    Good Source for Meat - SF Bay Area

    I did not see a forum for sourcing meat, and I do not see a group in the forums for California, so we'll try General Discussion. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's difficult to find good cuts of meat for smoking and curing. The meat shops tend to be pricey. The run-of-the-mill...

    The Tractor Fired Right Up

    That's the same problem Linda and I have. I smoked ribs on Saturday and chicken on Sunday and we'll be eating leftovers for the next three days. I think tonight will include a mac n' cheese with smoked rib meat.

    Spammer PMs, Anybody Else?

    I received an email notification about the conversation. When I went to look at it the conversation appears to have been deleted. A hearty thanks to the website guru's.

    The Tractor Fired Right Up

    Great looking tractor. Doesn't seem to have any problem "plowing" through meat. :emoji_slight_smile:

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    I took your advice and drilled a hole for the probes. 1/2", so not too large.

    Featured SANTAROSANO CHORIZO (ST. ROSE SAUSAGE)

    Can someone point me to where I can get more information on "Smoking-Cold shower-Blooming"? Particularly the last two items? I did a search in SMF and it points back to this post primarily. Perhaps I'm not using the correct search terms. Thanks in advance.............

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    A question for everyone......Are you using the probes in the meat? or more for monitoring the ambient temperature inside the smoker? The model I have has two meat probes and one "BBQ probe", where hi/lo limits can be set. I have been using the meat probes to monitor ambient temperature inside...

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    Thanks...............I noticed the thermisters with with two different types of plugs ends. Going back to my old stereo days; one looks like a "stereo" plug (two black separators), and the other looks like a "mono" plug (one black separator). Thermoworks produces models for each type of plug...

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    The Fireboard plug looks the same as the plug on the probes with the Vauno. I may buy one just to try it.

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    I am running the probes through the top vent. I can drill holes. I'm just averse to drilling holes in a new smoker. :emoji_wink:

    Monitoring Temperature Inside the Smoker

    I purchased a Vauno EN2053-3 remote wireless BBQ and meat thermometer on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BXCGD76?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 I bought the thermometer to monitor the temperature inside the Smoke Vault smoker I have. It works fine, but the standard 40" cables are...

    Smoke Vault Lessons Learned

    The pictures below are where I settled for the probe placement for yesterdays smoke. Both are in a couple of inches from the edge of the shelf. There is a 15 degree variance front to back, with the front being the cooler side. I'm not sure if it's related to the door. I'll hang the probes off...

    Smoke Vault Lessons Learned

    Thanks for all the advice. SMF is an incredible resource. The ribs last night were good. not much of a smoke ring, but the flavor was there. Smoked with apple wood pellets and apple wood chunks. Pellets were mostly to get things going. The ribs were cooked 2-2-1 (actually 2, 2 1/2, 1/2). The...
