    Cleaning the Masterbuilt Cold Smoker??

    Anyone have any tips for the best way to clean the chimney and chute for the Masterbuilt Cold Smoking Kit?  I use mine for everything now since it gives me better smoke and allows longer burn times, but it's pretty badly clogged up and the pellets and chips get stuck in the chute. I have to go...

    Cold Smoked Salmon Wthout Cure #1. Need Advice

    Just to let everyone know. It was fine. It's all gone now. Served it all at a party on Sunday after my wife and I both tested it. Everyone loved it. :)  Will get some pictures up shortly.

    better than masterbuilt? please?

    The best thing I ever did was get the $59.99 cold smoker kit for my MES. I don't even use wood inside anymore even when hot smoking. I find that if I am hot smoking something like pork tenderloins at 225, the wood just burns up real fast and the smoke is too white. And running a cold smoke, even...

    I cold smoked for 3.5 hours.  Did some salt while I was at it. Smells pretty good. We'll see how ti is after 24 hours chilling on a cooling rack in the fridge. Hope I don't get sick. We'll find out tomorrow night. :)

    Here's another good video by the same company. They smoke up to 5 hours using saw dust. Check out 2:40 and beyond.

    Never cold smoked lox before. Okay. Maybe I'll try a shorter period this time out. I did beef tenderloins cold smoke for 90 minutes and they were plenty smoky tasting when I grilled them to medium rare later. I watched this video and they cold smoke for a very long time, although it's probably...

    Cold Smoked Salmon Wthout Cure #1. Need Advice

    Prague is insta cure #1. Yeah I think I'm going to go for it and just try it myself. I probably shouldn't have desalinated, since that is not part of most recipes for authentic nova lox. The extra salt probably helps with curing and flavor. I didn't want my salmon to taste like ham or bacon...

    Cold Smoked Salmon Wthout Cure #1. Need Advice

    Hi guys. So I picked up some wild sockeye salmon that had been previously frozen, excited to make my first batch of lox using my MES 30" and Cold Smoking Kit. I decided to follow a traditional Nov Lox recipe that did NOT have pink salt in it. I brined the salmon for the past 48 hours in the...

    Smoked Feta??

    Yeah I was thinking Brie would be good. I think we're going to make our Feta and then smoke it.

    Smoked Feta??

    I did a search but didn't find anything.  I'm wondering if anyone here has smoked Feta.  It's one of the healthier cheeses out there and something we use a lot. Because it's brined, I'm wondering if after some drying time it might work well smoked and placed back into brine? Seems like it would...

    Anyone know how big the racks are in a MES 30"?  I have one arriving on Friday and want to order a Maverick 733 and some Q-Matz material for the smoker from Amaze-n but since the hasn't arrived smoker yet, I can't measure the racks. Can anyone provide that info so I know what to order? Thanks.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Mine is my nickname. My first name is Sheldon, but became Shelly, then in my teens became Smelly. I was known for my epic farts. ;) I was a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Dirtbikes, quads, motorcycles, snowmobiles, skydiving, climbing, off roading, etc. I crashed so many times and broke so many...
