    Smokin-It Forum?

    Just wondering where you are located and where you're cooking it? Just wondering if you haul these meats and the county health Dept has a place to inspect, being retail? In IL we need a Cottage home license and a Kitchen food handling license and can't just make and haul foods anywhere...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    Wait until it has a load to heat and it starts sucking up the heat fast, then you'll want to change the parameters from no load, if the mes is pre heated and you open and shut to put your load in as fast as you can and then you're waiting an hour+ to get to set temp as the output light flashes...

    Yup! Might as well search the ad if you're in there at a different town zip code and the coupons for anything.

    MES overheating

    When the relay in the bottom of the smoker clicks for the closed circuit when you start heating, it heats, then opens the circuit at set temp but it may stick in a closed circuit position or if welded closed from a failed relay in the stuck closed position you'll never hear it click opening and...

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    Yes if clipped and in your clipped coupons it should be for in store shopping, pick up or delivery. I don't have accounts and a credit card set up for pick up or delivery so I leave my selection at in-store shopping all the time and when seaching coupons in and outside the Kroger app when...

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    Yup! I'll just skip the Fred Meyer's coupons when showing Fred Meyer's only. I was surprised my local Kroger couldn't recognize their own bar code. The group I found this Kroger digital deals through had an admin that scanned on the app scanner didn't show but checked out fine, being his...

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    I clipped a Smith's, King Soopers and Fred Meyer's coupon for the value pack bone in ribeyes at 5.97/# and $4.97/# for the Fred Meyer's that I knew wouldn't work saying Fred Meyer's only in the details. My Kroger had this same value pack bone in digital sale at $7.99/# coupon but I didn't clip...

    pepper progress?

    yup! The leaves burn without hardening over a couple weeks and get a silver color of eminent death. Plus if indoors the stalks/leaves aren't up for the wind if you didn't use a fan indoors for stalk strength. If you can keep them in the shade outside for a few weeks before direct light when...

    pepper progress?

    In Peoria, IL I have several Serranos Pinky finger length and flowers 2'. The Poblano is a little shorter with an inch + diameter pepper about 2" long at the stem with no blooming flowers. Like it's making one at a time. The Carolina Reaper is like an 80 day pepper runt a foot high and no...

    Masterbuilt 40” electric smoker issue

    I've heard of some folks quickly cooling down the safety dime sized limit switch with an ice cube to see if the switch closes and starts heating the element before cutting an access. When I got the free MES 30 on FB Marketplace I already made a dedicated element tester with soldered on lugs to...

    I found the McCormick Brazilian marinade packet at Kroger in the gravy packet area not in the spice isle.

    I found it under 87015 zip code at Smith's. It didn't mention coupon details for only at Smith's. I'll download and check Kroger this weekend.

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    I just put the store name with the zip code so people can just open the downloaded app and enter zip and select that store a little more easily. I have 7 or so stores downloaded and once signed in you stay signed in with your original email and password that is for all apps until you sign out...

    No heat

    Power light on , heating light on, then failed element, connectors or safety dime sized therm switch has failed most likely. Bypass safety switch with a wire nut wire to wire after cutting an access in the back panel if you do not have one with screws to it like the heating element. If you hear...
