Hi Mike Yes the freezer is probably 10 yrs plus maybe. Thanks for locating that info for me. Hopefully its not poly but up to 250f that's kinda ok. Like u say when does it start gassing off. Maybe ill drill holes on the outside so it Will give any gas somewhere to go and not into my sausages...lol. ...

Hi Mike Yeah mine is a double door unit http://www.restaurantsource.com/true-refrigerators-and-freezers--refrigeration/reach-in-refrigeration/2-section-reach-in-freezers/ProdDesc-T-49F-29156.aspx I was thinking I would need two elements, I have a 40 amp SSR too so thats great if you think that will ...

Mike What wattage element do u run in the smoker in the picture ? And is your unit insulated ? And square footage ? I ask because my freezer is 50 cf just trying to see what ill need to heat it. Not looking at high temps . Will be cold smoking and up to 250f. Mine has the factory insulation in it st...

Mike Thats better control than I have I think, with my controller. Eventually I will probably change out the plug and play with a PID. Although so far I havent had an issue with high humidity. Where I live its always rather dry. Ill start with the extraction fan on a timer and see how it goes. Thank...

Thanks Redzed, sounds like exactly what I was planning

Toby

Mike Great looking setup, yeah the baffles/drip tray is super important. The last thing we need is a grease fire in our smoker. So your extraction fan turns on when the RH is greater then your high end setting on the controller? I dont have that option on my plug and play so I was just going to have...

Awesome Rudy, Ill order some

Thanks
Toby

Mike I cant really say yet as Ive only used the 2m once and I didnt have the surface starter so I got a nasty green mould on my chorizo. Probably didnt help my sensor wasnt reading humidity properly, sent it back to Auberins they fixed it promptly.I ordered some supplies from stuffers yesterday, inc...

Great thanks alot Mike, that will be very helpful when I come to wiring mine.

Looks like a great setup

Toby

Mike Yeah I kinda wish I got the PID instead of the plug and play as I feel they are more easily customised. I got a cheap PID from china for my smoker tho, I think once I have experience wiring up that one I will probably replace the plug and play controller on my fridge. Yeah wiring schematics wou...

No I was kinda thinking their casings may be sub par, you know buy casings from a casing supplier...lol. I only got them cause I brought a grinder and stuffer so I figured Id throw some casings in the basket. My bad.

Ill give the peel-able casings a try for sure, thanks for your help Rudy

Toby

Thanks Rudy, and it only cost 15 bucks for materials

Toby

Hi Ida

They were the ones for fresh sausage, from cabelas. Yeah the sheep casings here are pricy too, but I think worth it if they make a better product. Do you find the snack stick holds together fine after you peel the cellulose casing off?

Thanks
Toby
