    A Lot of U have praised Masterbuilt's customer service, BUT...

    I think that is a fair question Jim.... I am a owner of one, almost 2 years now. Love it, BUT it has left me stranded twice.... Due to the great "Repair" posts on this website it was repaired the first time in about 1 hour & the second time in about 10 minutes. It appears they use less than...

    What kind of stuffer to buy?

    I have the Northern Tool 5# & it has nylon gears. I really like it & so far no problems, but the Grizzly looks the same unit to me as the Northern Tool for about $30 less. I have heard pretty good words about the Grizzly as well.

    How much sausage can hang in a MES 30"

    I have the 30" MES and have done a 10# batch in it before with hog casing size links. I don't remember the distance from the dowels to the base of the smoker, but measure it to make sure. Another thing you can do that seemed to help me when hangin is stuff the length you decide on & use string...

    Cheese In MES?

    I have smoked cheese in my MES with pretty good results, though it takes some work, time & is not a perfect setup. I will set my cheese on a second rack (or screen) right over a large tray of ice cubes. Keep door propped open a little & turn on heat to 100*, then increase by 5* increments until...

    Smoked chicken never got to 180 temp.

    From my experience, chicken is best smoked at a higher temp. Can you get your smoker above 225?... I would suggest trying that... 275 is all I can get on my MES and I typically do chickens @ 250... Skin is like rubber at lower temps, but I take it off anyway. Good Luck!

    Hottest rack on a MES top or bottom

    I too have a "hot spot" in the rear, over the heating element & the top on mine in back seems to get the hotest. I especially noticed it after smoking sausage recently. I would suggest rotating & shuffling your food around to avoid overcooking in areas. I need to get to the "mod's" that have...

    Best first smoked dish?

    I say make a BIG SPLASH and go for the brisket..... I did them on my gas Weber before I got my MES & have yet to have one turn out bad or tough (knock on wood). Although not a ton of them, I have probably done 12-15 in about 3 years. Briskets may need to be cut to fit in the MES though & if that...

    Hard Boiled egg Fattie

    I've done it before..... Trim the ends off the hard-boiled eggs so that they butt together flat & make a long egg tube insert, if that makes any sense? Jim, your breakfast baseballs look mighty tasty! That's now on the "to do" list.

    Food saver rolls that work!

    I just bought these, the price per foot is the lowest I could find, but I have not got them or tried them yet. I use 8" bags almost exclusively & cutting the 24" bags in 1/2 or even 1/3's is what I am planning on doing. $.21 per foot & free shipping...

    Thick Chunk Jerky

    The Best Jerky I have made was with Flank Steak. I cut the chunks thick (maybe 1/2" - 3/4") & use the Hi Mountain original cure. It's as good as any I have bought from a smokehouse, store, etc. You might wanna try it?

    That's what I've got & really like it. Going on 2 years now, with 2 re-wire jobs on the heating element posts. But still love it & lots of great food has been through it. Great Deal

    Grinders

    I also own the Northern Tool model, for about 4-5 months or so. It has worked perfectly for me. Usually small batches 5 -10 lbs. Quick work of it & easy clean up. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...70_36989_36989

    What types of smokers do you guys use for sausage?

    MES...... So easy to control temps..... As mentioned before here though, I also have a "hot spot" back right over element area..... Last batch I did tonight though, I hung them from string on the top rack, all in the middle of the smoker & did not have any "hot spot spots"....
