Had the first cook today with the Smoke digital, and it was flawless! I always want a longer connectivity range, but it did well. If I could change anything about the thermometer, is that I would prefer the meat probe to be straight, rather than L-shaped. I ripped the rubber grommet that I had placed in the hole where the probe wires feed into the smoker. Not much smoke comes out of that hole, but I put my hands in the pocket of my sweatshirt, standing there wondering if I had a replacement, and I had a couple earplugs from work in there. The earplugs are the type you squish, and then put in your ear canal. Well, the bell went off in my head, and sure enough, I squished an earplug, and stuffed it into the hole. The earplug expanded, and filled the hole like a dream! It fills the hole, and keeps the probe cables from moving anywhere while I fidget with the smoker. I can honestly say, I never thought I would Google: "What is the melting point of earplugs?" Well, at 350F, it was still just fine.
Oh, by the way, I was cooking up the wet-cure ham from Meatheads recipe. It turned out super, but a tad salty for my liking. The cut of meat wasn't a ham. I used a large pork-butt. The recipe is not in error, I altered the meat cut, and the thickness wasn't a large as a ham cut. I will soak in water the night before and it will be superb! I'm going to try to put up a pic, but I haven't had much luck doing that.
Sorry, I'm still trying to find a fix for this: Image upload failed because the extension of this file did not match the content.
The ham pic died a horrible data corrupting death.
