    Birthday smoker

    Thanks guys!! Yeah Al I plan on only sausage & cold smoking for the MES. I just can't give up the WSM I love it for hot smoking. If everything goes well I will have it seasoned this weekend & maybe a small trial of pork. Reading as much as I can on the MEC before I start. There's a lot here!!
