I have heard good things about the Vacmaster sealers . I have a Weston and it works great . I have used the vacmaster bags extensively and find them to be excellent . If I were shopping for a sealer today I would probably choose a Vacmaster
I have a MES 40 1st gen and use a AMNPS and love it ...... works 10 times better than the chip tray . There is a short learning curve but its easy to master
also if you have a water pan in your smoker you will have problems keeping the pellets smoking ....... been there ..... take it out and replace with a pan of sand or rocks covered with foil
no I dont smoke at 800 ................ but 210 is lower and slower than I was interested in ............ 225-250 is what I was looking for on that smoke
please tell me ... are you an expert or a smartass ?
I had the same problem with using a water pan in my Dyna glo offset verticle smoker a couple weeks ago . couldnt get more tha 210 with the water pan in ...... after the meat and water pan was removed when I had finished smoking the temps went as high as 360 within 30 minutes . No question in my...
I bought the dyna glo verticle on sale from amazon last winter . I am just now starting to use it . I did the sealing mods that are shown on the dyna glow thread . It seems like a pretty good smoker for the money to me . I have no complaints . IMO all smokers have a learning curve to get the...
I started out with a 5 lb from "The Sausage Maker" , then a 11 lb Cabelas , and then a 15 lb LEM ....... IMHO The 5 lb was too small , its a pain reloading every 5 lb . The 11 lb sucked for reasons I have already stated . I REALLY like my 15 lb LEM .
I have bought quite a few things from LEM...
they leave meat in the bottom of the tub as well ..... its not just the elbow ....... BTW ....... if your using a large stuffing tube you will have 1/4 lb in the tube itself ........ maybe that stuffer is different than the cabelas but they look identicle , probably all made by the same company...
I had cabelas 11 lb that is very similar the the one shown . It would leave 1 - 1 1/4 lb of meat in the bottom of the stuffer and the elbow . When you make 10 pound batches as I do that is a REAL PITA .. I sold it and bought a lem 15 lb and I love it .
How long does everyone season their wood before using in the smoker ?
I have some hickory that I cut last Feb. Last weekend I used a couple 4" diameter pieces with bark on it in my charcoal smoker and I could detect just the slightest bitter flavor . Should it be split . Is Bark on OK ?
ok ...... last week I had my seasoning fire in my Dyna glo verticle smoker and it worked great . Heated to well over 300 and stayed steady after adjusting the draft @ 225 - 250 for several hours . I had previously sealed all connection points and the doors with Hitemp silicon ( I used plastic...
I hear the big boys on TV talking about the money muscle . Anyone have pics showing exactly which muscle in a pork butt is the money muscle ?
I'm thinking when I bone out pork butts for sausage grind I will keep the money muscle for finer dining ! .....
