    My MES died.

    I ordered the parts I needed off a website called Appliance factory parts. They had a package bundle that included all the parts I needed all together including the heating element, pig tails of wire with spade connectors to hook to the element, and wire nuts to connect to the existing wires. I...

    My MES died.

    Parts came today. I had taken a few minutes last week and tore the parts that needed to come out apart. Had a little time today so I proceeded to tackle the repairs. Less than a half hour later, my MES is alive again. This I have to give thanks to everyone that gave advice for. Plugged it...

    My MES died.

    Thanks guys. I think I’m gonna stick with getting this one back up and running first. Once working again, I may spend time researching pids, but for now back to normal will be good enough. I may add the pid someday.

    I’m just happy someone had an answer that gave me a place to start. Parts ordered, and hopefully back up and running soon. Thanks guys

    My MES died.

    Honestly, I agree with you John. Every time I use that thing, even though I love using it, I feel like I’m some day going to be half way through a smoke only to find it DOA! Especially if I were mid smoke on a batch of sausage, that might be disastrous.

    My MES died.

    Thanks @tallbm. I think I found the problem right off. I started by taking the access panels (2 of them) off to inspect what was behind them. Figured it’s not working as is, worst I can do is have a smoker that still doesn’t work. Here’s what the back panel looks like and what I found...

    My MES died.

    Last weekend, the last one prior to Labor Day weekend, I was all set to smoke some wild hog ribs from my GA wild pig I shot this past March. I took the whole rack, along with a pack of store bought ribs out of the freezer earlier in the week, and Sunday late morning got them all rubbed down and...

    Pork Shots

    Thanks guys. They did turn out pretty good, but I think next time I’m gonna go with a good thick cut bacon, and I liked the cheese choices, but I may try adding a little jalapeño jelly to the cream cheese and mix that together and form a little ball to add to the tops. The smoke was a bit...

    Pork Shots

    Sure. I took a good kielbasa, cut 3/4 inch medallions, wrapped them with bacon, putting the medallions at the bottom of the bacon wrap and secured with toothpicks. On top of the kielbasa, in the pocket formed by the bacon, I added the different types of cheese each were roughly 1/2 inch cubes...

    Pork Shots

    I have seen these mentioned several times throughout the forums. Quite regularly, they are mentioned as an appetizer for big events. I thought they looked good, so I thought I’d try em. Here’s a couple pics of my try. A few were pepper jack, a few cheddar, and a few with cream cheese. The...

    Wild Hog

    Thanks indaswamp. I have to agree that they look a lot leaner, and most likely tougher. I definitely plan to cook it all thoroughly along the way for that very reason. And yes, glands are removed and a little extra fat around them to make sure I get the whole thing. Definitely a little more...

    Wild Hog

    Thanks Jack. And I agree. A statement on a hunting show I watched said suffering makes memories, and memories make hunting fun. And this is definitely going to be a memory. KS

    Wild Hog

    Hey all, For those of you that know me through my posts, I’m an avid deer hunter and spend a lot of time using my smoker to make my own venison products. You may have also seen my posts about other things I’ve smoked, too. Especially my pulled pork. Well, this last week, I spent on vacation...

    Thanks chopsaw, I won’t disagree. Doing something properly doesn’t always mean doing it quick. He did do a nice job. Warren, thanks. And he is looking at my other one. Not nearly as big, but the first decent buck I got with a bow. They stare at each other now. Haha Tex. He jumped and...

    Thanks Bear. I believe i sent you a pm with a pic of this deer back a few days after I harvested him. I think we were discussing dried venison at the time. It is a great feeling to have a nice one hanging on the wall, but I agree with you. Meat tastes much better than those antlers and...
