    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    I put a Masterbuilt electric cold smoker on my MES 30 and love it.  Cold smoke as long as I want then fire up the heater to cook it if I want.  Great for Cheese.

    Chicken Thighs (MES 40 Smoked)

    I like smoked chicken, and the Thighs are the best.  However, I must be doing something wrong because when I do them in my MES 30 at 275 deg, (inside at 170 deg.) the skin is a little like rubber.  So I have been smoking them for 30-45 minutes then putting them on the grill offset from heat at...

    Cover for MES 30 with attached MB Cold Smoker Kit

    Fire died while smoking a butt!

    I smoked a 20 lb ham cut in half yesterday during the day. I had two dogs that I had never seen prior come into my yard and walk near my smoker. Guess it must have smelled good. I am betting you have a coon problem and they are moving the vent to try to get to the meat (or the smell). But...

    Adding Charcoal in the Wood Pan

    I have to say, I am very green at smoking, and this thread got me thinking.  I have no put raw briquets onto my existing coal in the past, I don't do it when I am cooking out, but did not know why, interesting.  I use coal to get things going then use apple or cherry wood for smoke then heat. ...
