    Help Me Build My Pig Cooker, Smoker, Gril.... Please....

    Looking good so far.... I use a 30" electric smoker & have no experience cooking over a beast like yours..... Just something I have seen that has always caught my eye is that most every trailer rig I have seen, you would have to almost "bend over" the tires to tend anything on the back. I...

    Bradley or Masterbuilt?

    I have had a MES 30" for about 2 years. I use it a lot & love it. Chips & wood are available just about anywhere & you don't need any special "pucks" that are expensive (Do price them before you buy a Bradley). That said, I have had to repair my MES (electrical connections burn up) 2 times...

    Tender Quick Curing Questions

    The closest things I could find on Morton's website was the one posted by Ron & there are 2 others on there that were similar: Herbed Sausage & Pepperoni, which both call for 1.5 tsp Tender Quick per Pound of meat. DO NOT interchange Prague Powder, instacure (#1 OR #2) for Tender Quick in any...

    bad first chuckie, not worth photo

    Yeah, I would suggest not closing your vent, it will also cause the bad black creosote..... I typically run mine about 3/4 open on that kinda smoke (Chucks-Brisket-Butts-Etc).... 100% when doing sausage. I'm kinda lost, as far as why it would not be tender. Anybody?

    1st Jerkey Question - Moisture

    Good info from ForLuvofSmoke...... I also use the Hi-Mountain cure & seasonings & really like it. I suggest cure no less than the directions state, which is 24 hours. I personally like Flank Steak, cut with the grain, not against it, but that's just me & prefer oven cooked or smoker cooked with...

    bad first chuckie, not worth photo

    I am a MES Onwer & A couple things come to mind here...... Did you mop or baste the Chuck during the smoke?.....Did you add liquid to it when you foiled it?....

    hamburger meats?

    Good topic actually..... I just recently bought a (stuffer) and a grinder, primarily for making sausage , but have ground burger in it also. I recently went to a store called cash & carry & they had a cryovaced package of what was called special ends, or something like that...... It was $1.75...

Take a "Typical" filet of Sockeye or Coho, cover it good with Kosher Salt for 1.5 - 2 hours....... rinse it .....dry it....... and smoke it.... That is the best smoked salmon you can get.... All the other BS is just...

    MES Cover?

    I have the 30" MES and am moving to a new home that does not have a covered smoking area & it will have to be stored outside. Does anyone know of a cover that will fit the 30" MES, if I can not get one from Masterbuilt? Thanks!

    Thinking about a new smoker.. Suggestions?

    I went for the ease of use in the MES. Other than fixing a wiring problem, it has been perfect and going on 2 years now.I would buy another one for the ease, but like the flavor of charcoal a lot!
