    Newbie Smoker, Which Smoker To Get, questions please **HELP**

    I have used the Taylor's for a number of years.  Typical price is just under $20.  They seem to last about 2 years for me before they die and give funny or no readings.  My current one just died, and so I sprung for the ET-732 that Todd is selling.  It costs more, but hopefully will last longer...

    Baby Back ribs on sale at Target

    It was $2.29 per pound. We have two targets within 10 miles.  One has a full grocery section and other one has only limited things.  Neither is called a "Super Target".  I talked to a guy at the Target that had only limited grocery items and he said his store was going to convert in the spring.

    The SNOW thread

    I recognize that snow blower -- Ariens, self propelled, two stage.  After we got 40 inches here in Maryland last year, I bought one for this season.  So far, we've not had that much.  Worst was 8-12 inches of *VERY* wet snow.  It caused a lot of broken branches in trees all around town.  Snow...

    Baby Back ribs on sale at Target

    $2.29 per pound, sale ends on 5 Feb though.  At the Target's with a full fledged grocery area. I got two cryovac packs.  Put them into the freezer for later after the snow melts some.

    Homegrown sawdust for AMNS?

    As usual, Todd has lots of good info to share.  Even better than a sealed bag is a left over juice jug -- I drink a lot of Ocean Spray Cranberry mixes and keep the empty jugs to store sawdust in.  It was a suggestion I picked up from a post here.  Just remember to label the jugs as to what is in...

    Scored a Free load of Applewood w/ Qview

    I can say from experience in years gone by that apple wood makes a good hot firewood -- but other uses should come first (smoking, carpentry).

    North Dakota woman sues Cabela's, Ohio firm, after severing fingers in meat grinder

    I agree that this should be considered a nonsense suit, and that the woman ought to be suing her husband's business (for letting an unqualified person operate dangerous machinery). I suppose the next thing will be someone trying to sue Jack Daniels because they got a DUI and/or hurt someone.

    Anyone know where a guy can find replacement MES smoker parts?

    You could try your local freecycle and/or craigslist.

    Decisions Decisions. Which ES to purchase

    I have a MES30 that is more than four years old.  It has had some problems over the years, but it is still going and doing great smokes for me.  If I were buying a new one today, and if I were a SAMs club member -- I would definitly go with their MES40 with its various features.  But then, I am...

    First try with A-mazeN smoker - fail

    I don't think that the warp has any serious effect on the AMNS.

    Scale question, again...........

    We recently bought a new kitchen scale from Amazon.  We like it a lot for our purposes.  Here is the link to it the current listing, with a lot of reviews.  Price is now at $25, free shipping. It does measure up to 11 pounds, and to fractions of an ounce.  It has the ability to zero the...

    First try with A-mazeN smoker - fail

    What that looks like to me is a triangle shape that you put over the vertical dividers.  Is that right? BTW -- Several weeks ago, I was smoking something and my MES quit (don't remember if it was when the controller died or a heat coil connection).  I moved the food (think it was salmon) to my...

    First try with A-mazeN smoker - fail

    I echo the thought that you should not give up on the AMNS.  Plenty of people have adapted to use it in hot smokes.  PLUS -- it is great for cold smokes, e.g. cheese.

    Green Bay is going to the Super Bowl

    I can say that my wife is happy.  She was born and raised mostly in Wisconsin, and is a GB fan.  We now live in Maryland, and Ravens is her second choice. I'm not a fan -- just watch (or nap).
