    Mr T's "Smoked Cheese From Go To Show" w/ Q- View

    Going to give smoked cheese/butter a try for a first time tonight, bought blocks of mild and sharp cheddar, mozz, pepper jack, colby, monterey jack, and some butter all to throw in the smoker. Nice and chilly here in Iowa, so they'll go in the MES30 (unplugged) with the AMPNS. Plan of attack...

    Reheating Leftover Bird

    I've got quite a bit of vac sealed, frozen bird left over after 3 Turkey days knocked out (Sunday before last [smoked, spicy cajun], Turkey day itself [1 fried, injected creole butter, 1 smoked light heat cajun], and last Sunday [smoked, savory rub] )   So of course, the next question becomes...

    Electric Smoker

    I'm in Iowa and use a MES30 throughout the year, works pretty well in the winter but I do move it back and forth from storage in the garage. If its 20+ mph winds I use a range box as a windbreak. Beyond that, no blanket or insulation.

    Snack Sticks 101

    Would probably suggest an 80/20. Personally mine was around an 85/15 and I'll probably add some pork next time to get it a bit fattier.

    It's that time of year again...Win a prize a day from A-MAZE-N Products through 11/22!

    Would love to win that grand prize. Turkey day just wouldn't be the same without my uncle's chocolate apple pie.

    First time turkey smoke

    As David said, toss the smoker to 275, personally I usually plan for 7 hours even though this is overkill, as I know if it gets done early I can always wrap in foil and towels and throw in the cooler as a faux Cambro. As far as chips, go for what you enjoy. Last year I went with a mix of cherry...

    Cowboy Beans

    Ha, I know I know. Got 'convinced' (blackmailed?) by SWMBO into joining her babysitting the niece this weekend, otherwise these were on my to do list already. May still happen, but we'll see if I can get the time and I'll definitely put up some qview to make everyone else drool.

    Smoke Rollin in From Iowa

    Long overdue, but decided I should have probably done this awhile back and might as well play catch up now.  I'm from Iowa, long standing Hawkeye, snagged a MES30 Sept 2013 on a whim (and a good deal) and decided to get my hands dirty, haven't looked back since. The family loves to convince me...

    Cowboy Beans

    It's more on the sweet/savory side, with a mild kick due to the mustard/bp/cp, since that's how my grandma and mom always liked it (the molasses does a lot to influence that with a good tang). I've never personally tried to spice it up since its always been done for family gatherings, but...

    Going to put in a recommendation for spinach dip, perfect to match it up with some day old jimmy johns bread.

    Cowboy Beans

    Had someone mention they were interested in the recipe, so figured I would toss it up here for everyone's pleasure. I'll post up pictures probably at Thanksgiving when I get an excuse to make em next time, for now your imagination (or your own kitchen) will have to do. Every time my mom made...

    Smoking in Minnesota Winters

    I've always used a range/washer box around my MES30 in order to block the wind and keep it insulated, just ensure its not directly touching the MES and you're fine, although that is mostly paranoia since I've never had issues with the outside of the MES being too hot to touch, let alone hot...
