    social advocate - sees building in need of a ramp - petitions to have ramp built. social justice warrior - stands outside the building and kneecaps everyone not in a wheelchair that passes by for daring to offend them by not needing a ramp. then shames them for not being handicapped to begin...

    Masterbuilt 40" digital electric smoker, model G2ESU40BSW

    smoke ring is really just cosmetic. one trick I found for getting a good ring in an electric is bark. yes. tree bark. get some of the bark of whatever wood you're using, break it up and mix it with your chips. also search the forums for 'smoke ring' and you'll find a lot of research on...

    Meat Curing Chamber Question

    I agree with that. if it ain't broke, no need to go and try fixing it. and it doesn't seem like it'd do any harm to let it alone.. and hell.. use it as a storage cabinet for some of your gear. it'll be right there and handy when you need it, so you don't have to go hunting it. 'where'd I leave...

    Smoking for Two - How do you handle small batches?

    thanks.. I found myself at various points in the past dealing with an excess of meat and only so much room in the fridge and smoker, so I had to figure out something.. honestly, the first time I did it, I'd been reading about block-frozen fish and shrimp, and said 'huh. why not?' and did it with...

    I stand corrected. I was in a hurry when I was typing and didn't double check. thanks for the catch!

    Smoking for Two - How do you handle small batches?

    according to recommended portion sizes, I'm a family of 4, so there's that.. I don't wind up with leftovers like regular people do...  but seriously.. vacpac and chill chest are your best friends. smoked meat is good 3, 4 months later if it's been kept frozen and airtight. of course, I'm the...

    First Beer Can Chicken

    toss... out... fatty drippings? give them to me. I'll take them! (of course I eat a diet that has a cardiologist dreaming of a new yacht... and frustrates the docs when my numbers are way better than his. I barely eat carbs, but I'll get a serious twitch for some fat. my friends once made me...

    how long to cold smoke beef for jerky?

    there's a bit of a consensus that you're going to want to marinade first, then smoke. couple reasons for - one, the marinade can (and will) wash some of your smoke flavor out - not good. two - smoking, even cold smoking, changes the surface proteins of the meat, making it more difficult for...

    Neighbors ever complain about smoke???

    Replying to it just provides it with  let's not feed them. it lets them breed. It might have had a point, but being deliberately offensive isn't going to change anyone's mind.  I blocked it on reading its first message.  as for my neighbors? they love the smoke. and.. if I haven't in a few...

    Green Wood?

    when it's lighter (about half the weight) and snaps rather than flexes, when it doesn't steam off if you hold it to some heat. covered or uncovered, bark up or down.. these are questions that've taunted firewood cutters for centuries.  basically, stack it with airflow under, to keep it off the...

    smoker setup questions

    yeah, anytime you open a door, you're gonna lose heat. just kinda the way of it. once you get your temp dialed in, you want to avoid 'fiddling' if at all possible. that means 'opening to mop, opening to add logs' etc. I had that problem a lot with my MES analog. had to add chips every 20 minutes...

    Green Wood?

    back when I was using my UDS, I never had any trouble with green wood, especially pecan. but! I'd say if you're going to use green wood, use stuff that doesn't have an intense flavor when it's dry (fruit and nut, mostly), and use only a little of it. what I'd do is stack the green stuff around...

    Newbie

    good to have you! I sent a reply to your smoke question, and I hope we can find a solution for you. (I know the pain of 'not enough smoke' I know it's 'thin blue smoke' but there is such a thing as too thin. dunno about too blue, though)

    No Smoke

    a lot of people have that issue with the MES are you using the analog or the digital model? (my experience is only with the analog, other guys can help you out with the digital) either way, one of the things the masterbuilts seem to suffer from is a rather puny chip receptacle (especially the...

    Which smoker to buy

    I've been doing a lot of research into using the AMNPS with that smoker (as it's the one I have) after about 5 years of use, my analog controller went out - going to be getting a replacement for that from masterbuilt - they might have some flaws, but for the most part, their customer service is...
