    First brisket loaded in the MES

    Yep, smoking my first brisket tonight. Got an 11 lb packer. It had a pretty thick fat cap so I trimmed it up best I could. I injected it with some beef stock then sprinkled on some salt, pepper, and Montreal steak seasoning. I'm going to make ChefJJ's au ju sauce to go with it. Hopefully...

    AMNPS and MES

    I'm looking for some tips on using the AMNPS with my MES. I know its been talked about before, but I'm browsing on my phone and its hard to search. The instructions say not to use water in pan. Will it effect it? I've got my chip loader pulled out about 2" and my exhaust about half open...

    MES40 first smoke and first thoughts

    Started my UDS build today.

    Well sorta....I picked up two drums. Gonna build one for myself and one for my dad for fathers day. Both drums are reconditioned and unlined. Have to decide if I want to do a burn out or just hit them with the weed burner. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

    MES40 on its seasoning rub!

    Got my new MES put together and its now seasoning. It heated up fairly quickly according to its temp controller. However, I'm halfway through the 3 hour run at 275° and according to my maverick its only at 241. That's got me a bit concerned. I know there are some problems with them but was...

    Smoking on the Weber kettle

    I plan on throwing a butt on the kettle in a little while. It will be my second smoke with it. Kinda have a dumb question though. Ill be using chunks this time. Would it be OK to put the chunks on the grate above the fire or do I need to put them in the fire? Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
