    Where to buy a Gen 2.5 40" MES?

    I paid $275 from Cabela's when it was on sale. They also price match in store or on line if you find one cheaper but want to buy from them. (read their price match policy first) I haven't used the blue tooth yet. I use my maverick for keeping an eye on the temps as I can go any where in my...

    Why do my burgers suck?

    Yes in deed. I love using cast iron except I convinced the wife to let me buy the 36" Blackstone griddle for the garage because I would set off the smoke detector every time we did smash burgers in the house.

    Where to buy a Gen 2.5 40" MES?

    What PID are you going with and how are you wiring it? If you have directions I would be interested in seeing them. Will there be a significant advantage of having the PID vs. just setting the temp you want and hoping it stays within + or - 10°.

    Why do my burgers suck?

    Have you ever had a burger from Smash Burger, 5 Guys or Shake Shake? I used to grill burgers and they were always just ok. Now I do smash burgers on my cast iron pan or my blackstone flat top. If you do it on cast iron in the house, make sure you have the window open and fan on. If you like a...

    Sweet & Spicy Beef Jerky

    Good looking Jerky. Do you have the recipe for seasoning or was it store bought? I've been use pork loin from Sams Club. I get it for $1.79/lb and taste just as good as beef for me.

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    I did ribs on mine this past weekend in 15° temps. I had it at 250° and it held temps very well. Had my maverick inside and didn't see much in fluctuations. I did notice a 15° difference from 2nd from top to 3rd from top rack. Might of been because the bottom prob was near the meat. Used the...

    Sage breakfast sausage

    This is Popp's Country Style Sausage recipe that I always use. I buy the ground sage in 2oz bags and I believe that almost equals a half cup for me. I use table salt, not Kosher. ¾ cup salt ½ cup black pepper ½ cup sage put in ziploc and shake thoroughly, then use 1 tbsp per pound of meat.

    1st Sous Vide Porterhouse

    I heated up some garlic and rosemary and threw it into the bag with the roast. I wouldn't say mine came out juicy, but it was extremely tender and had decent flavor. Made a great Au Jus from it also.

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

    I agree that I used to look be on here much more with the old format as it seemed easier to use. I am getting the hang of it better and utilize the Recent tab often. I hate to say it, but I am also on about 4-5 groups on Facebook and they have anywhere from 25k-120k members each. When you...

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    I picked mine up from Cabela's and everything was good. Only issue was someone jammed the racks in there without them going in the slides and they were slightly stuck and bent when I pulled them out. I just straightened them out. I made 10 lbs of beef sticks last weekend and it was 4° out and...

    Me last weekend - "I'm going to buy an electric smoker honey". Wife - "You already have 4 smokers, you don't need another". Me - "Ok, this is for our son so he can learn to master the art of smoked meats. Wife - "You're ridiculous.....You're son is only 1.5 years old and does not need to master...
