    Bradley Racks?

    In the latest newsletter Jeff uses Bradley Racks for the spiral cut smoked hot dogs.  Not knowing what Bradley Racks are, I did a google search and see that they're a mesh rack for the Bradley smokers.  I have an MES 40 but like the look of the mesh for certain applications -- especially the...

    When to foil BBs 2-2-1

    I ran into some trouble with my electric outlet when using my Analog MES 30.  Now I'm not sure just how long they were cooking before the power went out.  I've got it going again with an extension cord but is there a way to tell when to foil them based on looks, feel, temp?   Thanks! Debbie

    BBs at dinner time

    I'm planning to do BBs for dinner tonight.  Since I'm having company I want to serve at a specific time.  After reading a lot of posts on 2-2-1 for BBs and needing to adjust based on how my cooker's cooking it sounds like I need to be prepared for anything from 4 to 5 hours.  If I start with the...

    My sausage making weekend

    It was forecast to be a rainy and chilly weekend in upstate NY so I decided to do some sausage making.  I'm very much a novice, only having made Italian & breakfast sausage previously.  So I settled on 6 recipes, bought 30+ lbs. of pork, 4 lbs. of chicken, and made sure I had all the spices I...

    Hello from upstate NY

    Hi all.  I'm a newbie to this whole world of smoking and am hoping all you experts can help steer me in the right direction.  I bought a MES 30 analog and have done a little experimenting with it.  Nothing too courageous but enough to get my feet wet.  I also recently bought a meat grinding and...
