    Adding Temp Control to old MES40 - Question

    @pi guy I am going to throw something out there that may be a little unconventional. I too have a MES 40" that I removed the controller on. I follwed the instructions described above. I started with an Auber SYL-3615, which is a BBQ Fan controller. Except instead of a fan I had it control a...

    Syracuse Casings and Customer Service

    I just ordered a hank of sheep casings from them last Thursday. Do you know if they provide you with a shipping confirmation? I have an order confirmation. They ask not to contact them about shipping status until after 5 business days pass. If they have shipped I just want to keep an eye out...

    How to link sausage in a "C": C-link?

    I could see that working! As I researched "bubble knots" and hog rings I came across several threads about using small "zip ties". I think that has merit too. Above I mentioned half my problem was my knot knowledge and the other half would be dealing with my essential tremors in my hands...

    Team- I have been struggling with linking my sausage in a traditional C-link style. Is there a simple straightforward approach for this? I have difficulty tying off the ends of sausage so I am wondering if there was a technique that minimizes this. I have attached a photo of the end result I...

    Turkey Skin Gets Too Dark When Smoking

    On my Weber kettle I use aluminum foil to keep it getting too dark. This is particularly helpful on the wing tips.

    Smoked Sausage, Finally.

    @mr_whipple That fan set up is pure genius. I have been thinking of a fan for my MES40 and that should work great. Would you mind posing some photos especially how the "Y" connects to the smoker and fan. That looks pretty slick!

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    I found 77304 had baby back's for $1.79. And 23322 had chuck roast for $4.49 and pork loin for $1.79. I suspect it will be regional but thought I would throw it out there. One could always hope they will go back to the old ways.

    Happy smoker! New Yoder YS640S

    I've had mine since 2014 and love it. Over the years I have had to replace a few thermocouples and touched up some areas with Yoder's paint. I upgraded to the expanded metal grates and believe they are worth while. You will be very happy with it.
