    Smoked Polish Sausage - serving ideas

    ZIMNO NOGIE SWIN. Show them what a real man eats.  My family would hit the pan like hogs to a trough. Smoke them first, for that added touch of refinement. It's "pinky out" food.

    Keep Getting Logged Out!

    Sorry....but I am about to say "GOOD BYE".  This site keeps shutting me down, kicking me off, telling me that, "out of memory line 9", out of memory line 26", etc.. It's a pain in the pratt. It happens nowhere else on the net. I am tired of it. KK

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Ahoy Captain!  You have to keep water in the bilge as I do with a baking pan. I begin with it in place and fill it with a pot of boiling water so that it already has a head of steam. Of course I also have an external smoke generator that I made from a pressure cooker but the rig sails along for...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I put some charcoal briquettes in my MES with the wood chips to start the smoke process. I do not understand your not getting the "flavor" you were looking for with the MES. (?).  Flavour comes from marinade. We marinade. Flavour comes from rub. We rub. Flavour comes from wood smoke. We...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I just realized that my 30" MES is 1650 watts.  I will no longer entertain an LP unit or a charcoal burner. I even had a stick burner in the past. No more open flames for me. No more gas tanks. No grease flare-ups; not that I ever had one. I scrub the beast after every use. This is my 4th smoker...

    Brand New 30" MES Door Seals Leaks Smoke

    I'm just reading backwards in time to see what has been going on and saw this, which is probably a dead issue but I used fiberglass rope and stove cement from a wood stove store.

    Expected Erroneous Temp Readings

    You know, I hear this all of the time. However my Masterbuilt 30 is EXACTLY on the money as was the Great Smokey Mountain I just lost in a fire. I guess i am one of the lucky ones or maybe the ONLY lucky one.

    30" MES smoker is not smoking, 20070910.

    The rope is fiberglass. A store that sells woodstoves has them in different thickness. Get the very thin and attach it with a tube of gasket cement. NEXT: Buy this size pump. Not smaller. Start charcoal fire in colander, outside of pot..then add wood...when it catches...heap it in and with the...

    30" MES smoker is not smoking, 20070910.

    Yes, I have the same unit and I was puzzled as to why he couldn't achieve any smoke. I've never had that experience. As for the gasket, it holds the heat in so much better. The smoke too. No leaks around the door. It even pushes it out the analog fitting. I rarely resort to the original chip...

    30" MES smoker is not smoking, 20070910.

    Really?  Mine reaches 400 but I installed a rope gasket.  With the ambient @50 +- I have no problem.  KK

    Ramping up the pulled pork.

    As a collective response: Yes, they are memorably good and we look foward to "leek-time". The bugs this time of year, cut down on the pleasure of digging. You have to hit the woodlot early. They are a popular Appalachian Mountain chain plant but can be found, I understand, around at least in...

    Ramping up the pulled pork.

    Saturday, the wife and I went into the woodlot and dug wild leeks. That's what we call the wild onion locally. They have a bite and garlic flavour...for those who are not familiar with them. Some call them "ramps" which comes from the Elizabethian dialect of early English immigrants into the...

    Dead Maple in back yard

    I'm in the mountain of NY and heat with wood. When the leaves are off, the sap is down. Time to fell the tree. Middle of January, we have the "January thaw". Sap at it's lowest. Then it begins to rise. Trees you cut, split and stack with just a top cover (no all over tarp) will be seasoned to...

    Well I started off O.K..

    Nice fish Al. "Man Cave" is right. I never gave it a thought. It is; isn't it?  My wife stays out of it. She would rather be fishing in our pond.
