    Generation 1ish Rounded top controller. Electronics Guru Wanted

    Stephan28, I replaced the stock controller on my MES 40 with a Auber controller. I documented this journey in my post that can be found here http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/260975/its-alive-the-auber-masterbuilt-hybrid-the-frankenbuilt. It totally changed the MES. Another member TallBM also...

    HeaterMeter Controller, with Wifi, and Electric Smoker (MES40) Mod in Detail

    TallBM, I applaud the work and the dedication that you put into your mod. Like yourself I like to build things that most people will not attempt. I do have a question on your decision to build rather then buy. The Auber controller (WSD-1501GPH) I purchased cost me $231.49 with shipping. The...

    Pops breakfast sausage question

    Now you are most likely thinking how can there be a question on a sausage recipe that has only 3 seasonings. ¾ cup salt ½ cup black pepper ½ cup sage put in ziploc and shake thoroughly, then use 1 tbsp. per pound of meat. My questions are 3/4 cup salt I always use kosher or sea salt. Does...

    First Smoked Franks with QView!!!!

    Nice post TallBM, when you made your franks did you just do a double grind or did you use food processor to get a good emulsion? It looks like you used hog casings, do you usually do franks that large? I'm thinking of trying to make franks but I'll just likely use 22-24 sheep casings. Good luck...

    New MES40 BT - bad controller?

    When loading the meat into the MES are you blocking or covering the heat sensor with the meat?

    Hi Mountain Snack sticks

    I bloom mine 3-4 hrs. after they reach temp and then put them on a tray and freeze them. After they are frozen I separate them into the quantities I want in the vac seal bags, seal them and then back into the freezer. I freeze before vac sealing them so they maintain shape and not get crushed...

    MES Mod Madness Teaser Pics!!!

    TallBM, I'm curious to know what wattage is your heating element. My 40" MES has a 1200 watt element. On a cold day 35-40 degrees my recovery time after loading food is around 20-25 min. Did you calibrate your probes using boiling water or an ice bath just to make sure all probes read the same...

    Hi Mountain Snack sticks

    It's resting in 19mm casings in the fridge and will get smoked tomorrow for 3 hours and then get put in the Sous Vide Supreme that came in the mail yesterday. I hope I don't mess this up.  hahah Are you using colegen casings or natural casings? If you're using colegen casing are you going to...

    New Element...not heating any at all now?!?

    NotoriousGT250, what was the reading you got on the heating element? If I'm not mistaken the ohmage should be around 18 OHMS. Hopefully someone will chime in with their element reading.

    MES Mod Madness Teaser Pics!!!

    Very interesting! Just a quick question, while I see the benefit of flipping the heater element so it's more centered why the need for a fan? Is the fan constant RPM or does it ramp up and down automatically according to conditions in the smoker? Thanks.

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    My water was did have a slight smoke smell and it did have some oil in it. I cleaned the Joule by removing the propeller blade and cleaning it with some dawn. I flushed the inside with water mixed with a little dawn and I used a long soft bristle brush to clean the cavity. Once I reassembled the...

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    My water was a little oily and had a slight smoke smell to it. To clean the Joule I removed the propeller and cleaned both the propeller and the body of the Joule with a mild water and dawn solution. To clean the inside of the Joule I used a long soft bristle brush with the same mild water dawn...

    sous vide immersion circulator ?

    I recently did a batch of smoked Kielbasa combining smoking and Sous Vide. I smoked them for 3 1/2 hrs. I'm my MES 40 using a AMPS. When I was happy with the color I pulled them and placed them in a 160 water bath controlled by my Joule Sous Vide. I did not place them in a ziplock or...
