    Breaking in the new MES30 and AMNPS!

    Uh oh, trouble! :) It would seem that things got a bit too hot for a while during the first couple hours. I went outside maybe half way through and notice the smoker was at almost 260 degrees. I think I was the victim of two things...a black smoker coming temp just as the hot California sun...

    Coffee Roasters

    I've had it for about a year and a half. I'm roasting once or twice a week, with no problems at all. One common 'complaint' about the Behmor is that it may not get you to really dark roasts. I've found that I can get plenty of flexibility and as dark as I want by stopping the cycle 3 minutes in...

    Breaking in the new MES30 and AMNPS!

    I really geek out on natural foods, so I'm one of those weird people who has removed his front lawn in order to plant a vegetable garden. We're picking about 30 pounds of pesticide free heirloom tomatoes per week right now, WAY too many. That's about 1/3 of yesterdays picls, the rest went with...

They have a little store on site that sells various cuts. Great pork products for anyone in the area that wants particular cuts or a whole hogs. They...

    Breaking in the new MES30 and AMNPS!

    Good morning everyone! I'm just about to fire up my new MES and smoke a rack of spare ribs that I picked up a few days ago when I ordered my smoker. I did the 'seasoning' process on the smoker, and the AMNPS per the directions yesterday. I'm really looking forward to climbing this learning...

    Coffee Roasters

    Coffee roasting is such a rewarding hobby! I've been doing it for 5 or 6 years now. I started with an iRoast that lasted a couple years before one plastic piece broke, no replacements available. Replaced that with a Behmor drum roaster that I just love! Morning cup comes from the cheapest...

    Hello!

    I stumbled on this forum just a few days ago, and since it inspired me to gear up for some smoking I thought I would introduce myself and participate. I'm Nate, from the Modesto area of Northern California. When it comes to food, I'm always looking for another experiment or project so I have a...
