    MES - Black or SS

    I have the SS and it looks nice but I think the inside is the same. Even if the inside is different, it all looks pretty dark after a few uses. Mine is covered anyway with a grill cover when not in use. Unless you are going to display it, you might want to save the money and buy some...

    Hot and cold spots in MBE

    I made some jerky tonight and it turned out excellent. I used LEM seasoning, which is a wet seasoning, and it is excellent. The only problem I had was that there were areas that dried muck quicker than others. The right side was way more done than the left. I rotated the racks and that...

    Summer sausage and grease

    I just checked my electric thermometer in boiling water and it read 212 so I think the problem is in the MBE control. I will contact them tomorrow.

    Summer sausage and grease

    I had the temp set on the control panel and a meat thermometer in one of the logs. Maybe I did measure the coolest or hottest log/spot but my main concern was the amount of grease that dripped from the casings. I had a mess and I did not think that I would have any, as the fat should have...

    Summer sausage and grease

    Summer sausage and grease

    I tried making a 15 pound batch of summer sausage. I used High Mountain and followed the recipe which was to mix, refridgerate for at least 12 hours and the cook as follows: 1 hour at 120 1 hour at 140 .5 hours at 160 finish at 180 until internal temp is 156. I did this and right now the...

    Masterbuilt Smokehouse 4-Rack Digital Electric Smoker

    I have the stainless and I smoke on my wooden deck and about a foot from my house, which is vinyl sided. No problems let, it is pretty well insulated. To season it I just followed the directions. It looked real pretty inside before I used it and after using it I was sad. I cleaned it out and...
