    Cold smoking hard boiled eggs

    I just read Jeff's newsletter about cold smoking hard boiled eggs, and I have a question about it. Can I just put a lit AMNPS in my Mes30 without the heat on and do a good enough job? Thanks for any help. AJ

    Touchy temp control question

    Hi all, I have a 30" Smoke Hollow electric smoker and the temp control is driving me nuts! It's has a 1500 watt element and maybe that's too much for what I've been trying to do. I can barely turn the controller dial and it goes way over what I think it should. Right now, I'm smoking venison...
