    Finally opened my first 30" MES

    Well my smoker is finally dirty.  Smoked some cheese, Turkey, Ham over the last month and today I did my first brisket.  I only tried one cheese and wasn't impressed.  The turkey was different and was ok.  Ham was delicious and the brisket I made today was really good.  Looks dry in the...

    TheBriner

    Searched the forums and didn't see this talked about.  Has anyone bought one of these for brining turkey or chicken or anything?  Nice idea!  Yea I know you can get a bucket from Home Depot and a brick for under $10.  But nice idea! http://www.thebriner.com

    MES in cold temps?

    That was my thought was maybe the air coming in the top vent and keeping the temp down. I had it half open. I have my MES on a covered rear deck, but is the windy part of my house.  I have a surface thermometer that lays on the shelf, I'll throw that in next time just to see.   The probe meat...

    MES in cold temps?

    I have the 30 MES and it was about the same temp and I couldn't get it up past 230.  Had it set for 275 or 285, whatever the max temp is.   Was my first time turning it on.  Or maybe defective, not sure at this point.

    Cleaning the Masterbuilt Cold Smoker??

    Was using my cold smoke attachment yesterday and had the chips keep locking up and then no smoke.  I'll have to look at it and see if it needs a wire brush taken to it or something.  Useless if the chips keep getting stuck....have to keep an eye on it every half hour.  I was doing cheese and...

    Does anyone have a recipe that tastes similar to Wild Bill's Jerky?

    Would like to find the Wild Bills copycat recipe as well!  I think it's the best beef jerky, but so darn expensive!   I've been buying DamnGoodJerky the past few years, you can catch sales with 40% off or 50% off on Black Friday or save on getting some in the discounted section that is about to...

    Char-Broil Deluxe Digital Electric Smoker

    One thing I like about that Char-Broil smoker is that it cooks the meat to the desired temp and then the smoker goes into warming mode!  I don't think Masterbuilt has that feature, you set a temp you want it to run at and then a timer for how many hours, which makes no sense to me.  If I would...

    MES Cold Smoke Add-On ????

    I stopped at HD yesterday before work and picked up another one.  Got the first at Lowe's.  At HD, it looks like regular tin and the sign says metal, but the receipt had galv on it.  Looked up the item number on the HD site and it's galvanized. But I don't think I'm too worried about it.  Just...

    Ok to use galvanized in this setup?

    I just bought my first electric smoker the MES 30" and also got the stand and offset cold smoker unit.  I read about it being to hot for cold smoking and extended it out a bit.  All I could find was galvanized and thought it would be more sturdy and built a pipe and then later read that you...

    MES Cold Smoke Add-On ????

    I just got my first electric smoker the MES 30" and wanted to stretch out the cold smoker from the main unit as well and everything I found at Lowe's and Home Depot are galvanized.  From what I read that shouldn't be used for anything with food.  Then I read only at high temps and not around...

    Giving this smoking cheese a shot..

    This is the second post I seen about letting the cheese sit after it's been smoked.  Do you have to do that?  I wasn't aware of that step.  How long?  Two weeks then?

    Finally opened my first 30" MES

    Well, that pipe I just put in I noticed is galvanized and after reading some forums that is a bad thing.  Just stopped at Home Depot and all my local stores (Lowes, Home Depot) have is galvanized in 3".  I might try running it and see how hot it gets, seems that under 392F is safe. Where are...

    Finally opened my first 30" MES

    Added a small extension for the cold smoker.  Not sure if that will be enough for lower temps or not.  Guess we will see.
