    Nothing more to say!! Actually, was trying to navigate on my darn phone and had no clue I replied. Sorry about that! Trying now on a Chromebook so might screw that up too. I stuck to the 145 IT and it worked out great. Figured while I had the smoker going I'd also throw in a couple venison...

    Canadian Bacon Final Temp?

    So I'm going to to throw it on the griddle and fry it up next to the eggs before I eat it. what if I pull it from the smoker at 130, slice, freeze, and then when I cook it will get easily to 145?

    Canadian Bacon Final Temp?

    Came across this old tread in my search but here's my question. I'm going to throw my thin sliced Canadian Bacon on the griddle before I make an egg sandwich. It's going to get cooked in the end anyway. After the smoke, what's the minimum IT that I need to take it to? Thanks Mark

    Venison Bacon

    Agree with chopsaw. Nothing like meatloaf. Couple of twists on the ground venison bacon. 1. I try and use some pork jowl. First time went with 50% venison and 50% pork jowl. What a greasy mess in the MES 40. But possibly the best ground venison bacon I've ever had. Tough to find pork...

    open up an MES Gen 2.5

    Boy, this is when I feel like I need to buy you guys a beer! The help here is like having a great neighbor!! Double checked the element tabs. Look good and tight. No burning. I guess that leaves the limit switch. Assume I drill out the rivets and then reattach with sheet metal screws...

    Ribs going in the MES and using the amnps first time

    Finished Product. Ran into a couple problems.  amnps with pellets did not stay lit.  Burned a bit to start and then went out.  Seemed to be going good when I started.  Never had any issues with sawdust.  Also, cooked a bit too long.  Distracted by company and some Saranac Pale Ales!  Ended up...

    Ribs going in the MES and using the amnps first time

    My first shot at ribs.  MES 40 and amnps with pitmaster choice pellets.  Two racks St. Louis style $3.49 at local TOPS supermarket.  Told my buddy what I was doing and he showed up with 3 racks of his own!!  Neither of us have ever cooked ribs before.  We will see how it goes.  Mustard with...
