    Smoked Turkey London Broil

    Went to the local Amish market to try and pick up some tri-tip roasts but of course they didn't have any (I'd have better luck hitting the lottery then finding these things on a regular basis around here). But while I was there I noticed in the poultry case they had something labeled as turkey...

    First Tri-Tip

    Living in NJ tri-tip roasts are hard to come by. I finally found a place that has them regularly, but they are a bit pricey per pound at $7.99 per #. It may be because they are all-natural beef, but I don't have any other option so after walking by them for a few months I finally bought one. It...

    MES40 Temperature Differential

    After having an 8# butt take way to long last weekend (over 20 hours) I decided to do some testing on my smoker to see how accurate the smoker's digital temperature indicator was. I have an MES40 with a 1200w heating element. It was approx. 85* outside and 65% humidity. The vent was wide open. I...

    In search of a sauce/glaze

    Does anyone have a suace or glaze for ribs that uses honey & molasses? I am trying to recreate a rib sauce from a local BBQ joint that had sold what they called a "South Carolina" rib that was a sweet clearish finish on a rack of ribs. Unfortunatly the place went out of bisiness a few months ago...

    First fattie x2

    Plans for beer can chicken got scrapped so I did the next thing on the smoking to-do list...make a fattie. And since I was firing the smoker up I figured I'd make two, one for dinner tonight and one for tomorrow morning. For dinner I replicated wndrrd's recipe for a philly cheesesteak that he...

    Beer can chicken and the MES

    I unexpectedly have some time tomorrow and there happens to be a whole chicken in my fridge next to a can of beer-you can see where this is going... I have a pretty good recipe for making beer can chicken on my grill but I would like to give it a try using my MES. My question is can the MES get...

    First BB rib smoke

    Going to attempt my first meat smoke, three full racks of babybacks. It is raining pretty good her and is expected to continue all day. I don't think that should affect the smoker, but if anyone is the wiser please feel free to let me know before I get going. I prepped them late last night and...

    First Smoke

    ...not exactly what I wanted for the first smoke, but got home from work at 7:30 tonight and had to work with what was in the house. Smoked Mac & Cheese, came out great! Took the basic recipe from the Masterbuilt website and modified it with some additional seasonings to liven it up a bit. Used...

    Checking in from NJ

    Hello from NJ! My name is Russ and I am complete novice when it comes to smoking. I can cook fairly well and and pretty creative on the grill so I figured this is the next logical step. Being that I love BBQ and the lack of many restaurants in my area that actually serve real BBQ this is going...

    Bradley vs MES

    My very first post...I can't wait to get some fresh meat that I smoked myself into my mouth but first things first. I have been doing research for a while now on my possible future hardware and have decided that for my first smoker I am going to head in the electric direction. That being said I...
