    Jerk Chicken on MBS: how long on smoke vs grill, and should I try allspice berries mixed in the chips?

    I've got the chicken parts marinating, and I'm trying to make a plan. I've never had actual smoked jerk, but my feeling is a heavy smoke is not what this is about. I was thinking 1.5 hrs at 250 with peach chips, then the grill to crisp and color. One place I read said mixing fruitwood and...

    Adding extra heat element to MES?

    My 30" unit heats fine in moderate weather but if it's cold and windy out can't maintain 250. Without going all in and doing a PID and new elements, I was thinking I could add a simple 'always on' element to give it the lift it needs. One thought is a simple 1500W element on a Variac controller...

How big chips does it make? I've been making...

    Brining and smoking whole small fish?

    I've done plenty of blue fillets, but never whole fish. I've searched recipes for whitefish, thinking that's a pretty common fish to see smoked whole, but not found much. What I'm thinking of smoking is porgies, AKA scup in New England. A chef/fisherman friend (with a youtube channel, can I...

    Any interesting MES-30 mods (besides AMNS) to get good smoke at low heat and not make charcoal?

    I've read a lot of the threads about the MES-30 not burning wood to ash but creating charcoal. This is my problem, especially at low heat like 180 for fish (got a batch of bluefish in right now). My unit is only 2 years old, and does not have the plate between the element and tray. I was...
