Finishing chicken in oven
Thanks for the quick reply Dave. I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to get the internal temp up fast enough and the chicken to go bad. -
Finishing chicken in oven
I am suppose to be bring smoked chicken breast for a cookout tomorrow and my Masterbuilt 40 in electric smoker seems to be having issues getting to temp. I have two 11# hams in it right now and haven't been able to get the smoker past 205 degrees all day. I didn't think it would be a issue... -
Italian Sausage -Alton Browns Version
Woodcutter, I may be over thinking this, but when you get done grinding the pork you just mix the ingredients at the top of your post with it and then separate and freeze? I don't know why but my thinking about making sausage is there are like 30 steps and if they're not done in the right... -
Stuffed Pork Loin (Apple)
Bear, The loin looks great. What is meant by filleting the loin? I use to work at a fish market 25 years ago so I kind of remember how to fillet a fish but not sure how that equates to a pork loin. I assume (everybody knows what assuming does) you are not just cutting it in half. Sodak -

Now that I've got the MES 40" Gen 1 On Order.... What else do I need?
Congrats on the new smoker. I took my 2nd generation MES 40 back to SAM's club after having problems with it and talking to Masterbuilt and found a 1st gen at a local Gander Mountain about 2 months ago. You won't be disappointed. I would look into either a AMNPS or a MES cold smoker for doing...- sodak

Pork Loin Jerky
I would be very interested if you ever get anything that you think is worth trying again. I have been playing around with beef jerky lately. I tried it in my electric MES and decided to invest in a dehydrator because I figure it had to be cheaper for the electricity bill using a small... -
Mr T's "Smoked Cheese From Go To Show" w/ Q- View
Mr. T. Thanks for the reply. I did end up waiting a couple of hours and have had it in the back of the pantry to age. I pulled it out last night just to see what was going on with it. It seems that maybe I didn't give it enough time to cool. There isn't any holes that I can see but it looks...- sodak

Mr T's "Smoked Cheese From Go To Show" w/ Q- View
Mr T, I am trying the smoked cheese now, thanks for all the info. I plan on air vac sealing the cheese after it is done for it to age. Can I vac seal it right after it comes out of the smoker or place it in the regular storage bag for the 24 hours first? Thanks Wes- sodak

1st Butt - What Did I Do Wrong?
I'm new to the forum myself and have only done 1 butt, but I didn't see anything in your post about foiling. I have read a lot of post going way back on the forum and some people suggest foiling the butt around 160* IT and it will help the cook time and the moisture. There are also plenty of...- sodak

Please help!! A-MAZE-N pellets keep going out in brand new MES 40 from SAMS
So I did some jerky today (that is a different subject that I will start tomorrow) and I started the AMNPS and had it stall a couple of times but only took putting the fan on it to get it started again. The AMNPS was put on top of the hole where the water pan use to be. I removed the water pan...- sodak

Please help!! A-MAZE-N pellets keep going out in brand new MES 40 from SAMS

MES 40 Temps
Thanks for the reply. After I read it, I remembered I didn't use any water because I was trying my AMNPS that I had just received in the mail. I have been reading about the sand method. How much sand do you put in it and then cover if with foil?- sodak

Water and sand
For the sand, where do you fill it to. I have an MES40 and the water pan has a water max level. Do you fill it all the way to the top or just to the level it shows in the pan?- sodak

MES 40 Temps
Only having had my MES 40 for a couple of weeks, I decided to try to figure how much hotter the smoker is compared to the temp I have it set at. So I took a 5 hour chunk of time when the door had been closed for at least the first hour and wrote down times, temp setting, Hi temp and Low temp...- sodak

First BB Ribs
After yesterdays half success with making Jerky, it was time for babyback ribs. Used the 2-2-1 method. Tried to keep the heat around 225*. Once I brought them inside, I cut them with a butter knife. Used a Kansas City rub that I put on and stuck back in the fridge for a couple of hours...
