    New MES 30 owner

    Ok, so I have been hanging around this site for about 3 yrs.  I look at the "Sausage" pretty much every day on my break at work.  My goal is to perfect a meat stick (venison is #1) and smoke some good meals.  Every year at X-mas I have added to my tools (stuffer first, grinder next).  This year...

    Snack Sticks From Ground Beef

    Looks great.  I hate how you guys make it look so easy.  Guess I just need to keep trying and probably invest in an electric smoker to make it easier.

    Cajun, Cajun Hot, Hammy Sticks, Breakfast Links!

    How do you Book mark a thread.  After all Foamheart rave about the sticks, I need to try it.  I'm not having much luck with my venison sticks, so maybe I need to move on.  Can you find Amephos at any local businesses, or do you need to order it online?

    Elk jap sticks w/ jap cheese heavy qview

    What did you smoke them in?  That looks like an old BBQ.  I ask because I don't have a real smoker, so always looking at what others use.

    That was a funny error, but I fixed it.  Guess I should be using my new glass I got.

    First successful snack stick

    Here is the money shot.  I think next time I will cut into sections first then dehydrate.  Any advise for storage last batch I put in ziplock and into the fridge, put it made the casings mushy.

    First successful snake stick Well I finally did it after reading many post here and getting the right stuffing tube. I used a prepackaged pepperoni and added some homemade jalapeño powder and used insta cure instead of the cure from the package. Resting then into Acorn with the AMNZPS...

    snack sticks

    Look good.  Can I ask where you got your 19 mm stuffing tube?  My Lemi 5 lb stuffer only came with plastic ones and are to big.  I tried a mod I found on here, but it didn't work so well and I wasted 10lbs of venison (don't like to waste my best meat).  Any help would be great.  Thanks  Matt

    electric smoker not what I expected

    Reinhard, what sale are you talking about.  I have been wanting to get the MES 30 but can only find 2nd generation and from all the post I haven't wanted to deal with the issues.  Life is to short and I have enough crap in my life to be worrying about my smoker running correct.  Thanks for any...

    frankfurters...Yeah!

    Those look awesome.  Did the 2 hr cold smoke bring your temp up to 140, or did you have to add some heat.  I'm thinking I might be able to do this in my "Knock of Green Egg".  Cold smoke with just the AMAZ'N and a heat diffuser (pizza pan) and finish on the stove in water.

    venison sausage-questions

    I do mine in the oven laying down (still waiting for Santa to bring my smoker).  Overnight not just to "cure", but for the flavors to have a longer time to blend.  Last, put your casings in hot water an hour before you stuff to loosen them up.  The only other thing I would add because i messed...

    20 pound turkey and scared to death!!

    I do a 20 #er every year because I love leftovers.  Here is my method that works for me and my turkeys are never dry.  I brine it on Wed for 8 to 18 hour depending on how "salty" you like your bird.  I did it for 17 to 18 first year and loved it but wife said it was to salty for her likin.  So...
