    Top mounted heating element with convection fan MES mod

    Finally, ordered high-heat paint to make it look even nicer and probably last longer :) Next step is to replace expensive but stupid Auber controller with simple DIY controller that would not only work via WiFi but also work as I want a smoker controller to work, e.g. I want to control more that...

    How long is vacuum sealed cured meat good for

    Vacuum sealed or not the meat gets contaminated. Refrigeration just slows down the process of meat rotting. Non refrigerated meat gets rotten much faster. Vacuum sealing adds some protection from future contamination.

    I introduce steaming at the last step of sausage cooking when temperature is supposed to not exceed 80 C. Basically I just close that top hole and run steamer for couple of minutes to increase humidity then stop steamer and let the heater do its job. It does require my attendance but that's...

    Top mounted heating element with convection fan MES mod

    I apologize for "well seasoned" pictures. I regret I wasn't taking pictures while all the mods were made. Basically I removed original heating element. Then drilled holes close to the top of both side walls and moved rods that were supporting it. Then I cut square hole at the bottom of back...

    Well, as far as I know plugging 240v heating element to 110v would make twice as low current and is harmless. It's not so the other way around, i.e. plugging 110v element to 240v. Most likely It would melt or blow.

    Top mounted heating element with convection fan MES mod

    It worked extremely well although I had to change original design as I realized that the smoker chamber is small enough to make effective air circulation without making much extra changes. Basically it works great with the heater and impeller fan combo mounted at the bottom of back wall. I have...

    Top mounted heating element with convection fan MES mod

    It looks like I'm gonna need to force hot air down. Couple of metal sheets on each side of a smoker should do that. Although I'd first test it as is and deal with problems as they happen.

    Top mounted heating element with convection fan MES mod

    Hello everybody, I'm new here but not a complete newbie to smoking and sausage making. I've been making sausages for few years but always dreamed of better way of cooking and smoking them. Usually I use my oven to do cooking and smoke sausages once cooking is done using simple spiral smoker...
