The Kruger Safety Compilation v0.1

Shawn W · Nov 20, 2008

Here is something I've had in mind for a while and made the time to do today. Kevin has spent so much time giving detailed expert advice on safety, it's a shame when I forget or want to look something up and can't find it. So I took the liberty of compiling a great many of Kevin's safety related posts into one thread of links.

I attempted to organize it some fashion, but pls consider it a work in progress. I can't spend any more time on it today but it seems like a good place to stop and ask for feedback. I do intend on putting a little more detail on the links, but I want to encourage users to read the whole thread the links take them to in order to avoid 'out of context issues' so I thought to use thread, not post links (but have used post links where the thread is staggeringly long).

It's hoped this will be a resource we can all use and point new members to so please provide your constructive feedback on any aspect from content, organization, usefulness and so on and I'll go from there for a v0.2 if it's wanted.

I'd hate to see Kevin get frustrated from writing out the same old answers when we can try to recycle, besides I'd rather he spent time creating new BBQ recipes and helping <STRIKE>me</STRIKE> us improve our recipes and techniques.

PS: I didn't run this by Chris, (I hope you don't mind the TVWBB in the title ... it's kind of a concept for your approval). It's just hard to find some of these things when you are looking for them, new people don't know what to look for and, well, I'll raise my hand to being lazy sometimes and asking instead of searching ... I would hope something like this gets used so less redundant threads, posts get created in the first place.

Edit: took the TVWBB out of the title, it's a fan thread

Excellent compendium. A great place to start educating yourself about food safety and sanitation. It is amazing how much that we "know" about food safety isn't. This TVWB has really opened my eyes on how to do things correctly.

Steve Petrone · Nov 22, 2008

Thank you Shawn, I'll start another thread to not high jack 'safety'.

See Krugerrand in 'Just Conversation'.

JRPfeff · Nov 22, 2008

Great idea Shawn. Thank you for all your work.

Steve - What other "Compilations" do you have in mind? A "best of" selection of links would be nice to have here.

This is so helpful!!
Thank you!!!

Shawn W · Nov 22, 2008

It was my pleasure, thanks really to Kevin for all his contributions!

If you run across a safety thread from any author that you think would be a good inclusion to the list please post it here and I'll add it to the top.

Brad Marsh · Nov 27, 2008

Phenomenal!

Any way to make this a sticky that stays at the top of one of the forums? That way it never gets lost.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Larry B-
You wrote a post awhile back that you love your Maverick ET-73. Do you still love it? Could you go to bed and have no problem with it letting you know if you have trouble at the smoker? I want to get one for my husband for Christmas. However, we have a Traeger, electric, digital temp smoker. Temp inside the chamber is not so important to us. However, can you plug in a second food probe to that connection that would normally take the grill probe?

Jeff Day · Dec 8, 2008

Claire,

I think I understand the question and yes, the second probe can be used as either a food probe or grate/grill probe.

You could run one probe on the grate and one in the food or both in food.(while I don't have that specific model..i have a single prob maverick), I believe you can set up alarm notices on either probe.

Great job on putting this all together. Sticky?
