Just recently joined the MES 30 gen 1 fam for doing bacon, sausage, etc !


Congrats Justin!!!

I remember you asking me about them----I knew you'd get one!!


Bear

Thanks Bear, I couldn't resist getting one at the price I was able to get it ! I think I'd have kicked myself if I hadn't pulled the trigger on it ! Thanks again for your input !

glad to hear you got one I have case less summer sausage in mine today and 50lbs of snack sticks and summer sausage in my fridge smoker today I will post her some later in another thread

Have you used it yet??
 
I consider myself a novice still - however my MES helps me experiment with confidence and I am learning so much now. It is great to come up with something delicious & creative for family and neighbors. Not only that I have developed a love for pulled pork because of my MES ( I am from the northeast and wasn't used to it when I moved down here. I got a pulled pork sandwich at a BBQ stand and couldn't eat it (not a fan off strong BBG sauces). Now my family enjoys it with or with out BBG sauce. We are garlic fans and I inject loads of garlic juice during my cooks -we also love the combination of mild salt ,garlic & sage in our rubs. I guess you could call it custom cooked pork.  Enjoy and experiment , you will be very pleased. Of course it will lead to new expenses,like -wireless thermometers, (oven & meat temp) so you can be sure of the temps you will learn to want to matain to perfect your cooks. A new lawn chair to sit by your smoker in , new laptop so U can study new methods while you relax by the smoker, new types of wood to try , New ideas to turn into experiments LOL Just "LOTS OF NEW GOOD "STUFF"". I even have combines seafood reciepies and old yankee recipes that I like into pork and beef - Shss they are secret yet and locked in a bullet proof vault at he bank.   :-)

Thanks DS ! Oh man, good for you having all that good stuff in the TBS ! Wow ! Can't wait to see your thread....

I haven't used it yet, hoping soon ! Thumbs Up
 
I use a 25' 16 Gauge 13 amp outdoor extension cord I bought at Lowes when I need to plug my MES 30 into one of my outside power outlets. The outlet's connected to a 10 amp circuit breaker. Works fine. If there's a voltage drop I'm not seeing it.

Any recipes floating around for the snack sticks or summer sausage? Sounds like something fun to make with the kiddo.

We have a 40" with window that we got for Christmas. Well, I got it for my DH. We LOVE it. Used it once with elk sausage we made from my DH's elk hunt this year (we did our own processing and sausage making), and a pork loin we brined in an apple cider vinegar brine DH found online. YUM. 

I also put some acorn squash in there, but it turned out way too smoked (tasted like a mouthful of ash, haha) and underdone. Will need to play with that one more. ;)

Dear Husband??

Designated Hitter??

Have a 30" MES and use it at least once a week since purchased in November. Great results and still looking for new ideas to try. Enjoy this sight and the sharing of information.

 I thought it ment Daughters husband - because you dislike him so this way you needn't remember his name (been there)
