Diggerg Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I have to say I was very impressed with the Tel tru thermometer. I set the pid to 150C and it was bang on 300f. Edited August 3, 2019 by Diggerg Pics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerg Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Flashed up at 60f this morning. Took 45 mins to reach 250f with the pid. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerg Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Damn. After an hour wrapped and 20 mins sauce setting they were amazing. My work mate scoffed his rack and half in record time. Well pleased with how they turned out.

A stumps with my paint and the Slam latch is $4900 PLUS shipping and tax. So that's about 4k plus shipping. I'm pleased with the saving but more pleased with accomplishment of building it myself. The smell of the ribs today made it worth the wait. 😋😋😋😏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
