    cleaning your mes 30?

    O.K.!  My turn. First; here is why I now have an MES 30 analog and CLEAN the unit after every use and will NEVER again have LP gas. I always see macho "city" fellas, trailering their ATVs back home, caked in mud, like it's a badge or medal but the same guys wash and polish their cars and will...

    Why is Winter Time preferred for smoking sausage?

    The number one cancer in Poland according to the Cancer Society, is stomach cancer; courtesy of smoked meats. Argue the point with them. I have NOTHING to prove. Real men, do not ingest smoked meats in, "moderation".   I always   out. As for "well water" and "arsenic"; do you still have a...

    Master Built Smokers

    Make that "ADD" 30 degrees to the doors temperature  to find what you are actually cooking at. I've been up mowing and sweating since 4 a.m. Break time! KK

    Master Built Smokers

    Karl, I am on my 4th smoke box in 50 years and the MES 30 is the best for me. I wrote "for me" because I realize the propensity for some to trash the opinions of others. I purchased mine for $160, free shipping from the River Country Store. I have had boughten and homemade smokers that were...

    Anybody see the Tony Bordain show where the butcher was stuffing sausage with his bare hands?

    Thank you S-Y.  The video finally opened. I do not have TV, so I put the U-tube collection in my favourites for future viewing.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I know what they are doing and I have done it that way too but not with such alacrity and only when finishing-up.  It's not rocket...

    Karl; Your avatar. Is that your dog CW?  Here's mine. She plays soccer.  If she is 500 yards away and smells the smoker going, in no time at all, she is under-foot.

    Why is Winter Time preferred for smoking sausage?

    Gee!     That's alot of "us" and "we".     I guess that tells me?     O.K..  I won't.        BUT.............................I will send flowers.

    Thank you for the gratutude folks. I have to warn you though. I call it , "a peasant's breakfast". We always have it for breakfast and have to skip lunch. We never feel like having lunch. It has a way of filling you up until dinner. We have it with fried eggs, horse radish, BLACK BREAD, coffee...

    Anybody see the Tony Bordain show where the butcher was stuffing sausage with his bare hands?

    I wish I could have seen his method. I am not familiar with the show and anyway, I do not have TV. I wrote and illustrated an article on sausage making for a British magazine many years ago. Never kept a copy. I featured the hand stuffing method we used. How about this:  Slip the casing on the...

    Well I feel better now that I have had the opportunity to pass the recipe on to REAL sausage makers. Just call it "Podsadzie Kielbasa" (Orchard Nook Kielbasa) from whence it came to America. Yo! Ole Yaller:  When it reads "whole" and then says "grind"....begin with whole. Otherwise the spice is...

    Anybody see the Tony Bordain show where the butcher was stuffing sausage with his bare hands?

    That's how I grew-up doing it. 5 lbs of meat uses 11' of casing, as six 18" rings, weighing about 3/4 lbs each. Read my thread to JimmyJ & Boykjo. KK

    I only say that because we have been corresponding. Obviously, all are welcome. Up front, I have to say that the only poison here is sodium and it is used sparingly. As I sit here reflecting, I realized that I have never smoked this kielbasa. Probably because the recipe has been in my family...

    Why is Winter Time preferred for smoking sausage?

    USDA guidelines are all well and good BUT............if you are not going to risk health by using a "cure", you are going to risk health by not using a "cure".  That's why they make vanilla and chocolate. Sauzeech his own!  Rytek Kutas, spells it out simply in his Bible: "Sodium Nitrate - A...

    Sausage holder For MES 30 & 40

    I just slip the bottom two grates, to either side of the top grate in my 30 and notch some oak dowels.

    Why is Winter Time preferred for smoking sausage?

    Anytime is good if you live in the Arctic. Otherwise you are fooling with botulism. You can get away with very small batches if the weather cools, like late evening or some nights but I myself, start late October and run through March. You cannot let it stand around while you are mucking about...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    http://www.rivercountry101.com/servlet/the-template/policy/Page     River Country Store has a 1250 watt for $28.95 with free shipping. Good to deal with. I'm very happy with them. I don't know where you can get a 1600 but some use a 1650. My MES 30 has a 1500.
