Oh and ya i loved my pull handle fridge, i had no plans to get rid of it until i was given this freezer. I gave it to one of my best friends who lost his smoker in a tstorm w some wicked microburst winds, his gas grill got wrecked like a car into his house, and nothing but the base of his smoker was left lol :rotflmao:so he has been without all year and hes someone who smokes food weekly like myself, so the pull handle was a huge upgrade for him.
I will try and get some pics up today, i have the pid controller in, the heating element installed, and removed the fence post smoke generator, the thing worked great, but the chips got clogged up in it. So i just made the drink mix shaker version for a smoke generator. I had planned to use wood chunks on the heating element, but then i thought, why???? Why put my heating element through the wear of that? So ive done two smokes so far in it, a 3lb turkey breast, and about a 4 lb eye of round. Both came out AMAZING!!! Sorry no turkey pic, but heres the eye of round, smoked at 225-230, pulled at 135-140.
After i pulled it i wrapped it in seran wrap then a towell and rested it for bout 15-20 mins, ive always used seran wrap for wrapping and resting meats. Not that foil is wrong, i just prefer the results of plastic wrap and how it seals it up so tight.
