Hello all,

My Name is Mike and I reside in Massachusetts.  Brand new to the smoking hobby and look forward to sharing with all of you.  My smoker is a new MES 30 with an AMNPS -Tray, and a Maverick Et-732 Remote Thermometer.  I tried my hand at some beef jerky this weekend.  It came out better than I thought, but not as good as I think it should have.  After poking around in the Jerkey forum, I found some rookie mistakes that I made.  Meat too moist, not enough ventilation, laid flat instead of tooth pick method, etc...  Took approx. 7 hours for about 3 lbs of eye of round to finish up, but they were still the hit of the party! I wish I would have come across Cougar78's post "Beef Jerky: Ten Pounds, Two Types (with Pics)" sooner.  I plan on giving this a try this upcoming weekend.  

Happy Smokin'

Mike
 
Richie, thanks for your reply. I'm no carpenter, but I think I could make that rack. Good looking and a simple mod. I have to learn not to be afraid to modify my smoker. Thanks again for sharing. I see you have ties to MA too. I work on the Attleboro line, in Seekonk and live in Lizzie Borden's home town.
