    Cabela's Pro 100

    I just got a new-to-me Pro 100 that saw little use and was well taken care of. No manual or instructions though - could stand a little help on the settings and digital readout. Wondering what "SP" means? There is a flat plate with a couple tabs that I'm sure goes in the bottom to hold a water...

    Ran out of casings for summer sausage - ideas of what to make with 4 lbs. leftover, ready to stuff??

    That's what happened today. I live in the boonies and don't have immediate access to more casings. I just wrapped and ziplocked it and put in the freezer for overnight. Any suggestions on what to do with it? I've considered jerky, but there is 40% pork from country style ribs in there, so a fair...

    First time goose summer sausage w/ Q-view and pics

    We had a number of goose breasts in the freezer after hunting season, so I started looking at new ways to use it. I decided to make summer sausage. I read all the posts on here and other sources and put together a plan. My son got us a new grinder for Christmas which included the stuffer plate...

    Wild goose breasts - 1st time

    Took breast and butterflied it, after soaking overnight in buttermilk. Put on the rub, then filled with a layer of apples and cranberries. Then another breast on top, with rub and then bacon over all. Started at 225, got to 140 IT after a couple hours, backed MES30 off to about 205. More to...

    Tende Quick & BBB cure time ???

    I've done the searches and read most of the posts. Lots of ideas and formulas on "How Long to Cure BBB" with TQ. What I haven't found is how to determine for sure that it is cured all the way through. On BBB then, how do you tell by looking, slicing, appearance, etc. that it is cured for sure...

    Spatchcocked chicken - first time on MES30 w/q-view

      It's a big plate and a BIG corn cob. The chicken was nice-sized! Typical for me now, I searched the site for all the spatchcocked yardbird info, then devised a plan that is a combo of everything I read. Decided to smoke two of them. I brushed mustard on  and sprinkled with Jeff's rub...

    First spare ribs - mixed ideas - good results!

    I have all of about 5 weeks experience smoking meat, and think I've read about every spare rib experience here on these forums and what Jeff has on his site, too. I wanted to do spares today, but had a deadline and got started late. Thus no q-views, sorry! Just got an ET-732 and anxious to try...

    "Partially Cooked" Ham Shank - first time w/Q-view

    Searched our forums for everything on a ham described as 'partially cooked' by my local meat guy. Cured, smoke, but not sure about it. I trimmed it like Bearcarver shows, rubbed with Jeff's rub and let it sit in the fridge for a half hour or so. I made shallow slits laterally to catch...

    In the middle of a ham shank first timer - needed IT for 'partially cooked'?

    I searched all over the forum and devised a plan - oops off to my other browser, getting popups... wish Internet explorer wouldn't do that!! Following Bearcarver's lead, trimmed, rubbed with Jeff's, using pellets in MES30. My real concern is this ham was labeled "Ham Shank Roast" - locally fed...

    Possible new glossary acronym - PDL!

    I know that smoking requires 24 hour-ahead planning. My downfall. Today, my wife and I worked on some of our trust stuff (not each other, the legal entity!). She pulled some elk round steak out of the freezer mid morning. I wasn't planning on smoking anything today. So, about 4 PM she went next...

    AMNPS placement in MES30

    I've used the search tool a bunch, and it's pretty fun. I am a noobie, however!  I have an MES30 ~~20070910 model. Need to know the best placement advice for the AMNPS for this model. Not sure what makes a gen I vs. a gen II. This is an 800 watt model. The chip box is long, almost twice the...

    Repeated pop-up when starting or replying to a thread...

    Hi,  I'm getting this repeated popup with "AJAX response unable to be parsed as valid JSON object."  When using IE 11 browser with Adblock Plus turned on. I do not get it when using Firefox for a browser. I don't experience it any other time, nor when posting in other forums I'm a member of...

    Walleye and MES30

    Absolute noobie to smoking, and have spent probably 4 hours on this site soaking it all in. I researched (searched) everything I could track down of interest, and I've got to say the search tool is one of the best and the organizing and handling of topics and threads is way beyond many of the...

    Hello from Wyo

    I'm new to smoking, but my son-in-law is not! He and my daughter got me an MES30 and I'm excited to get started. I'm retired and live in Torrington, which is farm country on the North Platte river and not far from Nebraska. Cattle feeding is big here. I harvest and consume wild game and fish and...
