    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I really don't know which one I have but the book says Model 20070511. I am disappointed that this is made in China, especially knowing that this company is a home grown family owned business. At the same time, I am part of the problem because I liked the very low price at Cabela's and might...

    Micro Smoker

      This is my micro smoker. It starts with a piece of brake line and moving up, brass fitting through martini shaker cap, martini shaker with wood chips, holes are punched into the bottom (top) of the shaker. Next is a soda can with the ends cut out- this allows some cooling and moisture...

    Cold Smoke Generator for the MES

    Here is my take on the external smoke generator. After multiple other iterations I found that I did not need a soldering iron, did not need a venturi, and did not need direct air injection. I also did not need to cut anything, drill anything, weld, or even bend. I can now build an external...

    Pellicle on bacon.....

    That is always the question... how much smoke is enough and how much is too much.  I sometimes over smoke things, especially pork, on purpose. It does not taste very good when you try a slice but after it cooks in a pot of beans for a while... mmm.  If it is to be eaten as-is, then I smoke it...

    New to Smoking and slightly frustrated

    I had that happen on my MasterBuilt too. It was when it was brand new and I was using pellets. It seemed to have built up some gas and then ignited. I had the tube for filling the pellets in my hand at the time so the door did not blow but it scared me when the poof, complete with flames, came...

    Hazel wood?

    Hellooooo- Hazel, being I assume the nut, is great for smoking. Here in the US Pacific Northwest it is a native wood and my family has been using it as a favorite for many years. Like all nut woods it is a mild and fragrant smoke.  PNW smokers are traditionally more about smoked fish and...
