    Pulling Silver Skin from ribs

    Watched a show this last weekend with Guy Fieri checking out BBQ joints around the US and two different rib joints left the silver skin on until they took it out of the smoker. Each claimed it held the moisture in while smoking the ribs. It appeared to come off quite easily. I have always...

    #12 STX MEGAFORCE 3000 SERIES on Sale on Amazon

    Is there an American made meat grinder?  I noticed Cabelas' website states it's meat grinders are imported and after inquiry, I received an email from LEM stating its meat grinders are manufactured in China. I for one am sick and tired of buying that Chinese crap! When I was in the market for...

    AMNPS and MES

    In the FAQ section of Todd's A-Maze-N website he states for the MES you should remove the chip loader and pull out the chip drawer approximately 1 1/2 inches. I have done this every time I use the AMNPS (both cold and hot smoking) and it works perfectly. I always leave the vent wide open and...

    AMNPS and smokehouse mods!

    Pops--that's what I call ingenuity! I would love to hear the neighbors when they look over the fence and see a mailbox attached to your smoke house.

    MES Customer Service - The Rest Of The Story

    I own a MES 40 with the standard small chip tray. I called Masterbuilt and asked for the retro-fit larger chip tray, which they gladly agreed to provide at no cost to me. I provided my address and was told the retro kit would be shipped via UPS. After waiting about two weeks, I called MES to...

    Best Vacuum Sealer?

    I currently have a Vacmaster Pro 130 and it rocks. I also buy the Vacmaster bags and rolls and have not had an issue with either. Webrestaurantstore.com has great prices on the bags. I just put up 12 pounds of pastrami and 8 pounds of roast beef without a hitch.

    Another pastrami thread

    I am confused. In one thread someone stated he pulled it off at 140 degrees, but you state you foiled it at 165. I bought three corned beef flats and want to make pastrami, but I do not know what temp to take them out of the smoker. Help?

    Greetings from the Lone Star State

    Welcome fellow Texan. I too was a long time stick burner until I bought a MES 40 last year due to the burn ban. I admit to missing the long hours tending the fire, but the MES certainly makes smoking easier. Someone recently posted that Sam's had the MES 40 on sale for about $300. You also...
