    Does someone know what they changed and can the original unit be modified to have the newer backdraft design they have come out with, I have the original and am "middle of the road" as far as how well I like it as I seem to get LOTS of heavy white smoke, but have trouble getting anywhere a "thin...

    Storing Meat Slicer and Grinder

    I am considering making a cart with a flip top, much like woodworkers might use to store a planer and drum sander---where the top flips over to make use of the other tool. Does anyone think having access to only a meat grinder/or slicer---only one at a time would be a big inconvience to how...

    Question about smoke generator (Big Kuhuna)

    In reading about "thin blue smoke" and just learning this whole smoking deal, I use a Big Kuhuna smoke generator and friends comment about "bitter" or "oversmoked" on some of my stuff esp. cheese. I have used chips, pellets, and wood chunks in it---cherry, hickory, apple, alder of all those...

    Where is the warm air coming from? (thermodynamic kinda question)‏

    Ok so I discovered a "problem" with my converted commercial oven for a smoker. Last time I smoked cheese I blamed myself/or the heat controller/or just plain bad luck for the cheese overheating and melting (or partially melting) the cheese. I smoked some yesterday again and it heated to 97°...

    Food (cheese) storage with vacuum bags

    If one were to use plastic (like the bags that come on a roll in the grocery store to put vegetables in) to store cheese that has been smoked, putting the cheese in the bag, then submerging the portion of the bag containing food under water in Tupperware type container, keeping the top of the...

    Plastic ceiling light grid or stainless shelf?

    Now that I have my commercial convection oven in the shop to start making a dehydrator and smoker. I have to ask a couple/few questions. If used as a smoker will that ruin it as a dehydrator? As in will the smoke flavor end up in my dried apples? If so I also have second option for a...

    1st Cheese smoke (almost lost it)

    At least I hope it was "almost", the green egg held at 80° for quite awhile with a indirect tray in it, then for some stupid reason I put the guru probe near the cheese (it had been near where the heat comes up along the side, and it overshot up to 150° Only one cheese melted somewhat---I was...

    This started right after we (Bob and myself) had purchased a commercial convection oven at auction thinking it was the perfect smoker box. We went to pick it up and they had a commercial fridge sitting in the room too, I inquired what they were going to do with that since it wasn't on the...

    Where do most get salvage thermostats for homemade elec

    I am helping a buddy make a fridge smoker, we are wondering the cheapest/best route to get heat and thermostat. It seems a kitchen range would have all the parts we need, but for some reason the first one on the curb didn't seem to have a working oven thermostat. (or we did something wrong...
