    Any "vapers" in here at SMF?

    I had resigned myself to be a smoker the rest of my life before I tried the e-cigs. I had no luck with anything before that. Event the thought of quiting would make me want to smoke even more! E-cigs make it really easy, it almost feels like you're cheating. If you're starter kit doesn't work...

    30" MES - Which model to get

    I just got one from Amazon last week, and it's apparently a 20070910 model, so I'm not sure if that's the old or new one? Anyway, used it a couple times last weekend and really like it! My only worry is if the element goes out.

    Memorial Day with the new MES 30 (with Qview)

    Just google Tammy's spicy pepperoni. I use her recipe, but double it and use one pound of spicy breakfast sausage and 3 lbs of hamburger. I cut down the liquid smoke (since I smoke mine...) and add about 3 finely diced habanero peppers. (I like mine a little spicy!) I also don't cook it for 8...

    Memorial Day with the new MES 30 (with Qview)

    So I picked up the MES 30 from Amazon last week but I had to leave for a cruise to Alaska, which was beautiful by the way! Anyway, we got back Saturday and I went about unboxing and seasoning the smoker. Yesterday I smoked up a chuck roast and some brined chicken. I studded the roast with...
