    Summer sausage stall!

    I've had some casingless SS smoking for close to 18 hrs now and it's been stuck at 137 for nearly 4 hrs! Smoker has been set at about 160 as the MES fluctuates about +/- 15 degrees as it cycles and I'd like to avoid fat rendering. There is a small bit of rendering in the drip pan currently. I...

    Gettin porky with CB and BBB

    Ran out of CB and dry cured some loin about 10 days ago. Decided to also give BBB a first shot as well. I plan to hot smoke both to an IT of 145. Excited to give BBB a try. It all has been in the fridge for about 24hrs to form a pellicle. I will be smoking over oak, hickory, cherry pellets...

    I've done it...1st brisket!

    Decided to take the plunge last last night and smoke my first brisket. Researched a lot here to put together my plan. I decided on a 10.5 lb select brisket as it was cheaper and smaller than the choice grade briskets at Cash & Carry. I knew that the lesser marbling would possibly result in a...

All were cured for 10 - 12 days.  The CB dried...

    Gen 2 MES 40 and mailbox mod tips

    Hello All, In search of the infamous TBS I purchased an AMNPS to use in my MES 40 gen 2.  I've used it for some hot smokes and some cold smokes but seem to get quite a bit more white smoke than I would like (especially for cold smokes), which has created some less than stellar results.  When...

    bad pellets = bad cold smoke...

    I recently purchased an MES 40 gen 2 and AMNPS and started cold smoking cheese and bacon. I received a pound of Hickory pellets(Todd's) with the AMNPS and bought a bag of Myron Mixon pellets off Amazon. I figured they couldn't be that different than the pellets I received with the AMNPS. I...

    Hello from Seattle

    Hello All, I've been lurking since I purchased a Gen 2 MES 40" after Thanksgiving.  I also purchased an AMNPS after seeing all the great reviews and deciding that filling the chip tray every 30 min was a waste of time and effort. I have since hot smoked salmon, cold smoked cheese and bacon...
