Thread: Sausage and Smoke Cooking

Trying a chuck roast. Rubbed it with mustard and salt and pepper.

Rain and sleet out today so a shed would be nice!

Going to have to go by sight and touch as my probe just alarmed at 181'f and that is about the smoker temp at the moment........

Only been in about .5 hour.

Tim
Is 181f warm enough to break down the collagen?

The plan is to try for 190'F or so.

My probe says 264 at the moment and the hand held says 135'f in the meat after an hour or so now.

Do you think I should go for 205?

I don't know about the final internal temp---but I would trust the hand held over the probe as it sounds much closer to what the actual internal temp is.

However for the short time cooking it still sounds rather high.

right now the gauge in the door shows 225' and that has read low since new. I figured then 25' low. So the remote now shows 270' which possibly in the temps at that point of the smoker but not the internal meat temp.

like having three watches, 2 of them will always be wrong!

I missed the decimal. Thought it was Five hours at 181.

.5 is easier to hit than 1/2..............

144'F internal with the hand held after about 2 hours.

Roy do the still have the sale on the remote ones you like?

Dinner will be late at least for me. 19:00 to 20:00 from the looks of it

No, not the dual remote, just some other items.

They do run the Smoke on sale pretty regular, I'll try to be sure to let you know via email the next time there's a sale.

By the way, I've had many a late supper in that time frame--

Tim; email was sent as promised.

I was looking at their site and a few of their models could also be used for a forge or heat treating oven!

With a different rated probe of course.
