    Need some advice

    Greg: I assume you have the newer model with the top vents....then add 3 or 4 chips at a time "or" 1 to 2 marshmallow size chunks....that is all you need to obtain the thin blue smoke you will see coming out of the top vent...most first timers will overdo the amount of wood they put in the...

    Chunks in MES opinions pleez

    I agree that the wood tending gets to be quite often....Have my own supply of logs so am making marshmallow size chunks and feeding through the normal method....stretches the maintenance time over chips....Think you will just have to experiment as to how large a piece that works...guess that...

    Will this work?

    Then again if what you are after is a cold smoke and not a smoke cook you will need another box....open the top vent on the new unit and call it your smoke generator....pipe it to the second box where the meat is hanging....you should be able to stay below 100* in the second box...hey some even...

    Hi Everyone!

    Make sure you get the membrane pulled off the underside before you apply the rub....wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate till the next day when you cook them....you won't be disappointed Now that you have two opposing opinions....try them both!!

    Smokin Tex

    SmokeinIndy, Hey never give up someone will be here sometime I know all about the MES but not educated on the Smokin Tex. Looked at their website and came away with the following opinions. Yes it seems very similar to a Cookshack....I think they are both narrow (not adaptable) in the way...

    anyone else try this?

    I put two hams in the smoker at the same time so they had the same experience and treatments....one was a spiral cut and the other was not....don't know if the problem was the individual hams or the spiral cuts but the spiral cut was not anywhere near as good as the whole one If you don't care...

    Help with making Jerky...

    No one that I know of has been able to produce smoke in the MES at the low temperatures...Some have tried using saw-dust and even that will not produce any smoke....If you are after a smoke flavored Jerky you will have to cold smoke it first...check some of smoked's threads on how he does...
