Hey folks, I've had a MES for four years now, and I've been very happy with my unit.  A couple of weeks ago, during an overnight smoke on some pork butts, it decided to die on me.  The digital display was still on, but instead of keeping the unit at 225, it was reading 78 or so.  I just assumed...

Thanks folks, that's what I needed to know. Greg

Hey folks, need some advice here. In short, I'm having a new deck built this summer, and I'd like to put a "real" smoker out there. I have a MES that I do really enjoy using, and I also have a proprane grill that I've cooked on for years, but I'd kind of like to venture into the realm of...

Dutch, Thanks for sharing this recipe. I made it for the first time yesterday with some Cornish game hens that I smoked...these were easily the best baked beans I have ever eaten. Thanks a ton. Greg

Hey folks, What do you all like for veggie side dishes, either smoked or not smoked? Any favorites? Greg PS More of the white stuff is falling in NW Iowa

Wow, cowgirl, thanks for the repost! Greg

Hello all, Great site here...tons of good info. I smoked the bacon/swiss/mushroom meatloaf over the weekend...turned out awesome! Thanks for the sticky! To the point of this thread...how do you all smoke your Cornish game hens. I've got six hens slowly thawing in the fridge for next weekend...

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll try the apple. Greg

Hey all, I've got some goose breasts sliced up and marinating, and I'd like to smoke them to make some jerky. I've always done my jerky (duck, goose, deer, beef) in the oven...not quite sure about using the smoker. I've got a Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse, and was planning to lay the strips...

Hello all, I was hoping I could get some advice from you all. I'm going to smoke a pork butt for the first time this Saturday...I purchased a Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse last weekend. My question is, how do you know when to add more wood chips? Do you wait until the chips in the tray are...

Thanks folks for all the help. I just placed the meatloaf in a bread pan thing my wife had laying around. It turned out well; everyone had a second helping. Greg

Well folks, I smoked my first food today, a batch of meatloaf. I used the recipe supplied somewhere on this site, and it didn't turn out too bad. I have a Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse, and I smoked the meatloaf with some hickory for 3.5 hours at 250. The meat had a good flavor, and it was...

I've got a newbie meatloaf question for everyone. I just bought an electric smoker yesterday, and I'd like to make meatloaf as my first ever smoked feast. My question is, how should I place the meatloaf in the smoker? Should I place it on a cookie sheet, on aluminum foil, or directly on the...

Hello folks, My name is Greg, and I live in NW Iowa. I just purchased a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker today, along with some Bradley bisquettes and a Bradley cookbook. I've never smoked anything before, so I'm here to learn. You all have a wonderful site here. I have a beautiful wife, two...
