    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    Todd, I agree with you on the MES control method.  The time based on / off method of the heater element is crude but cheap to manufacture.  A variable voltage control would be nice to have with a voltage punch to ignite the wood chips.  The variable voltage control would also increase the...

    My First Brisket

    I finally got around to doing a brisket.  5 pounder from Wally World.  Cooked in the MES at 225, wrapped in foil at 160.... then to 200.  Used a mix of apple and hickory.  A "few" cheap beers got me through the 12 hour smoke. Salt, Onion powder, pepper, garlic powder and a touch of cayenne...

    Canned lunch meat

    I eat spam once a year during an annual fishing trip with my buddy at Salt Fork State Park in East central Ohio.  Fried in bacon grease, topped with grilled onions and mustard, placed on a toasted hoggie bun.  Darn good.  On a tight budget one year and bought some Treet, big mistake.  Wore out...

    Guys, need a little advice.

    The bacon tastes good, just has a little hint of bitterness here and there.   Next time I will leave the vent all the way open and open the chip chute as suggested.   I think I just over smoked this batch.   There was quite a bit of smoke rolling out when I opened the door.   Thanks for your help.

    Guys, need a little advice.

    I’ve been smoking food in my Masterbuilt propane smoker since August 2010 with pretty good results.   I copied Bearcarver (many thanks) recipes for the most part but ventured on my own here and there and have been happy with the results.   I recently “upgraded” to a MES 30 and added an AMAZN...

    First attempt at roast beef

    After seeing all of the pictures of roast beef I had to give it a try. My first attempt........... 3 Lbs. sirloin, seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Two hours at 230F, internal temp at 140, used hickory chips for smoke.  I was expecting this to take 4...
