    Fire in the Hole.....But no Smoke

    Should have mentioned that this is a Masterbuilt and it doesn't have a smoke mode. Just read in another post about using a cast iron skillet directly on the heating element so that might be a solution

    Another Masterbuilt Problem

    Amish Mustard Eggs ...My Mom said to share this with you guys...

    My first batch didn't last long so another batch was in order. I didn't have enough French mustard so I substituted a tablespoon of some designer mustard the wife likes. All I can say is, don't do it! A lot of the mustard flavor is lost and they aren't as good.
