    Beech for smoking ?

    Beech is the preferred wood used in Germany to smoke Black Forest hams and bacon. Nice and mild.

    Cleaning Injector

    In a pinch you can use an old toothbrush. Works like a charm.

    MES not enough smoke - have the AMNPS

    Another area to check is your pellets. Did you switch brands recently? Some pellets aren't 100% pure wood. They will use a low flavor wood for the bulk and add some oak wood to give it some flavor or use wood flavorings added to the mix in order to cut costs. Read the label carefully. If it says...

    Oregon Scientific Bluetooth Therm on Woot for $14!

    Thanks for posting this 3montes. I ordered it and ran it with a pork tenderloin. It worked very well. I set it to pork, medium rare (choices are in the built in menu) and synced it to my Ipad. The Ipad showed the rising temps and changed colors as it got closer to the idea temp (140F). You...

    BACON-ON-A-STICK (Step By Step)

    Having tried a few of Bear's step by step recipes and succeeding I thought it was time to try the bacon on a stick recipe. The reviews were great. One person even said his wife called them the best ribs he'd ever made. Well, what do I have to lose? So I followed the directions (perfect, by the...

    Garlic dill pickles UPDATE! READY TO EAT IN 3 DAYS WITH VAC CANISTER

    Dave, Any chance of a description of the procedure?  I have the vac sealer and canister. Do you put the pickles and solution in the canister, place it under vacuum and leave it like that or do you vacuum, release pressure and repeat like for marinating?? Thanks for any tips.

    MES 30 Side Shelf

    It works on the MES 40 also. I have the 40 with the side vent and the table attached on that side. It works well whether the table is up or folded down. Mine gets a lot of use.

    MES cold smoke option

    I've used the tube mounted through the chip port for cold smoking and it worked quite well. However, don't use it with the heat turned on as it sits right above the heater coil and WILL burn much faster/catch on fire. Ask me how I know  ;-)

    German Jagerwurst (completed)

    Looking good BlueBombersfan. Got a question. Did you make it without any beef?  Didn't see it in your description. Len Poli (see his website) has a great recipe that is close enough to the traditional German recipe. You might be surprised at the difference. Keep going. This one is impressive.
