    Beef Jerky Packaging

    My guess is that vacuum sealing and freezing will make it last as long as you need. I have a Food Saver and Vacuum anything that needs to be frozen for a long time. Always stays good and never any freezer burn.  If you are thinking of just leaving it out like dried meat can be the glaze will...

    so tomorrow it's bbr for the first time.

    I have a large rack of ribs in the fridge in plastic wrap. Going into the smoker tomorrow.

    Masterbuilt 20077915 30" Digital Electric MES

    I've seen many models of MES on the internet but never this model. Anyone else have one? If you do, what do you think of it.  I have only used mine once, yesterday and it worked pretty much as advertised. I will be using it again tomorrow for BBR and will see how it performs for that.

    OK I've read a lot and seems like way not enough. So wing it. Or leg it as it were.  I'm smoking 16 chicken drumsticks. 3 hours at 250 degrees and using a mix of hickory and cherry woodchips in my MES 30 digital. All I did was oil them a bit, and sprinkle on some store bought chicken rub. ...

    Hi I'm sarge1947

    So you just decide the size you need and put it on the bottom grate?? I see the products but don't see an instruction or "how to" page.  Does it make a big difference? Lastly, should I be asking these questions in another thread?
