    Looking for Vacuum sealing machine recommendations

    After reading and watching lots of reviews and user recommendations, we purchased a new Foodsaver FM2000 a couple days ago at Walmart. It's a reasonable price and we had a lot of smoked meat to get in the freezer this Holiday weekend. We vac/sealed two laundry baskets of meat and veggies and so...

    MES 30" #20078715 : Will wood chips smoke at 200 degrees ?

    I've read that anything less than 240 degrees and the wood chips won't get hot enough to smoke. Is that true on this (later ?) model too ? We would like to try baby back ribs, but also pork steak, hamburgers, chicken. Also, should we always have water in the water pan ? It would seem to keep...

    Thanks for the replies. I'll put the chicken on the bottom rack. Seasoned my new smoker yesterday per the instruction manual. Looking forward to the first cook today.

    MES 30"- Is it OK to smoke chicken, beef, and pork at same time ?

    Is it ok to use different kinds of meats at the same time in the smoker ? If I'm smoking poultry, beef, and pork at the same time, which meat should be at the bottom, middle, and top ? Or should I smoke one kind at a time so they should be done at the same time, and I'm not opening the door...

    From Brinkman charcoal smoker to Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker

    I've been using a Brinkman charcoal smoker for six years or so, and the results were mostly good. We really enjoy smoked meats: burgers, chicken pieces, beef roast, pork loin roast, pork steak, pork chops, bratwurst, even fish on foil, and the water pan seemed to keep things moist. However...

    How cold can it be outdoors and still use my new MBES 30" ?

    I received a new MBES 30" for Christmas and I'm anxious to season it and cook with it. But it's not gonna be above freezing for at least a week. Are these efficient enough to use in sub-freezing temps, or even in the 30's F. ?

    How do you know when venison is "done" ?

    I was gifted some whitetail venison and was considering two ways to cook it. One would be slicing the loin cross-grain and wrapping them in bacon and either baked in the oven or pan fried. The other option would be the same prep and cooked in my new MBES 30" , but I'm a total newbie to the MBES...

    Masterbuilt Electric 30 Newbie

    Just got a new MB 30" electric smoker for Christmas. Model #20078715 and it has the electronic controls on the top front of the cabinet instead of the rear. Does this model still have problems with the control unit going south that some others did ? Also, it's not forecast to get above freezing...
