    Hitting a stall while smoking sausage?

    Glad it worked out! I use sawdust in my Mblt. analog and many times my smoker in warm weather will run around 170 just from the smoking dust in my smoke gen. and the element doesn't come on til near the end of the sawdust.

    Points?

    Now that I know what they are I went back to some threads and gave out some points to some of the people that have helped me in the past. Shut me down after 10, so sorry if I slighted anyone! At least it didn't ask me for my credit card #

    Looking for a new smoker

    Got it. Good idea, but depending how well insulated and vented the smoker it may not get down to a safe resting temp. fast enough. I don't know of one but good luck in your search !

    Hitting a stall while smoking sausage?

    Summer sausage is one thing you must especially fight the urge to bump up the temps. when you hit the stall because whatever you do you don't want the fat in the sausage to break down! I usually just ride it out, next time I'll try the turn down temp. trick! First I've heard of it ! Thank's Dave !

    Maverick Help

    I saw where you placed your therms. in your other thread. One reason for diff. temps. between therms. is def. placement. In your analog the door therm. and your hanging oven therm are getting much more direct heat from air rising along door directly into the therms. The Mav. being placed between...

    Looking for a new smoker

    Why would you need one to kill the heat? If you're not there to remove the product when its done you could end up with something very dangerous to eat depending on what temp. it remains at and how long! This is why even crock pots don't recommend using the keep warm setting for more then 1 hr...

    MES 40 stopped working! Suggestions.......

    If it's out of warranty and you don't have the electrical know how to check parts before you replace them it may cost more to fix then replace! This is why I chose the analog over the digital, much simpler to diagnose and repair. But the trade off is I must tend the smoker a bit more when  cook...

    Anyone cook squirrel?

    I haven't had squirrel in years but when I did I kind of thought they taste like pork. I didn't smoke back then but now I might do them like spareribs. Spice wise I mean, not necessarily cooked as long.

    masterbilt electric smoker

    How big is the pig you're cutting the leg from? Since it's called a 30" smoker because the outside box is 30" high you know you need less then a 30" leg at least. Amazon shows the outside dimensions as 40.2" high including legs, 26.8" deep, & 20" wide. The inside measurements are roughly 25"...

    Maverick temp probes, best way to clean please.

    Isopropyl alcohol wipe. The same way I sterilize before a smoke. If it's really gunky I use a scrubby pad moistened with the alcohol, or you can use some gin or vodka etc.

    masterbilt electric smoker

    Don't see much smoke, as in none! Slide out the rack with the water & chip pan. Place the chip pan directly on the element. Put a disposable pan on a rack below the meat. It will catch the drips & shield the meat from direct infra red heat from the coils.Other wise with the Masterbuilt design...

    masterbilt electric smoker

    Small dry chips ( like Little Chief brand ) or even better saw dust. Make sure chip pan touches heat coil. Type analog in search box and also click on my name for tips and mods. for this model If you don't vent it don't clasp door too tight or you will get much creosote with your smoke!

    Newbie - Fighting through a "stall"?

    5th method, I set the clocks back 2 hrs. at the start of the stall, then I'm actually ahead of schedule!
