    Need help ASAP

    I have a pork shoulder that has been marinating for 24 hours for an event today. I went out to start my MES 40 and it will not heat up. I suppose I need to put it in the oven but have never cooked one in the oven. I'm assuming I just use the same direction as I would with the smoker but I'm not...

    Need Deer shoulder brine recipe.

    Had a friend give me 2 deer shoulders and what I read in here says to brine it first but can't find a brine recipe anywhere. Can I use the same type of brine for chicken or does it need to be different?

    MES cold smoking kit question.

    I purchased one of the cold smoker kits for my MES and it has no instructions on how to use it, only how to install it. Are you supposed to soak the wood chips first or not???
