Sheesh! Now I'm really confused :) I just bought a brand new MES40 to smoke sausage. Now I feel like I should have just rigged up cold smoker for my current smoker and bought a SV. Am I missing something? Is the SV just another method of getting sausage to temp slowly? i.e. I was planning on...

Don't know which model you have and if you can add a "mailbox mod". That is the one thing I did that made my Masterbuilt a great smoker.

I just looked it up on the Bradley smoker site. It appears as though the puck burner gets up around 550f and will raise the temperature of an empty box to about 120f. Of course you have other variables that affect the box temperature so it kinda depends. Ambient temp, temp of the food you put...

I have the gen 2. I added pipe out the side, have no issues venting ( I should say anymore since adding pipe ) Mailbox mod and Auber PID, made this an absolutely awesome smoker.

Last year I did butter bath thighs and was very inconsistent. I think part was my trimming and I think some may have just been the size of the chicken itself. But the main problem was just me. For home and practice I cook quite a bite of boneless skinless breasts and have always been pretty...

Makes perfect sense. Thanks! I'm sure I'm not done asking questions :)

Thanks everyone! These are definitely on the menu for lunch today @DRKsmoking! I'll get a cut shot too. I agree @Fueling Around. The pellet poopers really don't allow for a ton of smoke on smaller cuts. I have a Bradley, but I rarely use it since I got the Traeger. I've been looking to do the...

Hello from RI. The MES is a fairly simple smoker to use and I'm going on the assumption that you're using it as is,no mods of any type. Smoke flavor or lack of can depend on a few things.You mentioned one and that's duration of smoke.Another is amount of smoke being produced on a load.Also...

Welcome to SMF! If you've been lurking for a while, you know we love pics.!! Kudos on the mailbox mod.; it works awesome! Also, special consideration given to new members for a ride on the spinner....so take awesome pics. of your cook in your new smoker!

I am making another batch of Pepperoni sticks and have the smokin tube going with pellets now in the toolbox, ran out of dust, and am getting too much smoke. I pulled the duct out of the chip loader and let the natural draft pull in fresh air mixed with the smoke from the toolbox (mailbox). This...

Hi there and welcome! I don't know from personal experience but have read cases where guys are fine if they put chips/pellets in on initial heat up and then just keep feeding where the cherries keep the new wood going. Also a number of people just saying it works period but then a few saying...

...I run a rewired MES40 with a PID, Mailbox Mod + AMNPS tray. So in my setup I will be adding smoke via pellets in my AMNPS tray in my mailbox mod. Someone with a stock MES would add wood chips. Q: Do you cold smoke before bringing the smoker up to 100? In other words do you “pre-smoke”? A...

Congrats on the success man, that all looks great!!! Yep mailbox mod with AMNPS for 12 hours of smoke rocks! Keep it up :D

GAGR, Sorry not trying to confuse you, I use my smoker for everything start to finish except for summer sausage . I just did a batch of snack sticks today in it. I just like finishing the large diameter sausage in my SV. I know exactly when it will be done and can plan accordingly and the...

I have done a rewire bypass, installed a 1200w element, and have an Auber PID AW-1520H. I have removed the slanted metal plate that comes with the Gen 2. I have a mailbox and an AMNPS on the way. I'm considering swapping out the snap-disc for one that goes to 347F so I can improve the skin on...

I don't have a cold smoke attachment so can't speak to that. According to what you described, I would give a test run and see how it operates for you.

It will with some mods. a MB Electric was my first smoker. I got tired of the "mild" smoke flavor (they do work though and beats oven-baked stuff) and since moved on, but this is what you can do...

I'm glad everything turned out ok! This is a great reminder that we just can't completely leave a smoker un-attended no matter if it's electric or low temp or anything else. I've never had a fire in my smoker but have definitely had flame-up/fire going in my mailbox mod when too much wend got...

Ah yes. I see that my previous experience with an offset smoker is clouding my design concept. I'm trying to make sure the MES is filled with smoke before I have even set up the mailbox mod to find out how it works. 🤦‍♂️ Thank you. :emoji_thumbsup: On my old Char-Griller offset I had to do a...

Most points already made. I wanted to comment to emphasize the quality aspect. Usually, I use A graded tubed whisker free casings from Butcher Pantry. These are US or Danish pigs also. Excellent, good texture for brats. Today I used up some LEM 32-35mm hog casings I had that I'd forgotten...
