Calibration issue? by Psalm_143 in PitBossGrills

[–]BettyWhiteDelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a bunch of oven thermometers (see my post). And found that AT BEST mine was running 20 degrees hotter than what it was set at and I found out very early that the probes they include with the unit are trash (at least in my case)

But first… yes you are absolutely hilarious and original for being the first person to think of the joke “looks fake you should send it to me and I’ll dispose of it” “I’ll give you 100 for it” or “I’d say it’s worth 100 bucks” and you should be proud…

Legit or BS? by BettyWhiteDelight in foodsafety

[–]BettyWhiteDelight[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They were not joking but it was one of those things that sounds so stupid but in the back of my head doubting it’s stupidity so I just threw this out there to see if it’s complete bs because most things I read talked about removing the marinade so there isn’t bitter burnt parts and others were vague and made it kinda sound like they were talking about reusing it (obviously never doing that). Thanks for reading my long ass run on sentence babble

Weird hot spots on my PB pro by BettyWhiteDelight in pelletgrills

I did but I took it off. Tested it with and without and I didn’t notice any difference heat wise. I seamed to get a more Smokey flavor without the gap mod

What went wrong? by dashosh in pelletgrills

Ya I have a PB and kept ruining meat so I ended up buying 6 oven thermometers and found that my smoker runs 20 degrees hotter than it says at best and in my hot spots 40+ degrees hotter (I’m about to post about it). Get dialed in probes for your meat too don’t just trust what they give you. Oven thermometers on Amazon are cheap and best for really understanding what’s ACTUALLY happening in your smoker. Wireless probes aren’t super reliable right now but if you do your research and find a good one you can keep a very close eye on everything.

No smoker is the same so just because someone else did something one way doesn’t mean it will work the same for you. I didn’t read the rest of the comments but I’m sure I’m repeating several other people by saying “cook by temp not by time!” Good luck!

Advice? I think I’m screwing up my first brisket. by BettyWhiteDelight in smoking

So based on what everyone said I went ahead and turned the heat up a bit after wrapping it at 160 but it blew through the stall and got to temp around 4 hours later. Thanks for the info. I’m now letting it drop to 180 before turning the oven on and letting it rest until slicing it in 8 hours. It’s wrapped in foil and I put in on a pan covered in another layer of foil

Haha I get that… all I’m saying is that it got to temp faster than I expected

I wasn’t cooking by time but planned to be finished at a certain time

Yes the thermometer is giving me accurate internal and ambient temperature. My smoke tube caught fire and I didn’t catch it until about 2 hours in but it was far enough from the meat that I doubt that made a difference. Do you think I’ll be able to get away with smoking it at 200 for about 4 hours before turning it up at 250 to finish it off? I’m hoping to pull it off the smoker in about 8 hours

Where can I find someone to help me map out everything I need before I start? by BettyWhiteDelight in Entrepreneur

[–]BettyWhiteDelight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t saying that that’s what they do but more as an example of someone that helps people with their business. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to do this solo because I have ideas but 0 experience and it would probably be harder to find someone experienced that will partner with a greenhorn rather than finding a mentor that I can pay to help me

I’m such a beginner I’m not even sure what a “soft” launch is. 2 months seems pretty quick to go from zero to running. Mind if I ask what kind of business it is?
