So far so good, the outside temp climbed up to 99 degrees, the smoker is still keeping somewhat cold at 66 degrees. 11 more minutes and I'm home free!

I don't believe it. The stinking smoke Gods must be against me today. Another lousy power failure - less than 11 minutes and the power crapped out again. THANKS SRP!!!

Good thing it wasn't a refrigeration process.

I'll be pulling the cheese shortly.

Kevin, I'm beginning to think If it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have any luck.

You will probably be ok.

Hooray, Yippee, WaHooo, it's finally done, pulled out, vacuum sealed, labled, and stuck in the back of my refrigerator. I don't expect to eat it until at least November 2nd. Thanks for all the help everyone!!! (Except you SRP!!!!!!)

Waiting until the sun goes down might be a good idea. From what I remember about living there, this time of year it cools off pretty good at night. I've got the DBS to and plan on getting a couple of plugs to make up a longer sensor wire. Should make it a lot easier to use the cold smoke setup. Just smoked my first cheese yesterday so the waiting begins.  ::)
Are those plugs just any off the shelf type. I think I want to try something like that to make it easier in the future.

You should be able to get them at Radio Shack. I am just going to take my cord with me when I go and match it up, add some wire and should be good to go. Here's a link from the FAQ's. http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showpost.php?p=774&postcount=17

Here's a link to the plugs from Radio Shack. The plug dimentions are 5.5mm O.D.x2.1mm I.D.
It's refered to as a Type M, DC Plug.

Interesting, the part number on the website is 274-1569. I wonder if they recently changed it.

They might have Kevin. It's a pretty common DC power supply plug so they should have it.
