DBS Temp Swing Test

West Coast Kansan · February 19, 2007, 09:07:52 PM

I think they were / are the same wattage. Difference was metalized or glass ??? Need a hero with history here. The 4R does have somewhat less volume to heat than a 6 rack but I like the spreads you lay out with your 6R DBS Gizmo. Whoping Gobs of Food :o

Habanero Smoker if I understand you, Is it possible the Propane version could create the smoke ring effect?

Though I believe the article I read was referring to natural gas; propane is an organic fuel. It should produce a pink ring.

WOWZA... uber-helpful info from everyone. Special props to West Coast Kansan. Thx. :)
BTW... the DBS I'm looking at is the 4-rack one so it should get up to the same temps as the OBS (I would think). For the $30.00 diff. I think I'll go with the digital (retail $399.00 Canadian @ Surplus Herby's , which seems pretty good compared to what I've been seeing elsewhere).
Glad I found this place... helpful people talking about their pits. I do believe I've got me a new home...

Silver,
IMHO its not about the purity anymore

I know but... :( ... c'mon...

There is something about the esthetic and purity. It's almost a piece of lawn art too! *Sigh* Gonna miss it.

Thats why they invented Pictures> Cherish the memories Silver. I guess you could hang onto it like an antique and pay it attention when the heart grows fonder. ;)

I still have my Meco charcoal water smoker, and use it from time to time. It produces a different flavor. Some times I miss the flavor of charcoal, and using peach wood to smoke with.

Wildcat · February 23, 2007, 04:11:43 AM

Peach wood! I have never tried that - hey Chez think you could talk Bradley in producing some? ::) ;D

With the Weber "Darth R2D2" style water smoker, I used to smoke with almond wood quite a bit with good results. Never tried peach though.

I thought the pecan bisquettes would be similar to almond, but not so. Still turns out a good meal though.

Wildcat · February 23, 2007, 12:28:48 PM

Hmmmm. Almond sounds good also. ::)

I did send Bradley an e-mail suggesting that they make bisquettes out of peach wood, but they politely responded that they have no plans to do so. :)

What Icerat said Plus build a PID

PID? Okay, now I know I must be a noob. What is a PID? How does one 'build one'?
Cheers,
Silver

Well, depending upon a number of factors, the PID is either a:

Pig Indicating Device, or a
Porter Indicating Device, or a
Proportional, Integral, Derivative closed-loop controller

Depends on whether you are shopping, drinking, or controlling..... 8)
