    Where's the best deal on a PID controller?

    Thanks do much for the clarification. It makes sense now.

    Where's the best deal on a PID controller?

    I made an Excel spreadsheet on measuring the temps every five minutes, for 2 hours. Once it got up to temp, which took almost half an hour the average temp was 239. It got as high as 264 and as low as 215. My first question is does the time that it takes to get up to temp effect the 2-2-1...

    Where's the best deal on a PID controller?

    I have a Number 2 Smokin-it. Their controller is expensive and actually more than I need in that I already have a remote temp probe. I am just thinking it might be nice to control the temp more accurately.

    OK I know I am a tight wad

    I rinsed it before washing it and it is the same temperature that I do dishes. I have a friend that is a retired Health Department Inspector that I will get his opinion on.

    OK I know I am a tight wad

    I brined a chicken yesterday in a 2.5 gallon Hefty bag (a neat trick I read on this forum) and instead of throwing it out, I turned it inside out and threw in the washer with a load of clothes. I let it air dry and Voila! Almost as good as new. I think I should be able to reuse it numerous times.

    Great Outdoors Smoky Mountain 3 questions if I may

    Thoughts on electric vs. propane. Can you put wood chunks in the fire box or does it have to be chips? How about brisket? The 16 X 14 seems a little small for brisket. Thanks in advance.

    Low and slow...the myth.

    I have been cooking my Thanksgiving turkey in the oven for years at 170. It takes twice as long, but the meat falls off the bones, is very juicy and I cook it uncovered without basting once.

    How to roll a fatty?

    It would appear some prefer jelly roll style and others just wrap the sausage with the weave. Can anyone tell me the benefits of either style as I am getting ready to try my first one on Wednesday. Thanks in advance.

    Whats your favorite BBQ sauce?

    I like Jeff's also and Sweet Baby Rays and Curley's. I believe Curley started making his sauce in the 50's in Winfield, KS. He has long since passed on and it is corporate made now. I have never tried anything but the original and I really like it. Here is a site for it https://www.curleysbbq.com

    Actually I do plot the two temps in an Excel spreadsheet complete with graphs.

    Can monitor temperature from anywhere

    I got a D-Link camera (@ $35 it was the cheapest I could find) got an iPhone app for free. I position the camera to "see" the receiver and I can now leave the house and keep an eye on the smoker and meat. On top of that it turns out it has a built in microphone too, which I didn't realize when I...

    A good article on "The Stall"

    Maybe we need a new forum with things like this. Greatest Hits or Hall of Fame come to mind, especially if it has been posted 10 times. Just a thought.
