Thanks to everyone for the warm and encouraging welcomes and comments! I’m a little confused about the purpose of the different team colors. Is it just friendly rivalry?
marzig20 But at the end of the day, orange you glad you didn’t join team blue.

marzig20 Team Blue is definitely the way to go, after all nothing rhymes with Orange! Be True to Blue!

marzig20 that is for people that want to stay neutral. Basically team Switzerland…hahahaha!

marzig20 Team grey is for non conformist renegades , not pigeonholed into group think.
We came into being long after Orang and Blue began
We don’t often recruit and blow our own horns because we are…well… non conformist renegades! -

ND Mike Switzerland, I like that! Sit back, relax and rake it in from all sides

marzig20 I think the end to that is “but stupid”.

marzig20 More or less, but it indeed feels great to be certified Blue!

marzig20 Well, you have got to either be Hot or Cold, you cannot be Lukewarm.

marzig20 welcome aboard. I own a Rock River rifle, but not the 1911. Great weapons company. By the way PapaSop is one of the best people you will meet in our community, but he is color blind. He meant to tell you to add the Blue Team tag, not orange.
OMG. That got me chuckling for awhile. Well done.

ND Mike I have a new thermostat and probe coming that can be set to either heat or cool. It has a temp range between -40 to 240 degrees. I’ll mount the probe inside smoker and then plug duct fan into thermostat.
I’m hoping on the cool setting, I can set a temp for the duct fan to come on. So if the smoker thermostat is set at say 140 and the duct fan thermostat is at 140 it will come on and greatly reduce temp swings.
It was about $30, the duct fan was $25, and smoke tube was $10. All in for $65 with no permanent mods to smoker. This might work on any electric smoker. I’ll let you know the results after testing if you’re interested.

Sheesh if I knew it was Switzerland I would trade over in a minute because I’m sure they get discounts on the Swiss made watches

Well I jumped in and started asking questions immediately before finding this area. I want to thank those of you that already have answered questions! Sorry, I don’t know how to add your names to this post.
I’m from Silvis IL.
I was a retail meat cutter for Eagle Foods for thirty years. After they closed, I started working for Rock River Arms as a custom 1911 pistol smith for seventeen years and retired last year.
I’ve been smoking sausage on and off for the last twenty five years. I also smoke briskets and make Canadian bacon.
My current smoker is a small SmokinTex that I’ve modified to maintain consistent low temps while still producing smoke.
marzig20 Welcome to the family. We are all here learning to make a better product and expand our comfort zones and experiences.
