    Masterbuilt Customer Service Success Story

    I just wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience with Masterbuilt's customer service with all of you. This weekend, I was going to use my MES40, but couldn't use the remote because roughly half of the digits on the LCD display were unreadable. I switched out three different sets...

    Spicy Jerky Snack Sticks (with Q-View)

    Pastrami (with Q-View)

    Here's my attempt at a pastrami project. Overall, I think it came out very well. It was also my first time using an AMNPS. It took a few adjustments on my part to keep the unit smoking, but when I finally got the smoke rolling steady, the amazing little contraption didn't stop until the end. I...

    Buckboard Bacon (with Q-View)

    All of this talk and pics on the board of buckboard bacon and, well, you know. I've done bacon before, but I'm tired of trying to trick the MES into burning wood chips at low temperatures, so I finally broke down and purchased an AMNPS. I'm looking forward to receiving it this coming week and...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    The new MES30 and MES40 look a lot more modern and now (according to the ad) go down to a temperature of 32 degrees, but they only have a 650 watt element? It looks like the drip pan is accessible via the front, too, which should be a nice touch. I can't wait to see one in person, but most...

    Pork Sirloin Tip Roast (with Q-View)

    Here's another experiment I wanted to try, in order to find out the difference in look and taste between brined/cured pork and unbrined pork. I had read that if you brined pork with cure, the end result would be a more "hammy" taste. At Costco, I found a great looking four-pack of pork sirloin...
