The great Debate. Does Wild Game benefit from hanging and aging like beef does or not?
Knew when I saw you were a fellow dog person you would have a sense of humor! -

Geez! I see you're in Alberta! I hear it gets a little chilly up there! You may get more stable temps. hanging your deer in the living room! -
fishy smell or taste?
I do large trout all the time using this salmon recipe. Lake trout will be just as good. All I ever use is hickory. I've never noticed any carry over smell, & I never clean my smoker. It smells like smoke. I do use diff. racks for meat & fish... -
Char-broil 14202002 Electric.
Hi Steve, A lot of elec. smokers have the same problem. They put out smoke well during the preheat, when the element is running hot to heat the box but once it starts cycling on & off not enough heat to keep the chips smoldering or they burn so slow you don't get much smoke. Also most have very...- sb59

Major MES fail
Can't say why it failed but from the amount of threads with Masterbuilts tripping GFI circuits from moisture getting in until running a while to dry them out, & the number of posts with similar burned units, I could take a guess that many models are not properly sealed from moisture & possibly...- sb59

Mr T's "Smoked Salmon From Go to Show" w/Q-View
I always package & freeze like size pieces for the freezer until I get enough for smoking. Small whole fish separated according to size. Large fish I fillet freeze tail sections together, separate belly sections for another pack & finally the larger loin sections together. I 1st wrap in saran... -

MES 20070610
Best research is to check this site & see how these guys like their smokers. While I'm OK with my analog I could have gotten a digital model when I figure in the cost of the PID etc. On the plus side when something finally breaks I can replace individual components instead of whole smoker. My...- sb59

Analog MasterBuilt Electric smoker started blowing fuse
Better late then never,I guess! The cord & controller isn't making a complete circuit to draw any power until you connect it to the smoker element, that's why it doesn't trip the breaker. It could be moisture or build up making the connection short out when you connect the two. Try cleaning the...- sb59

MES 20070610
It's a Masterbuilt analog,which I have & goes on sale near that price quite often at many sites. Good basic meat smoker for higher end temps. as is but takes quite a bit of baby sitting to prevent temperature creep. For more versatility you will probably end up doing several modifications as I...- sb59

Masterbuilt electric blowing breaker
Are you sure the outlet was a dedicated circuit? I believe Masterbuilt digital smokers are 800 watts & draw close to 7 amps without the added resistance of an extension cord. Wouldn't take much else on the circuit to cause it to pop. If you have the analog it has a 1500 watt element so you would...- sb59

Getting ready to purchase my first smoker
I recommend you forget the whole idea! You're going to gain 20 lbs., spend all your free time either on this site or cooking,& the smell alone is going to make friends of people you didn't even know lived near you, so no more quiet meals alone! Always a party!- sb59

how long to smoke fish and temp???
The amount of time it takes to smoke depends on the temp you run your smoker. Whatever temp you use FDA safety for fish internal temp is 145. If I don't expect it to get to 140 in 4 hrs. I add a cure to the brine for safety. When I remove my fish from the brine I dry in a dedicated fridge til... -
More Smoked King Salmon
It's just 1 part salt to 4 parts brown sugar. Layer some on the bottom of the vessel, lay the fillets on top & cover with the salt sugar mixture, repeat as if making a lasagna. The liquid comes from the fish as it cures. I saw so many of Craig's posts I had to try it. Works just as well with... -
Rainbow help
Glad it turned out OK. I like mine a bit smokier so I usually use hickory for everything ( apple is pretty mellow ) & start on the lower temp. to give the fish a longer time to absorb smoke. Used to be a bit of a chore with my analog but I just added a plug & play PID & it pretty much stayed... -
More Smoked King Salmon
Thanks for the reply. I usually always smoke as much as I can fit in the smoker and freeze after resting a day in the fridge. I never tried fish, I was afraid it might mush up. I'll try freezing tomorrow some of the trout I smoked today. That's if there is any left after my family gets done...
