    Super bowl Smoke- Turkey breast

    Dry brined a turkey breast for 24 hours, put it in the #1 this morning so it will be done by game time. Set temp to 225. I put 3 oz cherry chunk and 1.5 oz apple chunk to give it some nice color and smoke. Will pull when it hits 145 deg. Pic shows the turkey in the #1 after 2.5 hours...

    MES 30 steal off marketplace

    I would suggest using as is for 4-5 smokes so you know how it functions as stock, then you will know if any mods you do are an improvement or not.

    Plan for smoking/cooking with new setup - MES 35 and A-Maze-N

    I just used 1/2 oak dowels cut to length. And then some stainless steel "S" hooks I found in hardware store. If you want to raise the dowels, you can get some aluminum angle or flat stock at Home Depot, cut it to length and drill a hole in it to put a screw in the ends of the dowel.

    better way to make Jerky

    I use stainless BBQ skewers in my Smokin-It . I think I get quicker dehydration and more even results, don't have to rotate racks. I can get 7-8# on one rack without crowding.

    Best Buy pressure cooker sale

    The Best Buy insert/ pots look like they are teflon coated. I like the stainless steel of the Instant Pot inserts.

    Wine Fridge as a Curing Chamber

    I use 4 wine coolers for fermenting my beer ( 5 gal corny kegs) and they all get down to freezing temps for finishing my lagers. I bypassed the onboard controller and use an Inkbird All purpose controller model #ITC-1000 built into a box with separate power for heating and cooling.

    Shopping for a slicer

    Keep on with the Craigslist and Facebook Market place search. You will get the most bang for your dollar buying a used commercial slicer. I searched for over a year before one showed up in my area at a reasonable price.

    Smoker for a confined space?

    I second the Smokin-It. I have both the #3 and #1. The #1 is their smallest model. I use mine for camping. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a 3'X5' patio like a lot of appts have. It can be set on a small table when smoking and put on floor when not. There is smoke produced, and when...

    Mailbox/ammo box mod question

    The exhaust pipe I used was a real tight friction fit. I did use some red high temp silicone gasket maker to seal it also.

    For Lovers of Raccoons

    Racoons carry several diseases. They are not clean animals. Check this article: https://www.addl.purdue.edu/newsletters/1997/fall/raccoon.shtml . Their feces are especially dangerous in case you come across a racoon latrine.

    The Electrics - "just the facts, ma'am" ; needing crash course

    Try raising the tube one end. I use a "U" bolt from an electrical ground clamp.

    More than likely the smell in your smoker is in the door gasket. Like I said in post, it may take several cleanings to reduce the smell. I had some renters that didn't clean a fridge out after a power outage for 2 weeks. Took most of a month with daily cleanings to get rid of the smell. Good luck.

    Used MES40 Smell's bad

    Used appliance dealers use the baking soda wash with vinegar rinse several times (may take 5-6 times) to deoderize freezers and fridges that need refurbishing after sitting with doors closed for extended periods. And a bleach wash for sanitizing.

    Upgrading to a quality electric smoker

    Just to clarify a point, MES benefits from using AMAZN tray or tube to generate smoke. They have a higher air exchange rate than the Smokin-It, Smokin-It and the like don't need to use one because they have a very low air exchange . They generate sufficient smoke with 4-8 oz of wood chunks.

    Upgrading to a quality electric smoker

    I have all three of the name brand: Cookshack, Smoking Tex and Smokin-It. For my money the Smokin-It has the most bang for the buck. I also like the analog over the digital PID control. PID would be nice, but in a smoker, doesn't really seem to be worth the extra money. My advice is to watch...
