Question. After I smoke, do I cover/wrap to rest for five days or leave open? (I smoked three hours last night and going for four-six tonight)

Lol. So much different advice. But I have begun smoking in the evenings. After 7pm and I'm at 70 with a frozen bottle of water in the chamber. In summer I will try hot smoke method or rely on what I freeze. I still have to try pops brine and hot smoke.

It is breezy and temps are below 80 with low humidity. So the bacon goes in for its first cold smoke with a mix of apple and maple woods. Smoker temp is 78 and falling. I'll give it a few hours and smoke it again tomorrow am or evening,

Hi Jeff.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't fathom it.
Welcome! I am new to smoking as well and I too have the MES30. No Bluetooth or fancy window. I do have a Bluetooth multi probe temp/thermometer. The MES30 makes much of smoking easy. I also have the cold smoke attachment. It also...
My awesome local BBQ joint smokes them 250 and then gives the a quick flash fry to give awesome crisp skin. This will be how I do my next wing smoke.

I have the leg kit on my MES30 and used 3" pipe to connect. I'll be adding a 2' straight pipe to keep the temp down more.

Woohoo, fry test done on the smallest one and not very salty at all. Looking for a good cold smoke window early tomorrow morning and then again in the evening. I'll set up the probe to monitor chamber temp.

Okay...fry test is underway. I sliced off two slivers and they are in the pan. Fingers crossed they are good to go so I can start smoking tomorrow evening, weather permitting.

Not confused. Just trying to take it in and process. So many personal preferences. But our highs are only getting into the 80s. I think if I cold smoke in the evening in a couple 3-5 HR sessions it should be good.

Oops. I have not cut any to test for salinity. It has been out of the cure air drying for 4-5 days. What would I do if it is too salty at this point? Still soak? I rinsed well for 30 minutes. But didn't cut and cook any.

Cool. Thanks Jodi and Gary. Do you have a wbsite? I have seen Amazon facilitating pimento. I am assuming they are doing it through you as the only importer of the wood.

Thanks for taking an interest redheelerdog
Ten days in the dry cure.
Five days air drying in the fridge.
Hope to begin smoking tonight or tomorrow night as temps in SWFL permit a cold smoke(s)
Then I have three larger pieces (3-4lb each) in the freezer to get curing. I wanted to test and make...
Im not a fan of skin so I cook quarters, breast/wing or just large split breasts with a simple rub of light olive oil and seasoning in the MES with apple/hickory blend at 250F for three hours. No brining. No fussing IT. Temp and time just the way lical jjoint does theirs. (No water in pan or...
THANKS Al! I consider your advice "expert". Thanks for sharing. I need to log on the web to do the points thing. But Points!
