    Looking for advice on what smoker to buy

    I would look for a used Smokin-It, Smokin Tex or Cookshack instead of a new ME. Commercial duty vs homeowner quality.

    Dark Ribs with Smokin-It 2

    Try doing a rack cut in half. Season one half only and compare the 2 when done smoking. Next would be to cook a rack without using any wood to see how dark the meat gets. I don't mind the dark color. I use cherry and apple mix when smoking rids, so I expect dark.

    Rib membrane vent

    I pull membrane from middle of rack. Once you get started, it is easy to lift from the middle and get the whole thing off. I also like my ribs to have the meat still on the bones so the bones don't pull out.

    Camping Smoker

    If you could use an electric, Smokin-It has 2 small electric smokers. I have the #1 that I take camping. I have done 3 racks of baby backs ribs (cut in half) in it, a 9# pork shoulder, 2 turkey breasts while camping.

    Best flavor wood for salmon? &Sausage?

    I tried apple and cherry and then found some Alder chunks from a mill in Washington. That Alder is all I use for salmon now.

    Smokin-It Hidden Clog

    When it is cold out, the fats and liquids dripping out can solidify. That will make a mountain that can plug the drain hole also. Don't ask how I know!

    Gouda wheel - six months of aging

    Looks great, I almost got into cheese making but started brewing beer instead.

    Brine-washed asiago for long-term aging

    I just let the cheese drip dry for a few seconds then seal in a bag. Even if there is visible brandy in the bag after sealing, the cheese absorbs the moisture and you won't see it after a couple of days. A couple of years ago I ran out of brandy and sealed a few chunks without doing the brandy...

    Chicken barley with a twist

    We usually had beef roast on sunday. Then on tuesday we would have beef and barley soup (with lots of carrots).

    Santa Has Come...

    I buy enough knives and plates so I can make a dedicated pair for each plate and knife set. I think they stay sharper longer.

    New smoker?

    If you're looking to replace the MES, get an analog Smokin-It. A SI #2 will be a good equivalent to than your MES40.

    Smokin Tex Feedback needed

    My 1400 required some effort to get the latch to close, nothing excessive though. You can bend the latch arm to make it easier but it should still take some effort to make it close.

    Looks good, let us know what you decide needs to be added.

    Do these patio heaters actually work ?

    My favorite bier garten uses ones with a long quartz glass tube that radiates a lot of heat. But like the others say, any wind makes it less effective. Get close enough and you can still get some warming.

    Smokin Tex Feedback needed

    The analog will run at 100 deg, with a fluctuation as it cycles. It won't hold steady like a PID will but you can easily add one. I had a Smokin Tex 1400 that I gave to brother in law, and he loves it.

    Looking for a new smoker

    Look on marketplace or craigslist for a used Smokin-It, Cookshack or Smoking Tex. IF you can't find a used one, get a new Smokin-It.

    New member, electric smoker questions

    Like Steve H asked, "Is your smoker level". Mine had adjustable feet so I could tip mine to the back so it would drain properly,

    New to smoking in Eastern WA

    Don't know which model you have and if you can add a "mailbox mod". That is the one thing I did that made my Masterbuilt a great smoker.

    Instant pots

    I use mine for soups and stews. Go to utensil for gumbo, spaghetti sauce, lentil/bean soups. I hardly cook anything in a pot on the stove anymore.

    Electric suggestion?

    Second what Norwester suggests. I bought my SI #3 with the intent of adding a PID 3 years ago. Still haven't bought a PID yet cause I decided it wasn't needed for my style of smoking.
