    deer stick problem

    I'm looking for some advice about what to do with a batch that doesn't taste great. Last weekend was my first experience with venison and pork.  I ground 5lbs. of venison and pork butt.  Split into to two 2.5lb. batches using one pack of BackWoods seasoning and cure with Pepperoni flavoring. ...

    Question on tube size and casings

    I found the answer in another thread for making jerky.  They use a 3/8" tube with 21,19, or 17mm casings. for sticks (aka-deer sticks,snack sticks). In the search menu put " How to make sticks "  over 3,000 postings with sticks. I'm guessing that's why no body replied.  Good luck !  don't...

    Question on tube size and casings

    Great question.  I'm surprised it hasn't been answered yet.  Unfortunately I have the same question. I've never done sticks before and am trying to figure out what supplies are needed.  I haven't searched the threads to see if this question has been asked before.  It might be why nobody has...

    MES explosion

    I don't intend to debate you, but I'm not sure how you figure that smoke will NEVER ignite. Smoke WILL ignite when heated and introduced to an ignition source. Smoke is particles of carbon being produced by combustion and carried into the air... Even dust mixed with air can ignite when...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    I followed the first posting exactly. I am new to smoking and it turned out fantastic. I couldn't believe the flavor and moisture. I smoked a 5.3 lb. Boston Butt on a MES. It took 9 hrs. in smoker and 1 hr. more to rest. Thanks for the great Sticky....

    Noob makin his own smoker

    I have built one small smoker and it has a firebox. I would recommend a heavy gauge steel plate for the box, 3/16" or thicker. You'll want a door that seals well, adjustable air intake vents, and a platform for wood/charcoal to sit on and allow air to flow beneath. Not sure what a triple...

Had Baby back started on the 2-2-1,,explosion happened in first 20 min. temp was set to 212degrees only had two racks in smoker. I know the wood won't explode,, I'm wondering if somehow the smoke ignited. I had the top flute...

    MES explosion

    yes, the chip tray was in correct place. Also the side trap door was shut. I'm wondering if I had too many chips and too much smoke, causing the smoke to ignite. Like a flashover in a structure fire.

    MES explosion

    Anyone ever experienced a MES combusting and blowing wood chips out the side fill hole soon after you begin heating?

    thank you for all your responses. The Ribs turned out great, especially for a first timer. I'm going at another rack today.

    help on baby back

    ok, thanks. I think I might be getting a false reading on the wireless thermometer. Only a small portion of the temp probe is in the meat. I think it's telling me the inside temp of the smoker. thanks for the fast reply and encouragement.

    Hey all, quick question on Baby backs. I'm smoking on a MES. I have a 2 lb rack. and am trying the 2-2-1 method. Ribs are at 160 after the first two hrs. Am on the second two hours wrapped in foil, and temps are still going up. I was at 225 degrees the first two hours, and I bumped it down...

    Help with retaining heat in cold weather?

    i was going to suggest putting a tin garbage can over your smoker,,,until I saw what yours was. Don't think that will work. I smoked some hens today for about 3 hrs. with the temp at zero degrees. I didn't have any problems. It is a MES and is insulated.
