    Thanks.  I'll have to try there.  I went to Costco this week to get some london broil to do some more jerky and they didn't have any.  Surprised me to say the least.

    Hey Vince..How did your BBQ class go?  I've been patiently waiting for your critique on the class. :)  I made some jerky the other day and need to make more...apparently they liked it and it didn't kill anyone.

    Going to try cold smoking belly bacon: suggestions

    Bear, I know this thread is several months old but I want to do bacon and cannot get my temps down low enough I do have an AMNPS to use and a domed grill that will house the smoke nicely. So I am planning a cold smoke.   After all my curing and resting in the fridge will it be safe to do an 18+...

    Almost ready to attempt jerky

    I am STILL having temp issues and have not been able to do the Jerky.  My Traeger doesn't go below about 230*.  I thought I could use the propane grill with one burner on it's lowest setting, but my temp test showed that it is up at the 215*-220* range in the cool of morning.  Since the recipe...

    First cheese is in the smoker!

    I got my AMNPS in the mail today!  I did the initial burn off of the oil per the instructions and had it loaded up and ready to go when the husband came home from work.  (He had hidden the nozzle for the blow torch...)  It's started up and smoking nicely.  I am only doing a small batch to see...

    Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smokehouse

    Thanks both of you.  Hmmm...build a smoke house huh??  I wonder if the husband will be receptive to the task... He did well when I wanted the chicken coop and run for fresh eggs.  He also did well when I wanted the in-ground fish pond in the back yard....  I am going to make him aware of all the...

    Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smokehouse

    I started out with a Traeger Junior Elite and It's proving to be a good little companion, but isn't up to some of the tasks I want to use it for.  I have been looking at the Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smokehouse to add to what may prove to be a growing arsenal of outdoor cooking devices.  My...

    First Fatty (w/ Q-View)

    MrGriz that is so true!  I made two fatties yesterday myself.  They are pretty quick, easy to change up and gives you some "together" time with your smoker.

    Cheese on a Traeger

    I thought I would put the Amazen in the old propane grill with one of the 4 burners on very low and if I can get the temp stabilized enough I will try doing my jerky.  These tests and note taking make me feel like a bit of a mad scientist...

    Almost ready to attempt jerky

    I'm going to run some tests and see if having one burner barely on will heat the big cavity up too high.  I feel like I'm back in school doing labs again.  It's making my brain hurt...LOL

    Cheese on a Traeger

    I have been reading posts about cheese and wanted to give it a whirl since I can't do my jerky till my A-Maze-N gets here next week.  Had to run a test on the Traeger to see how high the temp goes on the smoke only setting.  WAY too high!  200* and that is higher than the first temp setting on...

    Almost ready to attempt jerky

    Ok got it...take lots of detailed notes and keep the heat down.  That is as low as the traeger goes on heat but I'm going to go crank it on to smoke only and see what it heats up too.  I'm also waiting for my A-Maze-N to get here in 2 days to see how hot the old grill gets with it burning in...
