I need to replace this panel due to damge. Does anyone have any information if the new control panel i bought can be fitted? Or have i just ordered the wrong part. Any information would be great. Thanks

I know the SM066 has a hold feature BUT it is only for six hours, and I know that I can set the temp to 145 or 150 and walk away as well. I have been searching far and wide on the internet for holding oven ideas without dropping 4500 bucks on a real holding oven. My plan is to hold briskets at 150 degrees for at least 24 hours prior to serving. I am doing brisket over the Memorial Day weekend. In the spirit of American exceptionalism, I discovered a Canadian...

I verified the ambient temperature and replaced the probe and verified both of those so I don't believe that is the issue. Thoughts????? P.S. This scenario occurs regardless of higher or lower temperature set points. Thanks in advance.

The slices are about 1.5 inches thick and are pretty lean in appearance. I used half of them to cure for Lap Yuk (cured Cantonese belly, what I call "Chinese bacon"), but have a bunch left to smoke somehow. I found a recipe that wants 1/4 inch slices to smoke and then pan-fry to serve, but I'm looking for other options. Any ideas or recipes appreciated. Thanks much!

For example chicken is overcooked at 3 hours at 200 degrees as are ribs. Larger cuts like butts and brisket seem to cook too quickly. I have put 3 new thermostats from Cookshack on it with no change. Cooking low and slow is not possible. Is this right or am I missing something???

I have never used one. I would like to use it for a number of applications. Logging refrigerator and freezer and also my smoker and Big Green Egg. So, I’m thinking a temperature range of 25-850F or so. Oh, I’d also like to log my bread dough temperatures during fermentation. Is humidity a factor in purchasing the unit or probes? I would appreciate any advice and recommendations for purchase. Thanks Dan

I'm encouraging folks to try beef cheeks if they haven't already. I get mine from Sam's Club, where they come in a cryovac package of 5 - 6 lbs. I split the package in two and try to separate as much of the gristle, fat, and silverskin as I can before repackaging in foodsaver bags for later use. I usually end up with 2 - 3 lbs of cheeks (three or so cheeks per package). Freezing them trimmed makes it so much easier to use later. Today I started with a package...

My quick search says these are basically rib tips. Lots of grilling recipes but not much for smoking. Has anyone ever done these?
