeding the max design temp on your smoker cabinet.

    What is the mailbox mod?

    3/4'' step drill vs a 3'' hole saw made my choice easy. Plus the 25 buck air pump has a knob on it that lets me control the smoke flow. At the end of the day do what works for you Happy Smoking...Campfirestu

    What is the mailbox mod?

    Responding to an old post here... you don't necessarily need a large pipe going into your smoker. I use 3/4'' pipe and a small venturi pump to transfer the smoke from the smoke box into the smoker. The variable (fish tank) air pump is how I regulate the smoke. This is how store-bought smoke...

    Thankful that smoking Pork Loins are a forgiving meat to smoke.

    Actually, we're thankful for so many things but we're glad Pork loins are not too hard to cook. Put these in the smoker with applewood chunks at 275 degrees for 1 Hr 25 mins (got distracted) One with olive oil and a rub, and the other was just olive oil, salt, and pepper. Checked with the...

    PID question

    Not sure if this will help you with the issue your having: I set my temp on my Omron E5 to read ~10 degrees over the desired temp depending on the size of the food load. What I'm looking for is after opening the door and loading the food I want the smoker temp to fall close to my desired cook...

    Inkbird Kudo's

    Kudo's for SMF on the Inkbird recommendations. Ours came today. So we did chicken thighs (normally a 1hr 10 Min cook for us - smoker temp 275 deg) and it was nice to see the 180 deg confirmation on the Inkbird when we pulled them from the smoker.

    New Smoker

    That temp monitoring system sounds great. Looks like a great variety of smokes your doing - Enjoy!

    safety roll switch

    Good reason to make sure your thermal cut-off switch is still incorporated with any control mod.

    Please Help - Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker Sensor stuck at 300 degrees F

    Great info - I don't own a MES but I could have used this controller on my oven conversion rather than my Omron E5 and external SSR. The nice thing about it is the enclosure the Auber comes with. It's best to utilize the thermal overtemp limit switch if your unit is equipped with one.
