    Brickoven wings

    Awesome setup!  Did you build the cabinets and counter tops?  I would love to do something similar in my yard.  Not necessarily the brick oven, but the storage and counter tops for outdoor cooking.  Any hints?

    MES smoker and Hi Mountain jerky seasoning

    I recently made jerky using the High Mountain cure in my MES and A MAZEN SMOKER.  I did not use the 200 degree temp suggested as I only want to dry the meat, not cook it.  8 hours at 160 degrees gave me great jerky.  I let it sit out on cooling racks for about 2 hours after pulling from smoker...

    Q-view of my first fatty...........

    Nice looking weave on that fattie!  If it tasted half as good as it looks, you had one good eating fattie.  Keep 'em coming!

    MES + A MAZEN SMOKER = Great Jerky!

    Didn't think about that Scarbelly!  Well everyone loved the jerky and I came out looking good for it.  By the time I thought about pictures in the baggies, these guys (and kids) ate it all up!  Like I said, MES + AMAZEN SMOKER = GREAT JERKY!

    How often to you have to load a MBS with wood?

    A few comparisons, if I may.  I own a 30" MES (Masterbuilt) and looked at the Bradley when buying my MES.  With the MES, you can use generic chips or small chunks for the smoke.  Yes, they only last for about 35 to 40 minutes, but the chips are relatively cheap.  With the Bradley, you have to...

    MES + A MAZEN SMOKER = Great Jerky!

    I used a sirloin tip roast, trimmed of all fat and sinew.  I'm not real clean with a knife, but that took my 8.8 lb roast down to 7 lbs.  I used the High Mountain Jerky cure from Gander Mountain.  7 hours at 170 for first batch and 8 hours at 160 for second batch.  Very good, if I may say so myself.
