I picked up this smoker on the side of the road yesterday. I don’t know what model it is, I know that it is a New Braunfels Smoker and that’s it. I couldn’t find it anywhere on the web.
I’ve been using my MES 30 in temperatures below 20 deg. F even below zero. I’ve noticed swings in temperature 30-40 deg. above set temperature it always goes back down to set temperature and below. I believe that over the coarse of the smoke the average temperature is pretty close to what I was...
I used chips in my tube. Packed them real tight in the tube and it works just like pellets. I guess I hadn’t read anywhere that pellets wouldn’t work in the mailbox.
Apple? The smoky flavor has come from my hickory chips I think. Could my chips be spoiled or something like that?
Now that I’ve got the mailbox set up I don’t think I’ll be using the hickory chips much. Just wondering if it’s possible for the chips to spoil or maybe run out of fizz?
I think I’m figuring out the smoke. No matter what I find that the vent needs to be wide open. Too many things I’ve smoked have been too smoky.
I’m using the mailbox method, it’s helping but still have a lot to learn!
Brand new to using electric smokers. I bought a used Big Chief a while back and now for Christmas/Anniversary I got a Masterbuilt 30”! I have been doing a little bit of smoking on my Akorn kamado, but the electric smoking seems to be a little different.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
I get a very smoky after taste to my meat after using both of my electric smokers.
Thought maybe it was the brine I used in the beef jerky on the Big Chief. But last night I smoked a pork loin in my Masterbuilt (Christmas present!) and had the same after taste.
What am I doing wrong?
I get a very smoky almost bitter taste to my meat after smoking with both of my electric smokers. Two batches of beef jerky on my Smokehouse Big Chief and a pork loin on my Masterbuilt.
