    simple MES 30 modification for blocks of wood

    I love my MES 30 but I tend to use blocks of wood that don't fit into the hopper that you slide out, and then when you slide it in it can hit larger blocks. So... I fatigued off the hopper from the plug part. It took about one minute of working it. Now the plug is there to control combustion...

    salmon, steelhead, trout simple rub is great

    brine 1 hr. pat dry  lightly coat both sides with olive oil  - if skin is oiled it won't stick to racks rub: cracked black pepper [you can but it cracked from Spice Islands OR it is very easy to crack with a mortar & pestle and way cheaper] dried powdered sage that's all - it is superb!!

    MES 30 exhaust mod caution - nasty residue with exhaust extension

I had done...

    MES 40 can't keep AMNPS lit

    Thanks all for this thread.   I am at 7,000 feet, Sun Valley, Idaho 83353, and I will try getting some vent pipe.  Straight makes more sense to me as any turns will constrict air. Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to attach the vent?  I was thinking some of that metallic tape that is...

    Coffee-cocoa rubbed Tri-tip q-view

    I used a whole tri tip roast [sorry Easterners] with a rub found on this forum, but I let the IT get to 140 so there is rare meat on the thick end and medium on the thin end.  I also add a touch more salt, but the recipe is copied faithfully below.   I cooked it in a MES30 at 224 using apple...
