    Smoke ring in an MES w mailbox, no curing salt!

    Alright everyone, I’ve done it. After months and months of tinkering, I’ve finally achieved a nice smoke ring on ribs in my MES with mailbox mod!!! And no, I didn’t use curing salts. I considering that cheating, don’t know why. First off, I used the wet-dry method, but honestly I didn’t know...

    Beef spare ribs on MES30

    Hey beefers, Just did my first beef smoke today. I’ve been smoking meat for about a year and have only done pork and chicken, so this was a new adventure for me. Picked up 8lbs of beef ribs from a local butcher and dry brined them for about 16 hours in the fridge. This morning I rubbed them...

    How to mailbox-mod a MES30 without the side-load chip feeder port?

    Hi everyone - I'm sure this has been done before- I just got given a completely free MES30, specifically it is the 20070210 version (see pic below) which only has the internal chip tray, not the later version with the tube that slides in from the side, and dumps chips into a covered tray. I've...
