Hello to all and thank you for the great fellowship and information. I live at high altitude where it gets COLD - just bought a Masterbuilt 30" electric. Lots of fun so far, mostly experimenting with trout.

Cheers

, smoke83340. Glad to have you, hope you make it home for your Queing needs and info.

I have a question for you first, living in "Sun Valley" , don't you have trouble with Skiers when you smoke in the Winter

Seems a good Sammie would be very inviting to re-enegize a Skier. Just thinking...

.

Have fun and...

Howdy Smoke.....do drive a car with a 14 on it? I am sure you will have lots of fun with your new rig. I smoked fish for the first time last year. The next time I ran the smoker with some pork I could taste fish. Now that smoker is dedicated to fish only. Hope you don't have the same problem as I did.

Thanks for the thoughts HoTn. I have done some meat then fish but I'll be careful to see what the next meat is like. there are some interesting coffee/cocoa rub recipes and I want to try that on a tri-tip.

Not sure what you mean about a car with a 14 on it... I drive a cooper

I searched "fish smells" and there are several posts that indicate it is not a big problem...

Look into Todd's AMNPS , great device and would do your fish smoking very well , controlled flavor.

Also send some Q-view of your equipment and it's products.

I love smoked fish... send Q-view....

Welcome to the group. As a kid, I spent a few summers up there at "skating camp". Any extra time we had off the ice was spent on the river fishing and some folks that worked at the lodge would smoke up our catch. Great memories!!

Thanks Sounder it is a special place!

Smoke, evening..... The fish sure looks good....... When it gets cold, the MES doesn't like to work.... Keep a small electric heater handy or a hair dryer to heat up the 2 probes in the back.... Trick it into thinking it is warm outside and all will be OK..... That info will save you phone calls to Masterbuilt or posting "Why won't my MES work".... Just saying.... we have all been there.... Usually there is an EAAE or something like that error message on the display...... Dave

Hello and

to SMF - Glad to have you here

smoke83340 · Oct 15, 2012

Thanks Dave, so far my huge financial investment in this forum has paid back handsomely. Your information is most helpful.

Where are the probes? I was thinking of buying a cheap heating pad at WalMart so I could pre-heat the electrical box on top. Will that do it? Once the whole MES heats up generally, will it self-heat the device box?

Question:

If I find a cool informative post or recipe, how do I mark it so I can find it again?

thanks!

Hi Oldschool:

Okay I looked at the AMNPS but I couldn't see how it interacts with the MES - where and how and do I have to use dust or can I use chips or chunks with it?

thanks!!

Download Evernote - it is free and you can just copy what you want into your notebook. We have it on my two PC's, both of our iPhones and my wifes tablet. One account with one password for both of us to use. It makes a great shopping list too. It has check boxes so when you are at the store looking at it you can check off what you put in the basket.
