    Definitive MES cheese smoke without cold smoking attachment

    Thanks Mel...... That is exactly where I put my AMNPS as well... I like the idea of wrapping the bottom rack with foil, that should keep moisture (if any) from putting out my smoke.  Do you have any idea what the temperature got to inside the smoker?  Does that even matter?  I imagine if you...

    Driedsticks Pretzels with a kick!

    Those are awesome.... Where do you find something like that?  I"m in North Carolina so I'm not sure if a Walmart or something similar has those or do you order them off the internet?  Also not sure what a Qmat is sorry for the stupidity on that one....

    Definitive MES cheese smoke without cold smoking attachment

    So I see that you have an MES 40 as do I.  I am very very interested in cold smoking some cheese.  I'm not sure if it ever goes on sale here in my area however, we have an ALDI's and the prices for a typical brick of cheese is about $1.79... That's not all that bad.... Sorry, I digressed..... ...

    Driedsticks Pretzels with a kick!

    Hey Link..... Question for you with the pretzels.  Did you just use a cookie sheet that fit in your smoker or did you use what I think I read was suggested is a pizza pan with holes in it?  I have an MES 40 however, I do not have a small rectangular pizza pan.  I was thinking I could use some of...

    Venison Snack Stixs with QVIEW

    Yes, it definitely helps.  I'm not sure if it helps my EGO to know that everyone else here struggles and to just keep plugging away or what but it helps...:)  I actually this morning retested my Maverick ET-732 probes and found that the the food probe is about 2-3 degrees high and the bbq probe...

    Venison Snack Stixs with QVIEW

    Thanks for the explanation and directions. I actually attempted to follow nepas directions. I think my maverick et-732 probes are faulty along with a constant battle with my MES 40. The temps just never seem to coincide even on a nice day outside. I did exactly what you stated in your post but...

    Venison Snack Stixs with QVIEW

    So I used a recipe from NEPAS for some Snack stixs.  My son and I did a 10lb batch.  I had some vension and some bison burger so I mixed about 4lbs venison, 4lbs bison and 2 lbs pork fat cap from some boston butts I smoked recently.  I did not have any 19mm or 21mm casings so I tried some 16mm...

    Recommendation on Instant Read Thermometer

    I really think the BBQ probe reads high.  I've tried it on the top rack middle, 2nd rack middle and it fluctuates a lot.  As for the food probe, it's a bit up and down.  I"m always aware to keep it away from the bone and ensure I hit a good portion of meat.  I've tried it all the way in, I've...

    Recommendation on Instant Read Thermometer

    Hey Red, I found some replaceable probes on Amazon.com.  They are together about $30 with free shipping... They are also the 6 FT cords too which is crazy why maverick doesn't just supply those when you spend the $$$ on the unit but it's Corporate GREED at it's finest.  I did calibrate them in...

    Recommendation on Instant Read Thermometer

    My readings seem to jump around to much and sometimes they read high then drop then go back up which tells me something is up with them.  I did a few pork butts this past weekend and the readings were all over the place.  I think they are just getting old and failing plus the conduit where the...

    Recommendation on Instant Read Thermometer

    I currently have the ET-732 Maverick and think I need to get some new probes.  I'm not getting the best readings.  I'd like to know what other instant reads people have bought, liked, hated, would recommend and why. Thank you, Tony
