I can’t see any reason why I personally would ever need a smokehouse that can handle 100 lbs of summer sausage. I would be interested in a smaller one for around $1200 to $1400 anyone else?

I have the 2 basket niinja air frryer it will cook at 2 different times and temps and will finish the same time

I’ve been looking at that one. Is it easy to clean?

kyle that sounds a good idea.

I was flying commercial one time and the passenger next to me before take off had a big three ring binder that he was intently looking through. I noticed it was an aircraft manual. I struck up a conversation with him and he explained that he was a pilot deadheading to get to his next flight.

Once our plane started rolling for take off his demeanor changed and I could tell he was a little tense. Once the plane gained altitude and leveled off he relaxed. I asked him, “You don’t like being back here do you?” He smiled and told me that he was much more comfortable when he was the one flying the plane.

Chef Good news indeed, thanks for the update!

My dad made divinity every Christmas. Half of it he put in black walnuts which no one else could stand. That way he always had more than enough for himself!

ND Mike Congrats!

There are so many options with rotisseries, convection etc. kinda blows my mind. I guess my main concern is the clean-up. Years ago I bought one of those George Foreman grills and only used it a couple of times because how hard it was to clean and sold it at a garage sale.

Any comments, pros and cons, recommendations for a small air fryer for a single person.

RafterW can’t wait to see and follow!

marzig20 As much as the “current” mentality tries to squelch what “momma said” decades ago, they can’t erase good old common sense.

Very true! Unfortunately common sense doesn’t seem to be so common anymore.

I personally don’t care for the vinegar smell and taste when frying and eating it.

Thanks!

I’ve been checking out the Auber website. They have two PID controllers with programmable temp steps. The more expensive one has a USB connection so you can program steps with a laptop and save different programs.

Both of them offer an option for a self contained 10 amp/1200 watt relay which should be adequate for my 700 watt element. What type of sensor would you recommend? They have a 4 inch K that is recommended for smoker ovens.

Very interesting and informative. I don’t know why I didn’t pay more attention to this thread before. I guess my enthusiasm runs at a much faster pace than my patience and common sense. Thank you!

I bought it from Amazon because I could get it quick and it was a complete unit already wired. I’m going to return it for a refund and UPS will pick it up Monday. I was a little surprised when I unpacked it by the GFCI on the power cord plug. I suppose this is to try to limit their liability.

Looks like I’m going to start from scratch now and assemble my own. Any suggestions on a particular brand and what additional components I’ll need? I’m thinking I’ll need some type of project box, a ssr relay, a sensor and a power cord. I don’t want to disconnect the plug on the smoker to wire it. I want to be able to plug the smoker into the box so that I can bring the controller inside when not in use. The smoker stays outside on my deck with a cover on it.

processhead GFCI won’t reset without anything plugged into the controller. There’s a fuse in the controller and I checked the continuity and it’s fine. Looks like I’ll have to send it back.

processhead thank you. Trouble now is that the power cord has a GFCI and today it won’t reset.
