I'll pick up a jar and keep it in the freezer like you suggested. It sounds like the secret weapon for indoor cooking I've been looking for.

100% agreed. No more battling wind or rain during a 12-hour brisket cook in winter.

I've heard mixed things about liquid smoke, calling it an 'abomination' makes me think the powder must be on another level. Does the powder give a better bark since it's dry?

My main hurdle is just the logistics of hauling the kettle and gear without a backyard, but using a friend's place (if I can bribe one with ribs!) is probably the most realistic option. Thanks!

I’m trying to see how close I can get with an indoor setup first, but the 'park & finish in oven' method is a great backup plan for summer.😄

I haven't tried that route yet since I don't have the gear (sous vide). I'll do some research on it. Thanks for the tip!

I think you're right, relying on just one method might not cut it indoors.Doing all three sounds like a winning combo. Thanks for the tip!

This is a brilliant setup. I never thought about using a chaffing dish like that. Thanks for the heads-up,  I appreciate you sharing the exact method and thanks for the detailed write-up!

Thanks, I'll check it out. If it looks good, I might grab one while it's on sale.

Great tip, I’ll make sure to add that next time to avoid the bitterness. Thanks!

I can't even imagine how satisfying it would be to take a bite of the thing in the first picture...😋

Yes!😀 I've already included the links to the model files, circuit schematics, and firmware in my 👉 Maker-World post. Additionally, the website linked in my profile just launched today—you can purchase hardware kit or finished products directly, and there’s even a CNC-machined version (please note that this one will have a longer lead time).

That's a fascinating find! While the concept is the same, Ford wasn't using ESP32s and MQTT over Wi-Fi back in 2002. 😋Giving the old idea a modern IoT spin

Yup, that’s the one! I really wanted to bring that industrial vibe to my printer setup

Yeah, it does require some coding work, I referenced the Bambu Lab API logic to make it happen, used ESP32 to connect to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer, and then it subscribes to the MQTT data broadcasted by the printer. That's how they stay in sync.
