    MES 40 ISSUES

    Mine started cutting off randomly as well. Turned out to be the high heat thermal protector, or what ever it's called. The sensor in the cabinet that turns off the element if it detects too much heat. When it goes bad, it turns off the element even if the cabinet is not overheated. I ran a wire...

    What else is good to stuff poppers with

    Mix of cream cheese, grated Queso Fresco cheese, and seasoning rub. Add brisket pieces if I have any.

    I had the same issue with my MES40. Turned out to be the overheat sensor went bad and would cut the power to the element. Rewired to by pass it and all works ok now.

    New at making beef sticks and they seem salty

    Does the mix have citric acid in it? That will give a tang like a Slim-Jim.

    Air fryers

    I've pretty much decided to get the Cosori 5.8 bottom tray cooker. Good reviews and 2 year warranty. Decided I don't really need a rotisserie as I do chickens in my smoker.

    Air fryers

    Bumping this for any additional suggestions. Looking to get one for my wife this Christmas. What's better, the Emeril oven style or the bottom tray style? Emeril 360 scores low on Amazon.

    Power outage during smoke

    Cure added properly. Was cooking at 165 deg and had been at that temp for several hours. Don't know the sausage IT as I don't check that early as it was not close to being done per usual time period it takes.

    Power outage during smoke

    No as SS takes so long I don't bother with having a probe in all the time.

    Power outage during smoke

    Had a batch of summer sausage in the electric smoker for about 10 hours when the power went out. Power was out for 8 hours and the smoker temp got down to 61 degrees. Is it safe to keep cooking or is the batch ruined. Normal for me is for a batch of SS to take around 24 hours.

    If you're going to make Texas sausage, you gotta use Texas beer!

    I've Never Used A Stuffer.

    If you're making summer sausage, or similar, and adding ECA, you cannot grind and stuff at the same time. ECA cannot be put thru a grinder or the batch will be ruined.
