zbigjeff you are correct, its in Kidron. It is awesome to visit, but evertime we go, we seem to buy something. My biggest problem in going to Amish Country is that my bathroom scale malfunctions everytime we go and says I’m 5 to 10 pounds heavier than I should be.

GWG8541 Uh OH!! Maybe someone better start a nationwide program that’s REAL. I know: It’s global warming that’s forcing them NORTH. OK people: Only kidding.

Jonathon I often follow rabbit trails in life, and Meatgistics is no different. Since I’ve only been around about a year and 1/2, I often research older post, but more for specific items, not just winding through the forest. But who knows just what I would discover with a “spin the wheel” option.

cdavis wow, he’s a nice looking buck. Good luck with taking that big boy.

zbigjeff it could be if its big enough.

RafterW It is hard to explain, but the property the Grand was done on, was Dayton Airport property, which is annexed land north of the city of Dayton in a town called Vandalia. Well the city in its infinite wisdom started passing anti gun laws, so they moved west to Sparta, Ill in 2005. They official reason given was for expansion of the airport. Nothing like government bureaucracy to ruin a good thing. It was in Dayton from 1924 to 2005.

processhead How in the devil did you come across that beautiful piece of furniture?

That’s an interesting story. A guy had the blanket warmer and a big commercial refrigerator listed for sale on Craig’s List. He was experimenting with building meat smokers too and lost interest after scorching the vinyl siding off part of his house with one of his “projects”. I suspect his wife might have had something to do with his loss of interest.

I bought both the warmer and the refrigerator and hauled them home.

The blanket warmer became my sausage and cured meat smoker. The refrigerator needed some reassembly and repair work, but all the parts where there. It’s big enough to hold a 3 cut up deer so its pretty handy to have around and stays at our deer camp.

Thanks for the hat Austin my grandson put it right on he says he is a sausage maker now I will try for a pitcure next time he is over

IndianaJohn I went to Menards and got steel rods. Then I seasoned them in smoker. I cut them so they slide right into the rack slots then I either use S hooks or I hand over the rods.

cdavis I try to check mine about every other week and usually find a couple I’ve accidently down voted.

Dave R Look at Auber WiFi PID controller. It works awesome with Masterbuilt. It requires a modification to The masterbuilt mine was a single jumper wire to bypass the built in controller. For making summer sausage and snack sticks it is great because you can program the steps in. You can have up to 6 programmed steps set up. Those steps can be defined by time at a certain temperature, or temperature of meat or a combination of both. It’s $225 so worth it though especially for snack sticks that need a more precise temp. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=702

For the Masterbuilt look at getting a Auber Wifi PID controller, it works awesome, very accurate and stable temps. Also look at getting a cold smoke attachement, much better smoke for hot smoking plus added benefit of being able to cold smoke. Electrics are notorious for having trouble producing smoke at lower temps. A alternative to cold smoke attachment would be to make a Mailbox mod for the smoker. It does the same thing.

I also have the Auber WiFi PID controller. It has an easy mod to use it. It is basically one jumper wire for mine. My Masterbuilt was also having the crazy temp swings and inaccurate temps. I contacted Masterbuilt and they finally sent me a new controller, but I decided to go with the PID controller instead. The great thing about the Auber WiFi PID controller is it doesn’t have to be used only for a single smoker or unit. It can control other things also. Well worth the investment.

KillerNoms I have the MB40 also with the Auber PID WiFi controller. It works awesome. I thought about the fan also. Do you have pics of your fan inside the MB40?

I put in an order yesterday morning, I am excited to get the email tomorrow of order fulfilled. I got some rubs, seasonings and the long sleeve tshirt.

processhead I have been eyeing up a few food warming cases for a possible winter project. Unfortunately not quite as cheap as Chef has found them. I think I will need to look in larger metro areas, I have time.

gus4416 said in Beyond Meat drops three points overnight:

It just should not have meat anywhere on the package

Then it won’t make the people who choose not to eat meat feel like they are eating meat. I get that there are some people who have physical issues eating meat. It’s the ones who are virtue signaling who think they are doing it for the greater good who I don’t understand why they want everything they eat want it to mimic meat as much as possible.

Tex_77 Thanks, Might need to label it with a revision number. LOL

Pivodog thank you!!
