    Thank you nepas!!!

    Man, you have more willpower than me, old friend.  I get a new toy, I gots to try it out.    The Bradley is not my ultimate curing chamber, but I have some Venison Thuringer that I'm gonna have to smoke in a couple days and will probably use that.   Instructions stress that during the initial...

    Thank you nepas!!!

    Hi guys.  I got my AIR2 in and was doing a test run.  I set it up in my old Bradley Smoker that the heating element is burned out on.  The smoke generator still works, so that is my heat source.  Ambient temp about 60 F.    Wanted an internal chamber temp of 100.  When setting the temp on the...

    Cold Smoke Bacon Question

    I'm going to cold smoke some side bacon today in my MES.   First run with a new AMNS.   Question:   Ambient temperature 25-30 degrees.   Should I run the MES at 100 degrees (minimum) or just use the AMNS only with the MES off?   Does the AMNS generate any appreciable heat? Thanks, Brad

    The La Caja China ????

    I have the La  Caja China #1.  First time out, time was short and we couldn't find a "smalll" pig for the roast.  I purchased four large Boston Butts and  used the Pierna Criollo (Stuffed Pork Shoulder) recipe from the Throwdown with Bobby Flay video.  The link is from the La Caja China website...

    How to "cook" a fresh ham in a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker

    As said above, without curing it won't taste like the traditional ham.  Without some healthy injecting/marinading, especially without smoke, I would think you would get some pretty bland tasting pork, much like cooking in the oven with no prep.

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    Just picked up a new MES 40 today.  Have it all seasoned up and ready to go.  The manual says not to use "heat pellets"  My understanding is that there is a difference between pellets meant for heating (create heat, duh!) and for smoke flavor (not so much heat).  I have used the Traeger pellets...

    Noobie from Mid-Missouri

    Thanks.  The old Bradley Smoker has quit working.  Replaced the element and switch, still has no heat.   The smoke generator still works though, so I will probably just use it for cold smoking.
