    Massive hybrid smoke / sous vide cook advice needed

    I'm planning to cook BBQ to about 30 homeless members of our community as well as 20 volunteers and could use a little bit of advice. It would be much easier if I had access to one of those crazy big smokers on a trailer but I only have a 26 inch weber kettle, 18in WSM and an offset smoker...

    Rebuilding vs Buying MES

    Gentlemen of Smoking Meat Forums, I have a MES that I've used for past 4 years. I use it relatively often with my AMNPS - mostly to make beef jerky, ribs and pulled pork. Haven't been using it as much now that I've built a mini-WSM and having too much fun with charcoal. Anyways, I keep my...

    MES only heats up to 300

    Totally apologize for the mistake Bear! I just used starting temp as 80 degree as an example to illustrate that my thermometer reports what is the temperature in the smoker. Also to perhaps brag a bit that it was 80 degrees this past weekend here in so cal. :biggrin: It's definitely the...

    MES only heats up to 300

    How ironic that you would respond Bear because I'm preparing to make your baked beans!! I just cleaned the connectors and the thermometer. But thermometer reads the temperature right. When I set for example 175 degrees, it will indicate starting temp of 80 degrees (california) and will slowly go...

    MES only heats up to 300

    I've had my MES for about 3 years and have been using it fairly often. Last year I replaced the connectors to the heat element whi check has prolonged its life. Most recently, I noticed that my MES will heat up to 300. The temperature reads right temperature but no matter what I set, it ignores...

    Make Your Own Yogurt

    Few lessons learned from my initial yogurt making experiement. I used half gallon of whole milk, half cup of non fat powder milk and used albertson's store brand non-fat vanilla yogurt. Cooling down from 185 to 110 takes about 40min to hour at about 70 degree room temp and on top of granite...

    OEM Look Painting Options

I want to paint it to give that glossy look to match the smokey joe.  I noticed a lot of people are using the VHT Engine Enamel paint and also Rust-Oleum high heat spray paint as well. I'd...

    Make Your Own Yogurt

    Made half a gallon so halved the powdered milk and yogurt (starter) and is sitting in my 30" MES at 115 going on for about an hour or two.  My oven's warm setting won't go down that low so had to use the smoker. Can't wait to see the results!

    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    Can't believe its taking me this long to try your bean recipe.  Made it this weekend but only used crushed pineapple instead of chunks in my MES with heavy smoke while making spare ribs.  They match the spice of my ribs perfectly.  The taste is pretty amazing and look more forward to making...

    MES heating element bad connector question

    I fixed my MES by simply buying a female tab connector from Home Depot and cleaning the heck out of the heater connections as it was slightly corroded.  I've smoked twice now and it's working good as new. Mine didn't have screws in the back so I had to drill out and replace them with machine...
