  1. fire in the hole

    Well.....I finally broke down and bought one

    My brand spank'n new MES40 showed up yesterday. After putting it together I hauled it up to my deck and plugged it in to burn it in. I set the temp to 275 and my ET732 was registered 290. I believe in my ET, so I kinda figure my MES gets hotter than it's suppose to get. There's gonna be a...

    Smoked Cheeses??? Why Not Smoked Home-Made Ice Cream?

    I think yer onto something there. With an electric smoker, an AMNS and ambient temps below freezing. Yup.....I think it would work. Justr make sure you use a nut wood.........like hazelnut or the like.

    Got a new MES40 at Sams - Sgt Bluff, IA

    I have been very skeptical of this smoker from some of the feedback, but the positive outweighed the negative, so I'm going to break down and get me one. I have a friend gong to a city that has a sams club and he's going to make the purchase for me. I should have it up and running by the 25th...

    Why should I can?

    I have a couple of crab apple trees in my yard and have put up jelly. I got good garden beets given to me and I canned them. I've also canned a couple other things but can't remember what they were. I would say yes.....if you know what your doing in the kitchen and don't poison yourself. Another...

    Are the problems with the MES 40 a real concern???

    Dave......#1, my sausage smoker came in with a twisted door that will not close completely shut, but live with it. And then the temp control drives me nuts. I turn it on to bring it up to temp, and maybe I need a liitle higher temp., so I turn the knob up a bit........and I loose temp. Then it...

    Tough as leather skins

    I have been grilling spuds forever. About 400 degrees, coated with good ol'bacon grease, with salt, pepper and onion powder coating. All in about 45 minutes. Yesterday I tried smoked spuds. Temp was ranging 220-250, and smoked for a little over 2 hrs. This was more or less an experiment, and I...

    Threading casings

    Al......Sorry for the confusion,,,,it was to rinse the center with the fresh water, that's where my problems began. I rinsed them in cold water, then had to fight to get them open to rinse thru the casing.

    Threading casings

    I am new to sausage making. My son and I made a garlic sausage today but my question at this time is........is there a secret to threading the casings onto the stuffer tube?????? Once we got the casing opened it wasn't bad.....but finding the opening was the chore. A real pain. Is there a...

    I have had the smokenator for  a couple of years now and I like it. They use to have a very active forum and one question I can remember was trouble controling the temperature. I have never had trouble to speak of with my temp contol. The only problem I seem to have is toward the end of the...

    I don't want to be accused

    I was just reading the "hijacking and killing" thred when 1 of the posters mentioned egg shell or salt or baking soda addition to the brewing basket. When you are eating out at a resturant..........and they have terrible bitter coffee.......use the salt shaker on the table. Just one slight...
