    Pitmaker Safe Temps

    All, I have a Pitmaker Safe and had it for a few years but have a question on smoking venison sausage. Is there a way to get the smoker temps at 125F to 145F without buying a cold smoker? I don't want to buy another smoker. I have a Big Green Egg and a Recteq, but none will do any cold...

    Help With Summer Sausage Temps

    Hey all,  I have done a couple batches of summer sausage in the past with great results but this time I am very disturbed of what happened. I used a PS seasoning mix with maple cure to do a batch of venison and pork butt. So I changed my ratio just a little bit from 80/20 to 60/40. That might...

    Beef Jerky: Ten Pounds, Two Types (with Pics)

    Kevin, I tried your recipe this wekend and my jerky did not even look like this. I had to smoke for about 12 hours at 150 to get them dried out. Maybe I am doing somethin wrong. After 5 hours my jerky was still moist. This was my first try at a wet marinade so maybe too much moisture in the meat?

    2011 MES 40 VS 2012 MES 40

    I just smoked some salmon yesterday in the new MES 40. I will have to say it did a great job. Very even cooked on the top rack for sure. Here is the negatives: 1) The meat temp probe is off about 10 degrees on the high side. Verified with my Primos remote temp guage. Can't say what the older...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Just got my 2012 MES40 in today. Inspected all parts in order and went together very easily. The bolts are cheap and easy to strip. The front grease Pan is a neat idea and I like that change. I seasoned it with spam at 275 and this baby kept a very well heat temp. It did take about 45 minutes to...
