    The Cheese Wait

    To clarify, you let it sit open (Unwrapped) in the fridge overnight.  So, NOT vac packing right away is better?  Or does it matter?

    The Cheese Wait

    So many have commented on 3 weeks to wait to eat once you vac pac or wax seal. - I get that....the mellowing, etc.  What I don't understand is the wait after the smoke to cool and seal.  In other words, is there a difference in waiting 3 hours or 1 day before putting just out of the smoker...

    Cheese rack placement?

    What is the optimum size chunk for smoking?  Has anyone experimented with 2" 4" 6" or larger blocks?  What about round cheese, like Gouda, what would be the optimum for the largest part of the wedge be?

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 40'' #20070315

    Thanks for the info.  I'm pretty set on the newest GEN 2.5 BT ....and with what I read, 40 provides the most versatility and ability to put a full rack of ribs in.  From what I can figure out is they put either 4 or 6 racks in both the 30 and the 40.  From what I have read ALL 30s are 800 watts...

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 40'' #20070315

    Thanks for that tip.  If I purchased in a store, it would be bass, as they are closer to me.  Amazon now has the 40, available June 30 for $392.20 delivered (PRIME) but with only 4 racks.  Still need to know the fundamental difference, if any, between the ELITE and Non ELITE.

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 40'' #20070315

    Can someone tell me the difference between the Elite and non Elite versions of the Gen 2.5 MES that I see.  Regardless of size, 30 or 40 the only difference I can see are the amount of racks that come standard.  4 in the 30 MES non elite, and 6 in the 30  and 40 Elites. Am I missing anything...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    That's great news.  My Sams club still has the same 4, 40 in MES Gen2 (RF, non-bluetooth) that they have had prior to Xmas.  (3 in a box, one on display) They have not marked them down from the xcellent price of $299.  I hope they swap out the stock and bring in the new BT model.   I have not...

    To have or to have not

    I am looking to purchase my first smoker.  I have kind of decided on MES30.  It is the right size for my needs, at lease for now.  I am sold on digital.  Would love to hear others on their thoughts of Gen1 - no window, no remote, vs. Window and remote.  What are the advantages for the window?  I...

    Newbie from Maryland!

    Hello All! I'm kind of new to the forum, been researching for a bit.  Was looking to get the MES30, digital with window, then they announced a new model, that according to some folks here, might just be more like their old (GEN1) model, with some better features.  Purchased my cold smoke...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I am considering the 30".  Was going to get the GEN2.  I don't care about the bluetooth, but have some questions regarding the other features.   Regarding price, they basically cut out the remote they shipped with GEN2, and now make you supply your own remote, at their cost of a dollar or two...
