    So What is your Tradition?

    Black eyed peas served over rice, collard greens and jalapeño corn bread on the side. Sometimes we have pork (if extended family is around or if we go to their homes) but traditionally my side of the family will not have much meat other than to season with for this meal. We skip the meat...

    I done messed up about 19 pounds of summer sausage. Any ideas what to do with it?

    I boiled potatoes, carrots, onion, and celery for potato soup last night with garlic, black pepper ... after the potatoes were cooked through I turned off the heat and tossed in some milk, butter, cayenne pepper, and cubed summer sausage. I let it sit for about 20 minutes to cool down and for...

    I done messed up about 19 pounds of summer sausage. Any ideas what to do with it?

    Long story short... I had roughly 19 pounds of ground meat for summer sausage... had a spice kit for 25 pounds... didn't think much about it in a hurry I dumped it all in..... smoked it, came out perfect looking. Pulled it out a day later to package and decided to sample... smells awesome but...

    Got to hot, need advice

    Cheese balls for the win! Wowza I managed to turn a lemon into lemonade! Truley thought the cheese was a goner, so glad I didn’t toss it and instead came here for some advice. I took the food processor out and combined a few recipes to make own. Here is what I did: The equivalent to...

    Got to hot, need advice

    Got caught up on the phone and when i went to go look it was too late. Very windy and I guess it just made it through the chip tube and caused it to reignite. I usually set up a remote temp sensor but failed to do so. I’ve done it so much without any trouble I got a little too relaxed and...

    Pre mixed seasonings for Summer sausage etc Survey

    I in the past have used many brands. Most people seemed to like them all but I got rave reviews from the batch I made using Gander Mountain’s house brand SS seasoning kit. It was the best hands down. I liked that it contained mustard seed as many I’ve tried don’t. I have yet to write...

    Got to hot, need advice

    Welp i put 12 blocks of cheese on as I have done in the past, but something was different. I used a smoke tube in my mes that was not plugged in. It must have got too much air and the chips must have ignited and heat climbed. One row farther away from the tube didn’t melt but was done...

    New MES 140b smoker, got a few questions

    Bear that is what I meant... This is what you originally told me "We don't have a Gen number for that one or the new Hybrids, at least not yet" So I was wondering if this has become a new standard style model and if it has a gen number now that I can refer to when I need to ask questions...

    Does anyone use the MES cold smoker attachment?

    I know most people here are using the amazing tube or trays with their MES smokers. I am not loving the idea of another fuel type and having to use pellets. I produce a lot of my own wood shavings from my own trees. I have peach,pecan, oak and pear. I am interested in doing cheeses. Currently...

    New MES 140b smoker, got a few questions

    Did anyone ever come up with a “name” for this style mes40? Is it still being sold in this form or has MES changed it up in the last 6 months or so?

    Found a sale on brisket now what !?!

    Chilerelleno, I think I will do just that, smoke it whole then break down in 3rds. Eat one and vacuum seal the other 2 individually. I like the idea of warming them back up in the bag suis vide style. I have some beef broth I could defiantly put a little in when sealing them. I can cook...

    Found a sale on brisket now what !?!

    Well almost a consensus on how to handle it. I will for sure follow bear carvers direction. He knows his que and has helped me in the past with both my old smoker and with making sausage. Maybe half’s would be better and just plan on left overs (brisket sandwiches for a day or two doesn’t...
