I normally just smoke cheese in the winter with my amazn pellet tray and no other heat. maybe try in the morning or evening, any . How in the world is northern colorado 72deg right now? Box temps over 100 degrees will melt most cheese. I will smoke mine normally 1-2 hours and pretty much only...

Just got done rubbing some ribs for dinner and I changed the binder. Normally I use mustard as I assume a lot of members also do. Although I have heard that the binder is largely inert, I have used oil in the past on pork and didnt like it, so there does seem to be a difference. Today I...

Well an update to my issue. I finally got to smoke some more meat today and am not pleased with the progress. I heated the pellets in the microwave for 2 minutes (per suggestions on here), and lit with torch for a minute. then let them burn for 5 minutes before blowing them our an placing...

Bill1 you just crushed it. Well done sir. Im not sure what all that means but it sounds great!

Yes I run a inkbird in addition to my pid. I ran my inkbird when I had the stock controller also. That’s how I know how poor the actual temps were when I used the stock controller. I checked my inkbird and pid for accuracy

You can always purchase a PID to replace the stock electric controllers. That may be why it was suggested to get the 40" models. If/when the controller goes its easier to justify the PID because the box will be the biggest they offer.

I would go with the new units. They seem to be prone to electrical issues so may have better luck with warranty work on newer units.

Dave its tuff to say what the actual temp was at previously because it would be all over the place. I would say that if I set the temp to 225 actual temp would range from 200-215ish

What do you all use as the glue to hold your rub. I have always used mustard but yesterday I tried olive oil and the result was possible the worse rack of ribs that I have smoked. I hope that was the cause and not that I possibly omitted an ingredient from my rub as I make my rub in bulk then...

Not really Dave. Previously if I set me temp to 225 I would be lucky if the high end of the spike reached 220. So actually the tray is hotter with the Auber.

Not sure how the microwave would be any different than the oven that I have been using. The screens are clean on the amnps. Yes I have a chip loader, so next time I will introduce a little more air flow.

I have a MES 30" nothing has changed other than the auber which has accurate temperature. Now when I smoke at 225 its accurate, previously it ran much cooler than what it was set at with factory controls.

I get about 4 hours per row, which would be about 12 hours total. I was thinking the pellets but I just cant see how they would have gone bad, in a bucket with a lid on it. I could probably get about 8 hours per row at its current rate, which would be half the smoke I should be getting.

I have a AMNPS for my masterbuilt and have successfully used it for years. Recently I upgraded my units controller to an Auber and since then (possibly coincidence) my pellets seem to not smoke much, if at all. I used to get about 4 hours per row on the AMNPS, which is typical, now I am lucky...

Sorry guys, thats just my sense of humor.

wow flatbroke, that was articulate and poetic, you should submit that for a pulitzer. I was looking for a comprehensive suggestion. Do I stick with jeffs rub or is something else better when not smoked? Has anyone used a crock pot? Both cook so obviously both will work. If using the oven...

Yesterday I pulled a slab of BB ribs with intentions of smoking them today. Well the wind really picked up and the temperature dropped and now it seems like smoking may be out. What are some non smoking options with these ribs? I am sure I could still smoke them but I dont think it would be...

Yeah I really should, at the very least the temperature is holding more consistant than previously with the stock electronics.

This morning is the first time using my new auber PID. I reset the controller to P2 I0 D0, as smarter minds then mine on this site have similar settings. My first observation is wow this masterbuilt 30" smoker has huge temperature differences within the box! while heating up, my ink bird and...

Thanks for the replies. Interesting that neither normanaj or bearcarvers safety switch didn’t seem to work? Both those temps are over what the stock controller allows as well as the stock safety switch.
