    Quick question on wet cured pork belly

    13 days ago, I began curing a pork belly using Pop's recipe for bacon.  As you all know, it is a wet brine/cure and it makes some amazing bacon.   I use 2 gallon ziplock bags for curing the belly and make sure to eliminate all air in the bag so that the belly is submerged in the brine the...

    Does anyone have a recipe that tastes similar to Wild Bill's Jerky?

    I love Wild Bill's jerky and I'm hoping that someone here will have a copy cat recipe.  I've found a few recipes online, but they are Yahoo forum answers, so I don't trust them.   I'm hoping one of the members here has a good answer for me!

    What do you use for a drip tray on your GOSM 3405GW's?

    I just got a GOSM 3405GW.  I've done a couple smokes on it and have noticed that it seems to leak juices from the bottom of the unit.  This is due to nothing in the bottom of the unit to catch drippings that fall behind or to the side of the water pan.  I've considered lining the bottom of the...

    MES 30 Owners, please help!

    I bought a MES 30 last July.  I've gotten good use out of it, but a couple weeks ago, my smoker died in the middle of the night.  The control panel still comes on and says it was heating but the element wouldn't turn on.  I tested the voltage at the connectors of the heating element and there...

    Electric smoker element went out! Looking to go propane. Which 2 door model should I choose?

    Last weekend, my heating element went out in my MES 30.  It happened in the middle of the night, with two pork shoulders going! So, I decided, in addition to ordering a new heating element for my MES 30, I'd also buy a propane smoker so that I can always have a viable option to smoke, with or...

So, if anyone here knows a great...
