    Beef hot dogs 1st time

    They tasted really good. Kind of a cross between a hot dog and a snack stick. Didn't get a pic of them bunned.. Was too busy eating them and the deer brats. Sorry, I'm a pig. Stuffed these in sheep casing. What a pain!

    Beef hot dogs 1st time

    First time making hot dogs. Used all beef, didn't emulsify as the groind burger was already pretty fine grind. Used sausage maker weiner seasoning, cure #1, and soy protein. Mixed and stuffed then in fridge overnight. Smoked until 135 degrees and then poached to 165. Turned out good.

    Dang stall!

    Yeah, I have a good chamber probe, just didn't pit it in since I had it set at 275. Can I run the temp up higher on the digital thermostat on the masterbuilt without hurting it? Still trying to learn this thing. Obviously haven't done much with it yet. On a side note the chicken was good...

    Dang stall!

    Pulled and in oven to finish. New at this masterbuilt smoker. Anyone have and idea what went wrong? Everything I read said I should have had them done in 2-2.5hrs. I did have a drip pan underneath. There was about 2" on the ends open and about 1/2" front and back. Used the chip tray for smoke.

    Netting size for back bacon

    Yep. Figured that was how you did it. You said #4 netting. Did you mean #14? Shows in Sausage Maker catalog that size has a 4" working diameter

    Hello from Missouri

    Welcome from south central Missouri!

    Do you strap down your MES?

    Yikes! We have bears here in Missouri now. Had one in front yard a couple years ago. Don't need one on back porch! Forgot to mention my back deck is @ 5 feet off ground. Wind has never bothered the charcoal kettle grill but has blown other stuff off the porch? Go figure.

    Do you strap down your MES?

    Planning on using my new MES 40" smoker on my back deck. Going to put some trager drip pan liners under it to catch any drips or burning pellet. But, when I store it I'm wondering about wind. How many here strap their smoker down to keep wind from blowing it over?

    Trail bologna problem and question

    I had some venison given too me last year by a friend who had it processed at a local butcher shop. After a few days it looked worst green than that? Threw the rest out and still have the rest of the log in the freezer. I didn't trust it so I'm going to throw it out.
