    Cleaning the Masterbuilt Cold Smoker??

    All of the paint inside my lid and around the chimney bubbled off. It all turned to goo. I scraped off what I could and now I'm all sheet metal inside now.

    Brined, Cured Canadian Style Christmas Turkey in my MES 30"...Right here in California.

    Brined using cure for that giant smoked turkey leg flavor through the whole bird. 20 pound turkey took 7.5 hours in my MES 30". I cannot get it up over 250 and it takes about an hour and half to get there while preheating, even if I also turn the element on the cold smoker plugged right in the...

    Ham Chronicles: The Hammening

    Nice job.  I was going to try the cheesecloth and purchased some, but I wasn't sure it would work.  Clearly it does. I did order some from Butcherssuply.com to try out. They sell 10 stockinette bags for like $4.50. And a stockinette hook for about $2.50.  Good work!

    Cleaning the Masterbuilt Cold Smoker??

    It's just a chute about a foot long. I can't see it being too much of a fire hazard in a stainless gas grill. I'm more worried about damaging the chute itself.

    Had A Little Smoking/Christmas Party. Turned Out Great!

    Had my smoker for a couple of weeks and have been smoking almost daily to prep for a big Christmas party at our new place in Redondo Beach. Man, was it a hit. I love my MES with cold smoker. I have to admit, I wouldn't have felt the same about the MES without the cold smoking kit and the...
