I love how ****akes gets cleaned up by the filter

Nice work Chris, I'm glad someone it getting some use out of that post. watch how you slice your under blade, you squared it up with the grain running diagonally. It's tricky like that as it comes out an odd shape relative to its grain pattern. You should be all right though. I was just...

Back to back soup! I've been doing a smoked mushroom soup for a while now. I got the recipe from a branch of my wife's family who are in Florida and frequent Disney. They are big fans of this soup and took us to Artist Point just to have us try it. Disney is cool with sharing recipes so our...

nice. looks like pretty lean belly?

I hang stuff all the time but I stack 2 18" wsms on top of one another so the fire is far from my meat. They don't seat too well on each other so it's kind of precarious. The part that's a real PITA is hanging the stuff on the grate before dropping it into the top wsm. You need a way to support...

so I should be fine wiring it: extension cord -> controller -> outlet -> humidifier

from the directions: "the load must not exceed the output contact capacity, or it might result in machine damage and cause a fire" the only listing for anything related to "output contact capacity" is" "relay contact point current: AC 5A/220V"

I usually use the recipe for the basic cure in "Charcuterie" and use it at 3.7%

when using belly for sausage, it's usually combined with loin. It's not as cheap as just using butts, but a more precise way to dial in the fat ratio

that was my guess. Differences in exposure to air.

hmmm, I wasn't expecting this can of worms. I guess if it doesn't work out long term, I'll only be out 30 bucks

from what I can see of the wiring diagram, it gets hard wired to a humidifier and a power cord, or wired, in line, with the humidifier's cord. The fact that it's digital, has variable histeresis, temp compensation, and considerably cheaper than the controller that is most often used makes up...

no reason why one can't use a little precaution in particularly dangerous situations. Crossing a street is dangerous, but that doesn't stop me from looking both ways first ;) If I recall correctly, she had the lid open the whole time. Her mistake was to not shut off the gas and wait. I'm not...

I looked up the manual and it looks like you have to hard wire the humidifier to it, but will work. Considering the price and I get to build it, I think I'm going to go for it. Especially, with your stamp of approval Geir.

I didn't notice that. It looks like they come 110 and 220 and I just picked the wrong link http://www.ebay.com/itm/110V-Digital-Air-Humidity-Control-Controller-WH8040-Range-1-99-RH-HM-40-Type-/130790445586?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e73b7d212

I'm in the process of setting up a chamber and I'm looking for the parts. I came across this unit and can't really figure out if it will be able to run a humidifier. It seems like it's pretty common, as I found lots of places that sell this unit. It's considerably cheaper than the dayton...

a cautionary tale for cold weather propane use this story is pretty incredible, and another good reason to cook over charcoal http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/01/us/hannah-storm-returns-after-injury/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

it doesn't really need to be dried in the fridge. You can just leave it out and let it air dry at room temp. Once it's sufficiently cured, it can be hung and dried slowly over weeks, so leaving it out for 12 hours won't hurt it. I've found that hanging cold belly in a cold smoker leads to...
