    Strong recommendation: USE A DIMMER plug for electric cold smoker attachment!

    Cleaning that chute is key. When I've gotten it really clean, they slide down like butter and six hours later it's just ashes. Not even sure I know how I did it!

    Strong recommendation: USE A DIMMER plug for electric cold smoker attachment!

    Hi folks, I have an MES 30 and the Masterbuilt cold smoker attachment, and I started trying something a few months ago that has worked so well I wanted to share it. Adding a dimmer plug to the cold smoker has resolved a problem I'm sure many others have had - excessive generation of smoke from...

    Can't get smoke at 225 degrees

    So I'm a relative newbie also, but I'll give you what I've learned in 16 months with my MES 30. Since I have been clueless and ignorant, I'll have to start from the basics. I want to clarify something you said first, specifically "I can't get dry wood chips to burn..." That makes me worry...

    PASTEURIZATION TABLE... or.. how to safely cook your food to a lower internal temperature..

    Here's a good quote from that fact sheet (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/trichinae/docs/fact_sheet.htm) showing trichinosis is close to a non-issue - it dies at a very low temp:

    PASTEURIZATION TABLE... or.. how to safely cook your food to a lower internal temperature..

    Not sure how to read this... guess I'm stupid, or maybe it's the wine... Can I smoke my sausage to 150 degrees for - say, an hour - and have it be safe?

    Finally got a snack stick recipe that I love.

    excuse me, was "second Bowel" a Freudian slip or what?

    20.5 cubic foot Kenmore upright freezer, great condition - Boston North

    This freezer ran so smoothly I can hardly believe we've had it eight or more years.  I seriously thought we got it around 2014.   This is an upright freezer with a LOT of room for meat - like six butchered deer, three butchered pigs...   Appliance part number 253.28712800.  One of the labels...

    5-step ♨️ Smoked Chicken Wings!

    I'd love some comments on this creation! We vacationed in Tampa/St Pete and had amazing wings at The Smoke Shack.  What was their secret?  Dry rub, then smoke, then deep fry.  He uses a regular pork rub, actually.  I think he may have skinned them to rub. I wanted to do a bit more with buffalo...

    How important is soaking wood (chips)?

    I have an MES 30", so I'm not really "burning" my wood (chips) per se.  Is soaking wood important, and how long, how much?  I'm aware of some who say soaking wood is pointless, but it seems the majority soak wood before using it for smoking. Opinions?
