    A-Maze-N pellets/dust

    I used to buy apple and cherry Lumberjack brand from Amazon. Just checked and only see pecan variety available now from Lumberjack.

    this has to be a scam right a Blackstone for 59 dollars?

    They'll make up the loss with shipping and handling fees.

    Meat grinder recommendations.

    I have a LEM #5 Big Bite. It does everything I want. But I would like a #8 or #12 to make it go faster. I can't feed enough into the #5 to slow it down, just limited to the size of the throat/head.

    Homemade Dogfood

    Onions can be toxic to dogs. There is a compound in onions, garlic and leeks that causes anemia in dogs. Some exposure may be tolerated occasionally but the AKC says to avoid all exposure to allium. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-onions/

    Too much smoke

    I was lazy when I had my MES. I just used a 8 in long piece of the flexible duct material that fit on my mailbox mod. When I wanted to do a cold smoke, I would turn smoker on at 120 for a couple of min just get the draft started and then turn off the smoker. If I was in a hurry, I would give...

    A smoker for camping?

    I use a Smokin-It #1 for camping. I can easily do three racks of ribs cut in half in it. I transport it in the back of my pickup and don't notice any odors. A garbage sack would contain any odors. Smokin-It also has a smaller smoker, "Sydney Camper Smoker", but it only has 2 racks instead of...

    Dang Squirrels

    Tallbm: They are making portable 12v/110v compressors that can charge the airtanks now. They can be had for $250 up. I got one for $350 and really like using it over the scuba tank for my backyard pesting. Check out some of the youtube videos on hog hunting with PCPs in texas.

    Instant Pot Burning Everything

    if it didn't go over pressure and release, then I think the temperature sensor is working correctly.

    MES 40 Help

    I don't think you will get any infiltration of insulation fibers into the inside of the smoker as long as you didn't drill any holes in the inside metal.

    MES 40 rebuild - back insulation replacement?

    I think either would work.

    How to secure smokin-it smoker?

    I bolted mine on filing cabinets (with added casters so they can be moved). They could be picked up and moved off my property but it most likely would take 2 people. Adding a chain to secure to a post wouldn't be too hard. For my Smokin-It #1 I put a eye bolt through a leg and chain it down...

    Will this PID work on "any" electric smoker?

    You may need to do an auto tune on your PID. If you do, put a brick or some sand in a pan to act as a heat sink. An empty smoker will not tune correctly because it heats up and cools to quickly. The idea is that the PID needs to "learn" with the smoker operating as you would use it with meat...

    Will this PID work on "any" electric smoker?

    Check the wattage of the MES, then check wattage the PID supports. You don't really want to use more than 3/4 of the wattage the PID supports (some will say use only 2/3). So for an 800 watt MES element you would want at PID that supports at least 1000 watts. Also if you use an extension...

    Tender Jerky Advice

    I mix up my ground jerky, chill very well and then roll out to a 10 in x 16 in sheet about 1/4 in thick. I use plastic baking mat for the bottom and parchment paper for the top. Then I smoke the sheet of meat until done and slice in strips.

    MES 40 Help

    If there was insulation there when you opened it I would use a ceramic bat insulation made for kilns and such or fireplace fiberglass insulation. There may be some air cooling required if there wasn't any insulation previously in place.
