    Victory VF-1 Freezer Conversion to Smoker????

    I am in a quandary.  I picked up a Victory VF-1 Commercial Freezer for free.  I was told it no longer worked.  The original idea was to convert it into a smoker as a project.  I am a recreational smoker and clearly don't need anything this big (I already have MES 30). They threw in 8 stainless...

    Redneck Smoking Mat (For Now)

    I suppose this will just have to work until Todd gets his Amazen Matz on the site.  I suppose the new non-stick foil would work the same way. Accordion (fan) fold a piece of parchment paper (or non-stick foil) and then use a hole punch to punch the desired amount of holes.  Unfold and put on...

    My 1st Brisket in MES 30

    OK, I've taken the leap so to speak and trying my 1st Brisket.   I bought a 10.5 lb brisket (full packer) from our local meat market ($3.15/lb for Choice and cheaper by far than WalMart at $4.78 for a trimmed 4lb cut ???).  Because I am still a bit scared I cut it half and froze the other half...

    Rotisserie Mod for MES 30/40 with Diagram

    I've been thinking about a mod for a MES 30/40 that would involve a standard rotisserie.  Seems simple enough.  Drill holes on either side ensuring that they are effectively level or can be made level with leg adjustments, etc.  Install some sort of threaded insert that could be RTV'd on either...

    Thinking of trying my hand at Sausage ....advice????

    Here is what I am thinking.... I have one of those KitchenAid mixers.  Don't have a grinder attachment (yet).  Do they have a "stuffer" attachment (I think they do and it might be a package deal)? I'd like to start by buying a basic pre-ground sausage mix (chub) that is basically ground pork...

    Increasing the Range of a Wireless BBQ Thermometer (Maverick ET-73) by siliconghost

    I've smoked a few times with the ET-73 and noticed an issue with the range as well.  Doesn't seem to want to go 100 feet.  Thinking the double paned thermo glass windows are having an effect.   http://www.instructables.com/id/Increasing-the-Range-of-a-Wireless-BBQ-Thermometer/#intro Not sure I...

    Did I Mess Up????

    Bought a 20lb bag of Traeger Pecan Pellets from Amazon.  From the size of the bag and the packaging, I'm concerned that these pellets were not the right ones for the AMZNPS and my MES for smoking a turkey tomorrow.  I have Cherry and Apple if I messed up. Can I use them????
