    Tapa talk search feature not working

    Im not sure if this is a tapa talk issue, or site issue, or one that nobody really cares about. Just thought I would mention it, as tapa talk is my preferred way to cruise. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    My latest mod

    I've been dragging my feet about doing this, but finally got around to it. I used 3" galvanized pipe, and just bent tabs on the bottom to create a spot foe the magnets to hold it down. The pipe runs into an unused chimney. I wanted the magnets so I could remove it easily to use the smoker...

    Think I just saved my smoke

    I think I just saved my smoke. I've had some beef jerky marinating in the fridge for a week now, and today was the day to smoke it. I've been fine tuning my recipe and 6 hours of cold smoke seems to be key. I went to light my Amnps today, only to realize I was out of propane. Since it's easter...

My casings are around 30mm, and the butt was 8lbs. I ground the butt through a coarse plate, then mixed with...

    Anyone tried refridgerating their smoker?

    Just curious if anyone has ever pulled this off? I have a "beer fridge" that I could bastardize for the cause. my general idea would be to pipe cold air from my freezer into my MES30 to make cold smoking possible in the summer. I would pipe it in the same way you would a mailbox mod, and run a...

    To prick or not to prick?

    I'm not sure if my casings are smoke permeable, they are 1.5" clear fibrous and feel smooth, like there is a coating. In lieu or answers, I'm gonna prick them figuring what's the worst that could happen. Was just wondering if there is a list somewhere, or if someone could put it here Sent from...

    Made some venison jerky (Leggs 131)

    Just started pulling the smaller pieces off now, used 12lbs of fresh venison(back straps and hind quarter). The directions said 20 minutes in a vacuum tumbler, but I don't have one, so I let it sit in the bowl for a day, loaded up the mes 30 last night, put one load of alder in the pan, and left...

    ???'s to the MES gods.

    My baby got me a shiny new mes 30 for Christmas, and I plan to make a couple "mods". My plans are to add a diffuser plate to the top, and a chimney, going through the wall. This is so I can run it inside my garage all winter long! I also think I will be doing a mailbox mod, eventually, and...
