    first salmon run

    Hey folks, Did my first salmon smoke today. Brined overnight, dried for four hours, giving it a slight pellicle. Then it dry rubbed garlic salt, lemon pepper and a little added black peppe, and let that rest four 90 minutes. Smoked at 100 for 90 minutes, then 140 for 2 hrs, then 170 another...

    mes accuracy

    Well, I have neither the time, nor the ability to mess with the pid idea. Even so, I wouldn't mind doing it. but I think the maverick might just be better for where I'm at right now. Thanks guys. Any thoughts on which one? Also, is there one that has multiple probes? Oh, and...

    mes accuracy

    Hey guys, It's been a doozy of a year already. One of my projects this year will be to get my mes 30 se as accurate as possible and maybe get a mailbox mod. So, for my first goal, is it possible to replace the heat controls or thermometer /thermostat to improve the control on temp? What do...

    MES 30" Vent Adjustment

    I second this opinion, moses. Due to the heat of higher temp smokes I would go with double wall heater pipe. But I would put a cap on the top of the upturn and possibly a trap for moisture that makes it in. Maybe even screen then top under the cap to keep bugs out while not in use

    Ground Meat Jerky Question

    I usually lay my ground jerky straps angled at a 45 degree to the direction of the grate. If you put the jerky in the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes prior to smoking, they'll keep from being too 'loose' and falling through. It might add a few minutes to an hour to your drying time

    AMNPS question and some qview

    I have no personal experience with this, as I'm working on getting the stuff together to do the mailbox mod. However, from what I've been learning on this site, heating the mes can instigate the draft necessary to draw air into the mailbox. The other thing I have seen as a solution to this is...

    MES 30" Vent Adjustment

    I'm still learning here, so please bear with me. However, I know that the damper can be used to regulate Temps and draft, but I thought you can use it to control smoke thickness inside the mes. Is this not accurate? I usually try for a heavier smoke flavor profile as that suits my family's...

    Newbie Question - Water Pan MES 40

    Do you just keep it filled with sand and replace the foil? I've just filled it with water. I know masterbuilt suggests it helps with moisture of the meat as well. Not sure about that one though.

    hamburger jerky mes style

    So I decided to try my hand at hamburger jerky because my stepson and I like Jack links jerky. I used the recipe from masterbuilt's site and smoked with mesquite for 5 hours at 140. I had difficulty keeping the tbs going. So I would turn the temp up, get the smoke going and turn it back down...
