Geir, The thermostats in most of our refrigerators are very inaccurate and more importantly don't allow for the warmer settings (10-15 c) desired for curing. Also, by using the external thermostat you can use a freezer (upright or chest) that might be even more efficient then just a regular...

Not fancy but works well and is basically plug and play. I like your choice better since it's blue... I bought this one and wired it up. Any idea what humidifier your going to go with? One suggestion is to only use "distilled" (not just "bottled") water in it. In my case my well water will...

No can of worms... Just different approaches and all good info. You should be fine with what you have in mind although I will inquire again; what are planning on doing about controlling temp?

Good link. Just switching a low wattage humidifier, I'd probably give the controllers relay a chance: It's not a situation where its making a lot of cycles that often. If it burns out I'd replace the controller... The SSR, enclosure, etc. would probably end up costing more then the controller...

As long as it's one of the smaller ultrasonic humidifiers there shouldn't be any issues. The built in relay on the one Jeff is looking at is rated at 5 AMP/120VAC. That's 600 watts. You certainly could go the SSR route. However, because this controller only has a relay (mechanical) output and...

Small computer fan plus small humidifier still not an issue. I would definitely fashion an enclosure of sorts incorporating the plug. What are you planning for temp. control? I'm considering this as it allows for both. In addition the relays are rated as 10AMP/250VAC which would translate to...

The relay is rated 5 amps so you should be fine with a small ultrasonic type humidifier.

Yeah, even after my neighbor finished snow blowing I still had an hour and half of "global warming" cleanup!

"Or will Weber sell me new covers?" Jim, if it comes to that they do sell them. You need to drill out the rivet and the new ones install with a bolt. I just bent one in half taking the frozen cover off the smoker! :mad:

"The rest of the lobster went into various things." Unfortunately one of those wasn't my tummy! The butter sauce sounds fantastic.

If you have a butcher that makes their own sausage or bacon I'd see if they would be willing to sell you some... otherwise here but I'd be sure to browse the site for some additional items to make the shipping cost a bit better.

JMO/ Keep the skin on for cooking. Place your seasoning under the skin. If your so opposed to the skin: remove after cooking.

That's some nice looking soup!

Nice looking Canadian Bacon!

Ray, Glad to hear it worked out! I'm sure you can source local (enough) to not deal with the shipping. Bet it was nice to have a turkey that actually tasted like turkey!

John, I've been about three months without CB and your post is the perfect KITA I need! Thanks!

"Maby presmoke em." That's what I would try. Real low for maybe 30-40 min. and into the bags. Your not going to need a lot of smoke since the flavor is going to intensify.

Rick... Looking forward to your results.

That is some great looking turkey.

Great job Gil! I love Lamb Shoulder! Wish I could find it a bit easier.
