R.I.P. Bearcarver (John)
Wow. I've been off the forum for a while and just hopped on to look through some of Bearcarver's instructions. I'm sorry to learn of his suffering and passing. He has help so many of us provide wonderfully smoked foods to so many families. What an amazing man. I'm sure his contributions...- lostriver

Whole Chicken MES
I am planning on smoking a couple birds today. I brined them in Chef Jimmy J's recommended brine and left them overnight in the fridge. I also spatchcocked them. I am going to smoke them at my house then drive them an hour away to meet up with some friends. I'll then warm the birds back up... -

MES 40 Drip Pan
I gave my neighbor permission to borrow my MES 40 while I was out of town because he had guests coming in town and wanted to smoke a pork butt. I had previously smoked a couple of butts for him. When he returned the smoker it was missing the drip pan the mounts outside the unit on the back. ...- lostriver

Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)
It is a lot of work with that much meat. I think 8 butts is my limit going forward. That would be 2 per rack. These things are delicious though. I plan to vacuum seal and freeze a bunch so I can take and thaw out whenever I'm hungry!! I have a question about the mustard. Why does everyone... -
Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)
I took the turkey roasting pan out and just used the drip pan in that came with the smoker. I think the roasting pan was blocking the heat like you mentioned. I smoked the butts for 8 hours then checked internal temps. Butts on the top rack were 140, butts in the middle were around 150, and... -
Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)
Thanks Bear. I went ahead and started it at 240. I'll bump to 260. The butts are smaller since the outer fat has already been trimmed. I have nine butts in the 5 to 6 lb range. I figured I actually have more surface area for the smoke to penetrate then on larger butts. The butts are... -
Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)
I just loaded up my MES 40 with Butts. Prepped them yesterday with mustard and rub and let sit over night. I buy dry butts (non-enhanced) to make caribou and deer sausage. I mostly use the fat for the sausage. I take the left over butts and put them in the smoker. So the butts I have in... -
Smoked Venison Dried Beef
I think i understand. That is a concern of mine since my pieces are already cut small. Not much I can do at this point. It will be a good trial run and then I'll be better prepared when I start harvesting some more game. I'll let you know how it goes. -
Smoked Venison Dried Beef
Thanks for the great tips!!! I have a globe slicer and i can tell you the blade is razor sharp. It has a sharpener on it and I just sharpened the blade. I am hoping that will help with the slicing issue. I have a cut on the back of my hand that is healing right now from touching the blade... -
Smoked Venison Dried Beef
Will do. One small issue I will have is the size of my meat is pretty small. I had cut these down into steaks and put into one lb packs. I thawed out 14 packs (14 lbs). I figured I would go ahead and run this batch through for practice and to get into sandwich meat. I'll be back into... -

I have some curing now. It should be ready to smoke this weekend!!! -
How Many Mes Owners Here?
I bought mine through Amazon. Seems to work great although I've only used it a few time. I use an AMNPS with it. I have the 40" with window.- lostriver

Smoked Venison Dried Beef
Hi Bear, This looks great. I plan to try this in the near future on some deer and some caribou steaks. I have a question for after these are finished. Are these considered "cured" like jerky? The reason I ask is that I am planning to do some camping in Alaska. Daytime temps can get in the... -
Hello
My name is Scott. I live in Indianapolis, IN. I recently bought a MES40 and a AMNPS. I use the AMNPS for smoke generation instead of using wood chips. Seems much easier in my limited experience. I am new to smoking. This is my first smoker. I bought it because I wanted to smoke Salmon... -
Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)
Thank you so much for this post. My neighbors asked me to smoke about 25 lbs of pork butts. I have very little experience (3rd time I used the smoker). I have a MES40 and I use the AMNPS for smoke generation. I used this process to a T and everything came out wonderful. You really are...
