    What is the mailbox mod?

    Cmayna, i like the idea of a stand for the tube. Ive wondered if I could fill it half way and not jam pack it full. I will do that for sure. I was tempted to leave the door cracked it put out so much smoke! I wanted Smokey cheese but gosh it was really smokey!

    What is the mailbox mod?

    I dont actually have a tray, I have a tube. But reading and seeing these gives me some good ideas. Im going to go through my garage and see what i have and can rig up.

    I know the concept but know nothing about SV

    Ok that answers a big question I had. Adding in a vacuum sealer makes the price go up. My wife didnt care about the money, it was the space or lack there of in the kitchen. Once I looked on Amazon and showed her the immersion circulator part she was on board. I see others use cooking pots or...

    OPEN FACE ROAST BEEF SAMMIE

    I came here for advice on smoking but im so glad I discovered sous vide as well. Im going to watch some videos and look into getting one myself now! My wife doesnt mind me spending on cooking stuff because she reaps the rewards and gets to eat it!

    Wow that's really cool. I never knew the many things you could do. All I ever saw was people putting steaks in the searing them for a minute a side. I would love to try a corned beef done sous vide!

    What is the mailbox mod?

    Thanks for the info! Ive got a MES 30 Digital. I got about 4 hours of smoke out of the tube and an hour out of the chips through the tray dispenser so I plan on using both for different smokes. I dont know enough about mixing different woods and how it will effect the taste so I want to stay...

    So you don't have to thaw the meat? Natosha medium rare chicken breast? What's this magic voodoo all about haha. So what advantage would it have over a crock pot for a roast? I know they are totally different, but sounds like the amount of time would be about the same.

    Oohhh. Gotcha. Ive got a MES that's insulated so im not cutting a hole just to smoke cheese! I know Masterbuilt makes an offset cold smoker attachment for like $50. May consider that some day.

    What is the mailbox mod?

    Like you use a literal mailbox inside the smoker, then a tray inside the mailbox? Ive got a square tube and not a tray so not sure sawdust would stay inside it.

    What is the mailbox mod?

    Is it for a pellet tube or a smoker? Ive heard to do it but no one told me what it is! I asked and no reply so someone please educate me!

    I know the concept but know nothing about SV

    If what I saw on you tube is correct, sous vide circulates water of a certain temperature around whatever you want to cook for a long time to cook it evenly then you seer it. For someone with zero equipment what all goes into a setup? Why sous vide something? I'm interested in any kind of...

    Back Ribs question

    So about $12 each. Which is about what I would pay at Wal-Mart, but I imagine the Costco ones are better quality meat.

    Back Ribs question

    I need to get a membership to Costco. 3 packs of ribs!!!!! Plus probably cheaper than buying them individually from Wal-Mart.

    First time disaster

    What is the mailbox mod? On the pellet tube? I used Peach/Pecan chips I got from Bass Pro. They are cabelas brand for what it's worth.

    First time disaster

    This is how i did it. Next time I'll put the tube vertical and open the top vent all the way and leave the chip hopper out. How long do you all smoke cheese for?

    First time disaster

    I was wondering about that. I laid it flat and I think what someone else mentioned happened, that it caught fire and was burning and got way to hot. I will keep it vertical next time.
