    Unstuffed Smoked Beef Pepperoni Sticks with Qview

    I unwrapped them and put them in my MES for 1 1/2 hours at 100˚ without smoke. Then I lit both ends of a Hickory filled A-MAZE-N-SMOKER (6" X 6"), and put it in the bottom of my MES30.

    Unstuffed Smoked Beef Pepperoni Sticks with Qview

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Bear, Todd said the same thing as you when I asked him privately on where to place the new AMNPS.  The problem I have is my model has the sloping drip pan which is also the holder for the water container.  The AMNPS does not fit on top of that sloping drip tray with the bottom rack in place.

    For all the curing experts, can we use the correct ratio of instacure #1 for the amount of beef other than the tender quick in this recipe?  Or will this change the flavor?
