    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    With all due respect to all those gurus here who know more than me (which is nearly everyone), what I need to smoke with is something that will produce a consistent temperature and an acceptable quantity of smoke.  With the MES and the AMPTS (and hopefully also soon the MES side box) I have it...

    This looks awesome.  But I can't find it or any mention of it on the Masterbuilt web site.  Do you have a link? MG

    First lox on the MES30

    Gorgeous pics, Mdboatbum, and cmayna.   The only things I did different this time were 1) cure for longer than typical, and 2) use a smoker.  Don't have pics of the finished product at the moment, but the only other strangeness was a much oilier fish than typical.  It's like the smoke (heat I...

    First lox on the MES30

    Yes, this is what I do.  Salt/sugar cure under weight.  No brine.  It came out of the fridge a perfect consistency.  My only thought is the AMPTS generated more heat than I thought it would.  I didn't measure temp inside the MES since I figured it would be about ambient, which was around mid-70s...

    First lox on the MES30

    I kept the MES turned off and only the AMNTS as a smoke source.  What do you do?

    First lox on the MES30

    Help!  The lox is the same.  So "loose" it is falling apart even before I try to slice it. What did I do wrong?!?  Smoke too long? Cure too long?  I have never had this happen with lox before, but as I mentioned, this is the first time I've put it on a smoker. All advice appreciated...

    First lox on the MES30

    I've enjoyed lox forever (at least my knees think I'm that old), been making it for years, but just smoked one on a real, live smoker for the first time this morning. (The other piece of fish is blackfin tuna, caught off the OBX last week) I cured for longer than usual, mostly simply because...
