    1st Try at Smoked Pepper Jack

    Not in the house, I put the Chief on the front porch. I had plans for in the future to make a mailbox mod for my MES to do smokes like this. If this turns out good then I will be making that sooner than later!

    1st Try at Smoked Pepper Jack

    Thanks for the tips guys. Would it be too late to remove the cheese from the vac bag and let sit for a little then revac it back in the bag? I do not want to be eating tar when I finally open it up to eat it. Fueling Around, the wife has been wanting me to get rid of the old Chief for awhile...

    1st Try at Smoked Pepper Jack

    No I did not. What is air drying? How long should I let it sit before vac sealing.

    1st Try at Smoked Pepper Jack

    I just could not wait any longer, I needed to get my fix at smoking something. I had a block of Pepper Jack left over from New Years Eve get together and after reading thru a slew of smoked cheese threads I had to give it a go. Nothing fancy, cut into thirds. Grabbed my pellet smoker and...

    Smoking 23 lbs of Pork butt

    I have an MES 40. When I smoke a bone in pork butt It works out to be about 21 hours in the smoker. I use a AMPS for the smoke. I set the smoker to 245. The pork butts that I have done have been between 5.5lbs and 8lbs. They all seem to end up taking the same amount of time? I do not wrap mine...

    Cleaning MES Window Without Any Chemicals At All

    Looks mighty nice in that there smoker. Me personally prefer to keep my smoker cured and untouched, except that dang window! Why did I get the one with the window? Once I fire up the smoker it is not long till that dang window becomes useless. Then I feel that I must get it clean once I am...

    Yikes. Last Of The Beer Stix

    Well I guess that only means one thing, time to make another batch! BTW, they do look good. What was the process that you did to make those? Very soon I will be an owner of a sausage stuffer and have been looking to make some snack sticks.

    Help! Ready to buy MESS, but can't make heads or tails!

    Here is the link to the wireless Thermometer that I got. It has two pointed probes. There are other versions of this same thermometer. One with a single probe. also there is a version with 2 probes but only one is pointed. Not sure how that can be any better than the one I got.

    Help! Ready to buy MESS, but can't make heads or tails!

    This is my own experience, I have a MES 40 with the Bluetooth. I feel that the Bluetooth feature is really a waste, range is not that great when I did try it. Still found myself going out to check on things anyway. I did get a wireless dual temp probe and have to say that that thing is worth...

    Please remove

    Maple Sugar will last for ever as long as you keep it in a sealed container. It is nice that you are offering it to others but why not use it in other recipes? You can replace maple sugar 1 for 1 with either white sugar or brown sugar. For next time, a way to cut the foaming down just add a...
