    Locking up an MES

    great idea - I do use the closure on the top vent but I could substitute a can lid or something there. I appreciate the creative suggestion!

    Locking up an MES

    Dear Smokers: I just moved to a new area. I only have a front porch, no back area. My neighbors strongly suggested chaining up my BBQ as they are known to sprout legs and walk away at times. I have an MES 30 - does anyone have any ideas on how one might affix something to it so I could run...

    Hi, someone gave me a traeger that does not work properly. 1. does not heat 2. impeller works apparently constantly, pushing pellets through. 3. Some rust. this is FREE but certainly a PROJECT - I am just trying to keep it out of the landfill. - AK

    SV is a great thawer! Set it to 68F

    As noted, I stand corrected - thank you!

    SV is a great thawer! Set it to 68F

    Thank you all for the thoughtful replies - I certainly don't want to do anything dangerous or suggest that anyone else so do. I am wondering if there is any safe way to use the SV as a thawer in a restricted time curve. Perhaps there is not. [sorry for the delay, the site was down]

    SV is a great thawer! Set it to 68F

    Hi Gang, I have been off of SMF for some time, back again and it remains a great forum. My cousin [who is married to a nationally known chef] pointed out that a SV is an amazing thawing device. Just set the temp to 68 degrees F and let her rip. Solidly frozen meat is thawed really fast...

    Sous vide and smoked Passover brisket

    It is also hard to know what is "too much smoke" - to avoid the creosote nastiness.

    Sous vide and smoked Passover brisket

    Hey Upnorth, I meant a lot of smoke - so much that I was concerned. I also want to experiment with narrowing the maze channel a bit, maybe with some stainless steel screen. This is a new MES30 [my old one crapped out with a short I couldn't find] and I am in an experimental stage. For some...

    Sous vide and smoked Passover brisket

    The AMNPS can put out a lot of smoke. So if I constrain the outbound air, it should help draw less inbound air, consequently furnish less oxygen, and slow down combustion. Seems to work.

    Sous vide and smoked Passover brisket

    So... first brisket. I smoked it [with no rub, no seasoning] for six hours at about 220 in my new MES 30 [that is why it is so clean]. I used an AMNPS maze with a mix of apple and mixed pellets. Hopper about 1/2" out, vent on top barely open. Good smoke. First picture is at end of smoke...

    new MES 30 poor combustion at lower temps

    I just put it on the bottom shelf for now. That maze produces a LONG TON of smoke, I may experiment with not filling it as high, or maybe blocking off a portion of the rows with tinfoil. I noticed also it can sit on the aluminum portion that is above the element area, but it will not sit...

    new MES 30 poor combustion at lower temps

    oof I just ordered a 5.8. If it does not fit I will return it and get a tube. Thanks!

    new MES 30 poor combustion at lower temps

    Thank you, I will do the potato test. I'm not versed on PID, I may have to look into one.

    new MES 30 poor combustion at lower temps

    Thank you JJ - I am familiar with the products, I have both in storage in another state alas. I will contact Todd and make sure they fit in the newer MES.

    SV bags for large cuts?

    Hi Gang, what kind of bag do you use for a large cut? I may do a brisket, that won't fit into a gallon ziploc. Suggestions appreciated. I do not have a vacuum sealer. Thanks, Adam Wilsonville, OR

    Cheap container

    In a pinch I was doing a bunch of lamb loin chops that would not fit into a stock pot. I grabbed a VEGETABLE BIN out of the garage refrigerator and it worked like a charm!!

    new MES 30 poor combustion at lower temps

    Hi All: I have been a member for some years and have not posted for awhile, I even go back as far as good ol' Scarbelly. I replaced an older MES 30 that had a short that I could not fix with new MES 30 Digital [ Masterbuilt MB20071117]. Problem: I am getting very poor combustion at lower...

    Dried Fish

    Hi Dave and thank you very much for the useful information. I've used nitrites in wine making, I'm not worried about them. I will experiment with the drying process. Happy smoking! Adam
