    New Smoker, need something new to smoke

    Quite the list of meats!  I don't see any veggies like jalapenos or jalapeno poppers!  You could also try smoking nuts, spices or cheese. I'm sure you'll get some creative ideas from this group. Good smokin...

    Pops Breakfast Sausage! I promise I will not call anyone names when they use an Electric Meat Grind

    Kathryn,  I've got a grinder very similar to the one in your link.  Perhaps just a slightly older model.  I've been very happy with it but it does have limitations.  You still need to cube your meat.  If the pieces are too large it may trip the  breaker.  No big deal as there is a quick reset...

    Lesson Learned Preheat that MES.

    I'm fairly new to electric side of smoking.  I purchased an Gen. 1 MES 40 right around Christmas.  My inaugural smoke was some homemade Andouille sausage and it turned out great.  Last Friday I had the day off and decide it was time to try some ribs.  I'm use to using a kamado style grill and...

    Question. How noisy

    I'll be cooking tomorrow here in WI.  High is forecast to be about 30.  Was hoping to wait until the weekend but looks like a cold front is moving in.  Single digit highs on Sunday and Monday.  Good luck on that first smoke!!!

    Question. How noisy

    Happy to help.  I ended up building a case for my unit out of a plastic storage box so I my grilling wasn't weather dependent.  I used 2 pvc elbows attached to the sides of the case to feed the air hose and temp probes through and one on the end for the power cord.  Keeps most rain out and also...

    Question. How noisy

    I've got an IQ110 on my kamado grill.  It definitely works and reduces the need to keep an eye on the grill.  I've used mine to do a few overnight cooks of pork shoulders for pulled pork and it kept the temp between 225 and 250.

    First attempt at andouille sausage.

    It is thicker than traditional gumbo.  I make a roux to thicken.  Just the way I prefer it.

    First attempt at andouille sausage.

    Thanks everyone.  I think I'm going to like this sausage smoking thing.  I've got a Kamado type grill that I love to use for ribs and pork butt but I may give it a whirl on the MES as well. The only mods I added to the MES were things I found on this site.  Added the 3" elbow chimney and the...

    First smoke on the MES 40. Andouille Sausage!

    Put my new Gen. 1 MES through it's first official smoke over the weekend.  I purchased the MES so I could do some lower temp smoking for sausage making.  The initial run wen't well but it was cold here in WI.  Temps on Sunday didn't get out of the teen and it did create a few problems.  Also my...

    First attempt at andouille sausage.

    Made some chicken and andouille gumbo last night with the new sausage.  Here's some photos. Slicing up the sausage, peppers and onions. Sausage is very lean and quite spicy with a good smoky flavor. It's gumbo!  Ladled over some brown rice.  Just damn good!

    what's wrong with my maverick :

    You're not alone on problems with your Maverick.  I've got the ET-73 and was smoking some homemade andouille sausage over the weekend.  I was about three hours into a smoke and my Maverick went haywire.  This was a fairly low heat smoke at 130 degrees.  Here is what my ET-73 showed when it...

    Masterbuilt electric smoker with remote, temperature differences

    I've got a fairly new MasterBuilt Electric Smoker as well with the digital remote.  I've noticed the same multiple display temps as you.  What I remember reading in the manual is you're suppose to hold the meat probe button in to read that them.  Didn't see anything about the multiple temps but...

    First attempt at andouille sausage.

    My new years resolution was to take up smoking, and what better way to keep that resolution that to make an attempt at Andouille sausage! Started by cutting up the pork shoulders and spicing/curing the meat on Wednesday.  I had planned on leaving it cure for a full two days in the fridge and...
