    Sausage ??

    I have some summer sausage in the MES and had the internal temp up to 147 deg, had some projects going and let the damn MES run out of time.  The meat dropped 3-4 deg before I noticed and restarted the MES.  Now the internal temp is 142-145, so is that good since I have been running the MES...

    Anyone have experience with one of these.   I know I can build a UDS for less money but time is somewhat of a factor right now.  Just curious, they are on sale for 199.00. Thanks Gary

    Jerky to celebrate the time change.

    Used the offset for the first real smoke/cook today so that left the MES30 sitting in the porch pretty lonely.  Since I was out of jerky I stopped on the way home a few days ago and bought a pack of Round Roast. Got the old slicer out, I used this a lot when we first bought it in the early...

    Baby Brisket

    A place just down the street sells all natural grass feed beef, finally stopped in the other day just to look around.  Only thing that caught my eye was this baby brisket, all 1.17 lbs of it.  Since the kid and bf were going to be out of town last Sunday thought it would be a good time to try. ...
