    Helps finding a butcher - Milwaukee

    So I typically get my meats from Costco or the local grocery store, with the occasional visit to a meat market. My question is this: I am looking to get half a pig or perhaps half a cow. Does anyone here have experience in using a local butcher for this? My buddy got half a pig and his meats...

    President's Day Smoke

    Oh man, not off on President's Day? That puts a dent I my plans for February of 2050. In any event I will shred this up and make a few sandwiches.

    President's Day Smoke

    It is what the founding fathers would want, smoked meat in celebration of not having to go to work. I have this pork butt going on in a few minutes, then they will be followed by some brats that I soaked over night in a dark beer (blue moon's Rounder) and some onions, and I will throw on a...

    Sunday Brisket Smoke

    Finished up the brisket, my most moist yet, needed a bit more pepper in the rub, and need to figure out how to get a good bark and keep the moisture.

    Sunday Brisket Smoke

    Had a near disaster. The smoker tipped over with a huge gust of wind. Luckily the brisket stayed in the body of the smoker when it was laying on the side and the pork butt ended up in the lid of the smoker. I quickly got the oven to 250, wrapped both pieces of meat in a double foil, then let...

    My 2nd smoke.... trying a nice 7lbs brisket (With Pics!!!!)

    The joys of smokin! I had an almost bigger fail. My smoker took a gust of wind from the opposite side of where I had the wind block set up and tipped over. I was able to save the brisket as it never hit the concrete. I heated the oven to 250 and was able to get it to temperature in just a...

    Sunday Brisket Smoke

    I've hit a stall on mine, both the brisket and pork butt are just above 140, have the smoker running at 250, lunch with the pork is out of the question. Hope yours is running a bit better than mine.

    My 2nd smoke.... trying a nice 7lbs brisket (With Pics!!!!)

    Looks like a great Brisket! I have one in the smoker right now for Costco too. Can I asks why you score the fat cap? I have always heard to keep it intact, as always there is a multitude of ways to do everything's just wondering about your experience and if it helps the tenderness. As for the...

    Sunday Brisket Smoke

    Starting off with a brisket smoke, got a nice Brisket from Costco. Just salt and pepper in that rub, will plan on foiling at 170 with a little moisture added in the foil, then let her go to 195. Also threw on a small pork but that was hanging on from the summer farmers market, should make for...

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    I just received my MES 40, out of the box it doesn't work. The unit turns on, reads the temperature inside the cabinet, but will not heat up. I was hoping for the burn in on this unit and my AMNPS today and a long smoke tomorrow. Good thing I still have my Brinkman Electric smoker to use...

    Long time viewer, finally registered.

    I have enjoyed this site for a couple years now and finally joined in. I am located in Wisconsin so this site has been keeping me busy lately with the -17 degree weather and the -47 degree wind chills... I have been smoking for about two years now on a Brinkman Electric Smoker, but decided to...
