    Stuffer Tube Cleaning

    I have a big rubber tipped blowgun with 120 PSI behind it and the little turd makes a patty into the frying pan while I'm washing everything up.

    Meat Grinder

    I have the 1 HP Cabelas grinder and bought a foot control which enables me to do it by myself easily. Never been dissappointed yet with the grinder after 3 years and multiple deer ground.

    Water PAN Yes Or No?

    jalapeno ratio for summer sausage

    I vac packed then froze them and have been using 10% with seeds and all, run through the grinder with the meat. It does come out fairly spicy but most enjoy and don't think it is too hot.

    Smoking Backstraps

    We like Jeff's Rub, Cabelas Mountain Man Bourbon, or a lemon pepper rub. I have never used a bag and don't wrap in bacon just pull at 145 IT and it will be very juicy and tender. My dad can't stand to eat red meat so I have taken the last couple to 155 IT and they were still juicy and tender...

    It all looks good. I cut my snack sticks to the lengths of the Mes 30 trays and then rotate the trays and sticks to keep from drying out.

    Recipes and time for smoking fish

    We liked it best when brined then smoked. Lemon pepper or a citrus rub was good. 30 - 45 minutes will cover most fillets. Good luck and hope everyone enjoys it.

    Need some Snack Stick help

    I agree that too high of cooking temp gets your sticks out of the smoke too fast. You can also try adding a teaspoon of liquid smoke into the meat and seasoning before mixing to help get smoke flavor all the way through.

    MES30 SS - flash-over explosion in chip tray?

    The first time I seen my 30 puffing smoke several times I pulled the chip loader out. BAD PLAN! You have a ball of gas fire coming out the hole before you can move. Red face, no eyelashes, short eyebrows, and serious trimming of mustache. My chips had been soaking but guess I was just packing in...
