    Newbie to Smoking - MES 30 is awesome, and a big thanks to everyone on these forums

    Mines a mes 30 but I would think same concepts. I have a serious man crush on mine. Check on the link humdinger posted or even just post a new thread with your problems with the 40. I can't imagine anything not turning out in mine. I do smoke lower temp generally 200* to 225*. Even my first...

    Newbie to Smoking - MES 30 is awesome, and a big thanks to everyone on these forums

    smoking cheese in mes

    Ok so here is what I do. I get a 2lb chunk of Cabot super sharp white cheddar and cut it in quarters so each piece is about 1/2 lb. I fill my water pan with ice. I put my top rack in my mes with 4 frozen 1 liter bottles. The next shelf down I put my cheese. I usually put my probe thermometer in...

I have some leftover wings in my freezer right now. When I eat them I will pass on info on how they held. Also thanks smokinb...

    frozen smoked meat

    So I have noticed when you smoke meat and freeze it, it really intensifies the smokiness. Has anyone else noticed this? I have a friend that used a small piece of smoked pork in his green chili and it really made the smoke flavor permeate the whole batch of chili. Best green I've ever eaten. Is...

    couple ?'s on a prime rib

    Barefoot is a nice, inexpensive wine for drinking and cooking. I used the merlot in my au jus because that's what I had laying around. Followed jimmy's recipe and it was awesome. I pulled at 130 and let rest for about a half hour while I made the au jus. Then reheated in the au jus to order. My...
