    I'll try to snap some pictures this weekend of the jerky I make.. I just picked up a meat slicer last night so hopefully I can get my slices nice and uniform for the jerky.

    New guy from WI, and I bring Q-View!

    Has anyone ever built a cabinet around their MES?

    Just wondering if anyone has ever built a cabinet around their MES. I am thinking about it cause I want it on rollers and up higher a little bit. Might cut down on the wind effecting the temp times too. Just a thought, I wanted to run it past the guys that know their MES's like the back of...

    Time to upgrade...

    I bought an MES 2 weeks ago and love it. Last weekend after I seasoned I did a pork butt and a fatty. This weekend I did 3 racks of ribs, a pastrami and a 9x13 pan of Dutch's beans and still had more rack room. After everything was cooked, I scaled the temp down to 150 and smoked jerky for 4...

    My Smoke Daddy install on a new MES 40" using the wood chip loader

    I've been thinking about doing the same thing with my new 40" MES. I am going to start doing more sausage, jerky and cheese so I would really like to do a smoke daddy for colder smokes. I also read that you can use a Cambels soup can which is supposedly the same size as the chip loader.

    How do you monitor different cuts?

    I'm not against buying another setup. Just wondering what other people are doing. Was thinking about an ET-7 since it has 2 meat probes and coupled with my ET-73 which has 1 meat probe and 1 smoker probe. With this dual monitor setup I effectively can monitor 3 cuts and the smoker temp. Just...

    How do you monitor different cuts?

    That is a good idea.. I am more or less looking to monitor 3 pieces of meat at a time though, no switching probes. I would like to have alarms for each so I can do over night smokes without having to switch probes and what not.

    How do you monitor different cuts?

    Just wondering what everyone is using to monitor different cuts on their smoker? I just purchased a Maverick ET-73 and am going to try it out this weekend. I wanted to do an overnight smoke tonight but I want to do a brisket and a pork butt. But back to the question, what do you guys use for...

    Last weekend in February, Whats Smokin'?

    I can't wait for baseball!!! That said, this weekend I am going to be smoking a left over pork butt probably Friday into Saturday and then Sunday I am thinking about doing some baby backs, Dutch's beans and maybe some ABTs. Throw in a fatty either Friday or Sunday too probably.

    Question on MES baffle

    I'd like some more input about this. I might try it with a baffle this weekend. I put in my meat on Sunday and never moved it and it seemed like the right side cooked faster. Maybe I just think it did because of the comments here but it really did seem like it cooked faster on one side.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I just purchased my MES 40" 1200 watt with window from Sam's this past weekend. I have completed one smoke on it so far and have many more planned! I am going to build a UDS as well so I will be able to compare them. I chose the MES right now because I am having trouble finding a barrel and I...

    need some advice on MES

    I just bought mine this past Saturday, seasoned it Saturday night and did my first smoke on Sunday. I love it. The temperature shoots right back up after the door is closed and its really easy to smoke with.

    OK you sausage gurus -have a ?? for you...

    I just tried to do a little research and came up with nothing. Might give the brats a bit of sourness? a little twang if you will..

    My plan see if yoiu agree or would change

    If your going for a meal type you could go with a bigger pepper, say a poblano, instead so you can fill in more. I think I saw someone just smoked chili reyenos, kinda the same deal, just different filling.

    OK you sausage gurus -have a ?? for you...

    I grill my brats first then toss them in a aluminum pan with a couple beers, stick of butter and some onions. Then in a separate pan I'll put some cut up red, green and yellow peppers with a few onions and some butter, CBP and some garlic. I let both simmer on the grill till the peppers are...
