    Terikyaki beef/pork sticks

    I purchased teriyaki seasoning from butcher & packer. I made 5# of meat sticks. I thought the flavor was very mild. Hope somebody can help to zing it up a little. I did have a thought of adding a little encapsulated sugar or more pepper.

    MES 30 129$

    I cold smoked cheese today. It did go pretty well, the amnps did go out twice so my rail idea might not be the clear ticket yet. The outside temp was 45 deg and inside the smoker stayed around 75 deg. The wind was coming  from the side the draft is on, so the smoke came out the chip loader...

    MES 30 129$

    I have a mes 40" 512 and I put my amnps on the bottom left corner. I do have it on two rails about 1 inch off the bottom. I sure  would like to see someone else idea.
