    Dried Fish

    Hi Dave and thank you very much for the useful information. I've used nitrites in wine making, I'm not worried about them. I will experiment with the drying process. Happy smoking! Adam

    Dried Fish

    Thank you very much, neighbor [I'm in ID]. I'm not sure what the "cure #1 at 150-175 ppm" is - - is that parts per million? How would I calculate that? Adam

    Dried Fish

    Hi All and happy new year! I've not posted in a long time but I do read things. I have a MES 30 electric. A friend says she takes dried fish on backpacking trips. Are there any threads on drying fish [I assume that is past the jerky stage], safety, etc. that anyone remembers? Alternatively...

    First fattie

    Excellent job!  I haven't made these in about three years but I'm inspired tonight.  I may do a layer of herbed rice in there to give it some other element. Adam

    Smoked Turkey on a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker (MES).

    First turkey in MES 30. I just did a sixteen pounder.   I put it on a vertical beer-can style rack with some aluminum foil around the bottom of it to make sure it did not tip over.  [You can see the foil in pic 1]  It fit easily and fine in an MES 30.   I am sure I could easily fit a 18 pounder...

    Smoked Turkey on a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker (MES).

    Hi ATS32 why do you have the MES so high?   I'm going to do my first turkey in an MES, about 19 lbs.   I had assumed to use about 225 degrees... have you tried turning up the heat for the last hour or so? Also do you try to get your turkey to room temp before smoking? thanks!  Adam Sun...

    Convert propane to charcoal grill

    did you ever do this?  My Weber is dead and I've tried repairing it to no avail... what about lining the bottom with fire-hardened brick pavers with spaces so the ash can fall through?

    Attempting To Smoke Trout

    I've tried using a longer brine in 4 parts brown sugar to one part salt.  I am sold.  I used to do one hour in salt water.  Overnight in the fridge in the sugar/salt brine brings the flavor to a new level.   Adam

    Attempting To Smoke Trout

    both!  I often smoke trout if someone invites me to dinner.  That gets eaten warm.  I also refrigerate it and eat it cold.  It is great as a protein element for an arugula or kale salad. It keeps about two weeks in fridge. Try lavender and rosemary, it has a great Mediterranean taste.  Based...

    Sunday PM Salmon

    Sorry not to reply sooner Cmayna.   I'm not sure how to form a pellicle.  I rub the fish top and bottom with olive oil before putting the rub on. I have found that simpler is better with smoking fish.  I always use a bit of black pepper, and this one with rosemary and lavender came out really...

    MES 30 contact repair with R-view

    Thanks Jted - Home Depot and Lowes only have aluminum connectors with vinyl covers, and they are not wide enough to go over the spade connector.   Good thoughts, I may pick up a couple just to have if the solder does not hold. Scotch 33 is the best.   Cheap electrical tape is worthless.

    MES 30 contact repair with R-view

    Thanks, I did not realize the blade was stainless.  I had a bit of trouble at first getting the solder to adhere to the stainless, maybe because it was internally fluxed solder, but I was trying to keep it simple. Happy smoking!

    MES 30 contact repair with R-view

    Hi GT the MES 30 is about three years old.  I live in a quite cold climate [23f this a.m.] so I think it gets a bit of condensation when used.    I bought it on Amazon for $187,
