    Smoked Cheese Puddles

    Wow, their recipe for "Melty Cheese Slices" sounds and looks pretty much like Velveeta cheese blocks. Cool.... https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/melty-cheese-slices Pouring it into a mold to set for slicing - looks just like melted velveeta to me (photo from the link above)

    Has anyone used the "Heavy D" Stick burner attachment?

    Lightbulb moment!!!!!! Who cares if the entire stick is consumed as long as it puts out clean blue smoke for an extended period of time and does not overheat the chamber. Plus less stick consumption is a plus, as you may only need one stick or smaller sticks conserving your supply. PS - I'm...

    Sausage Patties (in my Air Fryer)

    I hesitated to jump on the air fryer thing until last year. I dipped my toe in the air fryer pool with a small unit and loved it. So back around Christmas we bought the Power XL Air Fryer Oven Elite. I use that thing every day now. From sausage patties in the morning to fish and other meats...

    How long does a person expect a grill to last?

    I have a Summit S-670 (the big one) and love it. Watch craigslist and other local sale circulars. I picked up a spotless one the prior owner had maybe used 5 times (and cleaned it back to "new" every time) for $1,000 a few years back. He paid $2,800 for it and was moving to PA for a new job...

    Cannot keep my A-Maze-mn 5X8 lit..

    I think you have 2 issues, with #1 below being the main issue. 1) Over time the pellets have sucked some moisture out of the air. The pellets are very low moisture content when made (virtually zero). The natural tendency for humidity is to reach equilibrium, so if your ambient air is 50% and...

    Making snack sticks question on stuffer

    It's the design of the stuffer. They way they use a 90* elbow off the bottom is different that the way the LEM and other stuffers do it. I have a Northern Tool 5lb stuffer thats about 11 years old and this is what I have left over in the bottom of mine (basically it's the same as the old nylon...

    Mailbox sale

    Home Depot also carries that Brand/Model. They will probably match the price and generally have them in stock.

    WTF is Amazons problem!

    Yeah, but you are supposed to have the money in the bank at the time the check is issued. Not float them. It's harder to float now that the checks are actually processed at the bank where the merchant deposits it instead of the old way where it had to make it's way back to the issuing bank...

    Yep, you can thank Photobucket for breaking all the How-To stuff on the internet in 2017.

    masterbuilt blames A-MAZE-N for dead unit.

    yep, they deliberately used that as an excuse to deny customer service. That is not good at all. If it keeps up, they deserve what they will get (customers will move elsewhere - at least the ones who have done any level on internet research once word starts to get out). Either that or the CS...

    Add hooks for hanging stuff in MES

    Rivetnuts are awesome for mounting mods in a electric smoker.

    Temperature controller

    I presume you already have the electric smoker? It's pretty easy to build a PID controller. It's basically the PID, temp sensor, and a SSR to switch the power to the element. Only other things are the case and wiring. Or is this for another type of smoker as PID's can be adapted to...

    Pitboss or Masterbuilt

    By Pit Boss "series 3" are you talking about the vertical pellet smoker "series 3" unit? If you are, remember it will not work without pellets, so there is a little higher operating cost involved. That being said, I would lean towards the Pit Boss myself. Also there is another thread in this...

    Does pellet type/flavor really matter?

    One thing I've noticed that I think makes a difference is the make up of the pellets. Some are 100% "hardwood" and others are 100% "flavor" wood, which can be a little confusing. 100% "hardwood" usually means the wood in the pellet is all hardwood. Usually it is a large percentage of a base...

    masterbuilt blames A-MAZE-N for dead unit.

    Once that stance on denying warranties where pellets are used gets out to more people, it will hurt their sales. Nearly everyone I know who has a MES runs a pellet tube or tray instead of the original chip system and knew they were buying the tray/tube when they bought the MES. I think they...

    WTF is Amazons problem!

    I buy stuff on Amazon weekly. I'm on Prime and never had a problem. I do use a real credit card and pay it off once the charge posts (card is at the same bank as my checking, etc... so it's just a click to transfer to pay off). Were the items "sold and shipped by Amazon" or was it another...
