    Smoke house and shelter build

    Well, been using this for two years now. Still working great. Cranking out hot and cold smoke product as time allows. Ended up lining it with flashing after a small scare. Had my drip pans taking up too much area, all the heat from the burner was passing by the pans in one spot, started charing...

    Cold smoke roasted mixed nuts?

    Cold smoked them at about 70* for 4 hours. They had a hint of flavoring, not much more, but they were scarfed up at the xmas party and everybody loved them.

    Cold smoke roasted mixed nuts?

    Heard someone say to try smoking some mixed nuts. While rolling through Safeway I spy a container of roasted and salted mixed nuts thinking I'd throw them on the smoker and have some smoked nuts. Then I get home and start reading up on the subject and see that you generally use "raw" nuts with...

    MES issues

    Thanks fellas. It's funny, I unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple times, and the last time it seemed like that's when I finally got it to break the 200 mark. Figured it had to do with resetting something inside the unit, but what you all are saying sounds like the ticket.

    MES issues

    Planned on doing two 6lb brisket flats today in my 1 year old MES 30 w/mailbox mod. Ended up being a brutal day with the MES. Got up and started the preheat at 3:30am, problems right away, couldn't get it up to temp at all. Cabinet temp wouldn't break 180, had it set for 230. It was like...

    Two 6.5lb brisket flats in a MES????

    Brutal day with the MES. Got up and started the preheat at 3:30am, problems right away, couldn't get it up to temp at all. Cabinet temp wouldn't break 180, had it set for 230. It was like whatever relay that kicks the heating element on wasn't doing the kicking. Fired it up last night and ran it...

    Two 6.5lb brisket flats in a MES????

    I know I should know this but never did two brisket's at one time. Does the 1.5hr per lb rule still apply? It would still be 1.5hr per lb based off the individual weights, not total weight correct? Should still be about 9-10hr total at 225ish correct? Trying to decide if I'm doing overnight or...
