    Little Chief ---feedback please

    I have to chime in here, the Little Chief was my introduction to smoking and it has to be the most user friendly, simple, and dependable entry level smoker on the market. (IMHO of course.) After three years of service I gave mine to a friend, another person initiated into smoking by the Little...

    Vac u Pack

    I have to chime in with a thumbs up to Vac Master. Mine is about eight years old and not a single issue. I was going through at least two Foodsavers a year. They're great folks and would rebuild them for free but in the mean time (3-4 weeks) I was out of luck. This unit was bought from...

    Smoked sea trout W/Q View

    Hey all, I usually do this with mullet, but lately I've been catching a LOT of trout. Pretty much the same thing with mullet, the big difference is when you clean the mullet you'll find fat inside. Leave it there, it's a good thing. Also when smoking mullet I leave the scales on the fish. The...

    MES gasket broken

    Well, here's how I see it- Masterbuilt replaced my unit with a brand new one even though it was well out of warranty. I haven't been treated that well as a consumer in a long time. How they can afford to do this is beyond me, but it's a good thing for me and from what I've read here many others...

    My first smoker

    First thing I looked at is the "satisfaction guarantee", you have 90 days to check it out. I don't see a downside here. I would like to see the inside and wish the unit had a vent or chimney, but for that price it seems to be a lot of cooker. This seems to me to be a good entry level smoker and...

    My baby has issues

    How about taking a picture of the back of the unit showing the repaired cord attached and including it with serial plate and cord. In my dealings with MES they were nothing less than fair, in fact much more- they replaced my unit with a new one and it was well out of warranty. Curious, where...

    MES gasket broken

    I agree with Ron, had an element issue a couple of months ago and after sending the cord and serial # Plate received a complete unit. Seems like a lot of posts with MES issues lately, too bad they can't get this element issue worked out. This is obviously the weak link in an otherwise very well...

    First MES attempt

    Looks great Dan, I see you're a wing nibbler too. About the water pan, I've never filled mine up- just use it as a drip catcher. Every thing tastes good to me. Sometimes on butts the bark is a little on the dry side, maybe I should try a little moisture.

    looking for a teriyaki beef jerky recipe

    Hey folks, good input- I made a marinade of O.J.,soy, fresh ginger, garlic and sugar. Worked well. Usually I like jerky to bite back a little, this is a nice change. The citrus in the marinade gives a clean crisp taste. Thanks again.
