    Noobie on MES 30

    I don't know about patting it into strips but they make a jerky cannon that is like an oversized caulk gun set up that extrudes it out in flat ribbons or round snack sticks.   You just season the meat put it in the tube and push it out onto your racks and dry it with or without smoke. When I...

    Thermostat Temp Variance?

    It will produce great food and I concur it is working normal for an electric. I have a Masterbuilt and it has the same kind of temperature swings. I always figure my temp on the average of the swing.

    To poke holes or not in a steak

    The "juccartti thing" works great when used on a cheap cut of meat like sirloin. It takes a little bit of getting used to using it,  you can over do it and ruin any texture but after a time or two you get the hang of it and can make a great steak out of sirloin. When I have a high quality steak...

    Lets figure this problem out. MES smoker, not enough power, open door and lose all heat

    Add another vote for the you don't need to open the door to have a good smoke with this unit, why don't you just try it instead of saying you don't see how that can be so.

    First Smoke...not so good

    Old School BBq touched on what I was thinking. If you are opening the door to the MES every hour you were killing the temps. I hardly ever open the door to my MES, sure not every hour. Doing so you kept dropping the temps down below your target. Past that a stall is a stall and you must wait...

    Ok Bradley or Masterbuilt.

    I'll stand up with the masterbuilt crowd, it is the best investment you will ever make. If you are not doing cold smoking you wouldn't necessarily have to get the Amazn Smoker  because it makes plenty of smoke on it's own. The Amazn Smoker will give you longer periods of smoke without having to...

    Went salmon fishing at Sam's

    Man that looks good, I gotta try it. The best thing about fishing at Sam's is you can always count on eating fish at the end of the day.

    1st butt question hope I didnt screw it up

    "I was under the impression that the 40-140 in 4 hours went both ways. You have 4 hours to get over 140 and then once is goes back down below 140 you have 4 hours to get it back over 140 or under 40." I agree, I just wouldn't push the limits to far past this. I have before and was fine though.

    Do you have to brine a turkey?

    Like they said you don't have too, but I certaintly recommend it. Whichever way you decide to go make sure not to overcook it.
