    MES 30 element done

    If those wires go to the heating element or anything with a resistance that builds heat you shouldn't be soldering. Use high heat wire nuts & shrink tubing.

    no smoke

    Hello! I assume you are looking for advice. Need more info. Which mod. Masterbuilt? Digital or analog. If it's the analog be sure chip tray & water tray are in the correct rack positions. The chip pan goes in the one that touches the element. Use dry chips. You may have to place the pan directly...

    Master Built 30" analog smoker won't smoke.

    Hi guys, I've been using the MBA for years & if you want to get smoke all the time you must remove the rack that holds the chip tray and put the tray directly on the element. Dry chips or dust work best & if you want longer smoke changing chips less use 2 pans. One dry & one damp. This smoker...

    Meat drippings

    I would think above, below, or in the beans it shouldn't matter as long as you get both up to 140 in a short enough time to kill the little parasites !

    Pickerel....does anybody do anything with them?

    Now all you got to do is find a take out willing to trade! You would be surprised what fish lovers are willing to trade for real fresh fish. Years ago I used to trade extra American eels for pizza at one place and fancy carp for a bar tab in another. ( He had a large fish tank behind the bar.)

    Oops! Accidentally left a salmon fillet sitting in the smoker over night!!

    Depends on how dry you made it or how cold the temps were overnight. When in doubt throw it out! And that doesn't mean feed it to the dog!

    Summer sausage maximum cabinet temperature

    Yes, a temp. stall is not uncommon. I have read it is due to the meat sweating out moisture and actually cooling the product. The internal temps. will eventually begin to rise. I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable guys on this site can explain it better!

    Smoking asian carp, looking for advice.

    http://www.outdoorhub.com/how-to/2015/01/09/eat-invasive-7-simple-asian-carp-recipes/ Never judge a fishes table quality by it's reputation. Bluefish, monkfish "angler fish" , sea robins etc. all had bad reps. You'll never know til you try a few recipes.

    Summer sausage maximum cabinet temperature

    I think they don't want the responsibility of asking someone to keep their oven going at 165-180 for upwards of 6 hrs. When I 1st started making summer sausage I tried some of the higher temp recipes, and while edible it came out more like cold meat loaf then a summer sausage. I've found a...
