    Elbows for mailbox mod

    I am finally getting around to making a mailbox mod for my MES30. I have read countless threads talking about it being OK to use a galvanized steel mailbox as the temps won't get high enough (unless a flareup on the AMNPS tray) to fume out the zinc. The only adjustable elbows they had in 3" at...

    First smoke on the MES30G1

    Decided to do a chicken first.  Brined it for 24 hours in a simple brine of water/salt/brown sugar.  Stuffed the inside with chunked up apple/lemon/onion/garlic cloves - with some olive oil and salt and pepper.  Sprinkled some salt and pepper, cayenne and paprika on the outside after slathering...

    Yet another new member!

    Hello all!  Been making venison snack sticks and summer sausage for the past few years and finishing them in the oven.  Good, but...  FINALLY will be getting a smoker to "do it right".  Ordered a MES30 today to see what this is all about.  Can't wait to get it and see where I can go from here! ...
