    #8 LEM Dual Grind Big Bite Grinder

    I’m looking at getting this grinder but I’m not familiar with this model. Has anyone heard, seen or know anything about it? What are your thoughts? I’m pretty much a noob but don’t want to do as I’ve done with other things and start low and keep having to upgrade...

    Fresh Smoked Atlantic Kingfish

    Went deep sea fishing last Thursday and a friends daughter caught a really nice Kingfish (King Mackerel). About a 30-35 pounds. Being it's a pretty strong fish, they only wanted a couple of the bigger pieces and gave the rest to me knowing I have a smoker (lucky me!). It was filleted with the...

    MES Window Cleaning Made Easy

    I know this has been mentioned by folks in other threads but I am here to bare witness. I've tried just about all of the suggestions I've seen posted here on how to "easily" clean the inside of the MES window. Most work good, some better than others. Unfortunately, being in South Florida, I...

    Pickled Okra

    After having some success after jumping into the deep end of the pool, I decided to try making one of my favorites....Pickled Okra. I found a base recipe I liked and did a few tweeks. Smelled good but has a wait time like smoked cheese (dang it!!) of 4-8 weeks so I'll have to update on taste...

    First Time Canning - Strawberry Jam

    At the risk of having my "Man Card" suspended, I decided to try my hand at making and canning my own strawberry jam. Picked up a Granite Ware water bath canner ($19.98), 1/2 pint jars and related items at Wally World and a 4 lb. clam shell of strawberries that looked really nice at Costco...

    I Like Big Butts And I Cannot Lie...

    Well, you get to know certain songs when you have a teenage daughter whether it's your preferred music or not.  Anyway, family get together for Mother's Day at a cousin's house and was told "We're just going to throw some burgers and hot dogs on the grill". So I figured it was a good...

    Excuse My Butt

    Decided I wanted some pulled pork sammies so I put on a couple butts at 2:30am with a mix of Oak & Apple in the AMNPS. Total pre-cook weight was just about 15 lbs. for the two.The smaller of the two is ready to be pulled for a cooler nap. 205* now while the larger one is at 181*. The larger one...

    YASS!!

    No, not a southern abbreviation for Your A**. Yet Another Superbowl Smoke. LOL. Ok, I know there's been a hundred of the same posted over the weekend but what the heck. There's a particular someone that made me feel guilty for not throwing my hat, or in this case...pictures, in the ring as well...

    Today's Menu - Smoked Fish

    Got to craving some smoked fish and being fresh Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi or Dorado, not Flipper) was on sale for $3.99/lb. thought I'd give it a try. Also got a couple nice pieces of Marlin for good measure as it was $7.99/lb. Found a what looked like a good brine recipe and process. Anyone tried this...

    Smoked Cheese - The Sequel

    Time to smoke it up again. This time added a couple different ones. The Garlic Pesto Monterey Jack should be interesting. Tasted good without the smoke. Also, a dozen mozzarella sticks but I think we all know what they look like. Giving them about 2 hours of Pitmaster's Choice. Warm day so I...

    2012 MES 40 Now at Sam's

    I was just on the Sam's website and see they now have the 2012 MES 40 available for $299.98. The 2012 model # is different now, 20072612 (possibly due to the re-engineered chip tray unit from the recall). Currently it shows that it's only available online. In the pictures of the 2012 model, it...

    Bacon-Wrapped Turkey

    A friend of mine sent this to me on Facebook. Looks interesting and I'm sure the recipe probably could be adapted to a smoker. Has anyone ever tried doing this in a smoker? http://www.thedailymeal.com/bacon-wrapped-turkey

    First Cheese Smoke in MES w/Q-view

    With all the posts I've seen lately about smoking cheese I thought I'd try my hand at it. Especially with 8oz bar cheeses being on sale at my local Publix store. Here's a few pics as I progress. Temp started at 72*, went down to 70* after adding ice cubes to the water pan and a frozen 1/2 gal...

    Gasser vs. MES for Cheese

    Reviewing these threads on smoked cheese has me to where I just can't take it anymore. I love smoked cheese!! Cool enough here in S. Florida to where I can do it now. The question I have is...If given the choice, would you use a Master Forge Gasser or an MES 40 to cold smoke the cheese. I know...
