    Penzeys Bratwurst Blend - Has anyone reversed engineered the blend?

    I very much like Penzeys Bratwurst Sausage blend, but I would like to make it from scratch so I can reduce the salt.  Has anyone determined the amounts of salt, white pepper, mustard, nutmeg and onion that is used in the blend?  Thanks!

    I Need A BBQ Restaurant Recommendation For The Dallas-Ft. Worth Area

    I made it to Lockhart's.  It was pretty good and the leftover brisket was pretty good the next day between some of the bread you get with the meal.  Thanks for everyone's help with this.  Now I know what Texas BBQ brisket is supposed to be like.  I will try it their way next time.  I usually...

    Any Problems Freezing Sausage with Sage?

    I just smoked 10 lbs of Smoked Venison Breakfast Sausage that was on page 299 of Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing, by Rytek Kutas.  There is a note with this recipe indicating that it is better to omit sage from the sausage as it makes the meat bitter when stored for long periods of time...

    First Time Smoking with MES 30" -- Few Questions

    Thanks everyone for the last minute assist with my pork Butt yesterday.  It turned out very well.  The water pan did not overfill and some non-greasy fluid drained out the back into the drain pain.  The dual probe wireless thermomenter is a great tool and appears to be a "must have" for smoking...

    Thanks for responding to my questions.  It sounds like I am on the right track, though I did put a cup of water in the pan.  It was not obviously described in the MES instructions as to when to add water.   Interestingly, after about 30 minutes in the smoker, the wireless probe on the rack...

    MES control panel problems

    This was an old thread from 2009.  If folks are having problems with their controller, they might want to start a fresh thread that would focus on the newer MES 30 smokers.

    Hello From Northern Virginia

    I just picked up my MES 30 at Tractor Supply today for about $129 and am looking forward to using it soon. I ordered a cover and some chips.  Anything else I need to get started?  Do you need a rib rack to do ribs?
