    I was able to get a response via Facebook Messenger. They told me to stay tuned for restocking information.

    MES Slow Smoker Availability?

    Thanks. I tried that. Looks like it doesn't even go through. If it did, they haven't responded.

    MES Slow Smoker Availability?

    Anyone know if MES discontinued their Slow Smoker? It is "sold out" everywhere. MES doesn't have a way to contact them to ask.

    I thought I could just pump the AMNPS right into my MES? No?

    Help with smoking breakfast sausage to freeze for future use

    How can I smoke breakfast sausage (without a cold smoker) and freeze to cook in a skillet later on? Currently, I smoke around 220 for an hour or 2 and quick finish in a skillet. They turn out great. But I want to smoke some for the freezer so I don't have to spend time smoking later on. Any...

    I think so. Otherwise the element may overheat and burnout. I put foil over the element/chip tray to keep it clean.

    Smoked Venison Back Strap Medallion Suggestions?

    I have back strap medallions that I'm going to marinate and wrap with a piece of bacon. But I was thinking about throwing a smoke on it before finishing on the grill. Any suggestions on time and temp before finishing on the grill? Thanks in advance!

    Wood type for summer sausage?

    I haven't cut into the summer sausage yet but I'm very happy with the kielbasa! Went with hickory. Started at 130 with no smoke. Then 140 with smoke. Bumped it 10 degrees every hour until 170/175...about 6 hours total (a little longer for the kielbasa) Pulled the summer sausage at 135 IT and...

    Wood type for summer sausage?

    I decided to mix up kielbasa instead of the 100% pork summer sausage. Also mixed the venison summer sausage. Going to stuff tomorrow and smoke Sunday.

    I made some breakfast sausage over the weekend with the gun. The sausage stuffer is easier but only if you have the right size tube. The gun is easier to clean. But if you're making more than a pound, the stuffer is the way to go. I bought edible collagen casings from LEM. No prep at all. Just...

    Snack Stick Help Please

    Hi all. I have follow up questions on my snack sticks. Original post: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/first-timer-snack-sticks.279512/ I took a snack stick out of the freezer today (was vacuum sealed) and let it defrost. The collagen casing pulled away from the meat. I know, based on...

    I found a 1/2" O/D tube at Walton's Inc that should be compatible with my stuffer. Should work well with 19mm casing. Looks like the one my stuffer came with is 11/16". Thanks for the tips!
