    Beef Jerky - first attempt

    I made a load of smoked chex mix and peppered beef jerky in my Masterbuilt ES30 for a birthday get-together this last weekend. Tasted pretty good!

I just got a new smoker today (New Generation MES 30"), and I'm eagerly waiting for the snow to thaw so I can get the smoker outside and fire...

    Question about using water in the smoker.

    I used water in an older version of the MES 30", and constantly had "seepage" leaking from the smoker and dripping from the door when opened. What a mess! I just upgraded to the New Generation MES 30" and will be trying dry smoking for a while.
