    TSM Red Roof 30lb smoker

    Eric on 2guys&acooler did a test to find the right temp to take a sausage without cure and get it through the danger zone and up to finished, safe temp of 155 or 160 (can't remember off hand). He found the smoker set at 200°f was the best and safest method, again, without cure. Having a capable...

    TSM Red Roof 30lb smoker

    I believe TSM states absolute max temp is 250 but max setting with supplied controller is 225. I could be wrong. I am not looking for anything over 250 but don't want to know I'm running maxed out every time at 225-250 if that makes sense. And, everything will definitely act differently with...

    TSM Red Roof 30lb smoker

    Today i removed the factory controller and heating element. Temporarily installed a 1500w 120v hotplate along with my new Auber AW-1520 WIFI PID. Max temp on the hotplate was ≈220f. Set the PID to 200f then 210f and this is a screenshot. Why couldn't TSM install this in the first place? This is...

    Colorado People - Check out Proud Souls Barbecue & Provisions

    It's always good to find and support a local shop like this one. I'll be sure to stop by next time I'm up there. My avoidance of the big cities is getting stronger and stronger every year. We live in a mountain side community north of Bayfield. If the kid and wife want to go shopping or i have a...

    Cold Smoked Chex Mix

    I did purchase the wifi pid. We live in the San Juan mountains in Colorado so we needed to purchase a Starlink as it's the only way to get reliable Internet up here. My connection is 2.4ghz. You already know with the cold smoking and all the amazing sausages you've shared on this site, I'm...

    Cold Smoked Chex Mix

    I got my bella cold smoke generator and the auber fan installed. Just wanted to make sure the coil element wast another point of failure. The pid controller was on backorder but hopefully will ship out this week so I can get everything dialed in. Appreciate your support.

    Cold Smoked Chex Mix

    One last question while I'm waiting for the Auber controller, are you still using the original heating element? If so, are you happy with the temperature range or would you ever install a stronger element?

    Cold Smoked Chex Mix

    Thanks for responding. I tried running as is and it was a pain in the ass. Temps all over the place! I did a write-up in the electric smoker section but it's waiting for admin approval because I'm new here. Really appreciate your input.

    TSM Red Roof 30lb smoker

    Yesterday, I played a little game called "it can't be that bad" with my new TSM red roof. I just wanted to see how it works 'as is'. I made a batch of Sheboygan brats with roasted Pueblo green chiles, high temp cheddar cheese, c-binder and cure #1. I purchased this appliance knowing I would...

    Too cold, ambient temps not keeping up

    You're just low smoking at that temp, which is fine. 90° isn't bad after two hours but with a max of 160° you're not going to get fat and connective tissue break down if you're going for pulled pork. Before I had any real equipment, I would smoke on one device and finish on another. Thanks to...

    Cold Smoked Chex Mix

    I just received my TSM red roof smoker and was wondering if I could get your opinion on it. I have seen your posts here and in the makers hub Facebook group. Unfortunately TSM is still using the novus controller with the separate inkbird Bluetooth thermometer. I have purchased the auber fan kit...
