    First Pork Rib's, First Q'View

    Very nicely done! I always use the "squeeze butter" when foiling, but haven't tried some brown sugar yet.  I have also found that foiling for 2hrs. is a bit much for me, I like 1.5hrs. better. Thanks for the Qview!

    where to put temp probe in boston butt

    It sounds like you did things correctly.  Each BB is different and stall at different times and lengths.  I give myself plenty of time to reach the desired IT.  I put the probe away from the bone, but still close to the center line of the BB.  I put the probe up to BB to see how far the probe...

    Country Style Ribs...wow

    Did you turn the ribs over at some point to expose all sides to the smoke? Those sure look good!

    Double smoked ham advice

    Dirtsailor, Thanks for the reply.  I had read thru those threads before posting my own.  I guess it all comes down to how much smoke I want to put on the meat.  I guess the whole cook time is what most have recommended and I will just have to give it a try and see what happens. Anyone got...

    First time Boston Butt

    The stall at 150 and then 170 has happened to me on a few occasions and I did question my therms accuracy.  You just got to wait it out and each butt I have cooked is different each time.  I have learned to give myself 2hrs. per pound and if it gets done sooner it sits in a cooler foiled and...

    Double smoked ham advice

    I have been asked to do two double smoked ham's for this Saturday's dinner and it is my first attempt. I will be using a MES 30 GEN1 with my new AMNPS for the first time.  I have read extensively on how to get the AMNPS to smoke like you want it to, but my question is how much smoke is too much...

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    Read thru the entire thread and determined my ma-in-law has the Gen1 model.  So, I just placed an order for 2 AMNPS packages!  One for me and the other for the ma-in-law.  Can't wait to not put chips in every freakin' second!

    Great! My ma in law has the GEN1.  I was worried about the issues with the GEN2.

    What is the best overall electric smoker?

    Ok who uses coyote?

    As with most small to medium sized predators the meat is supposedly very stringy and tough.  Unlike Pork or Beef I don't believe there is much connective tissue to break down, so I don't think you could get it tender with a low and slow cook.  Heck, why don't one of y'all give it a try and let...

    Smoked Venison Backstrap

    Thanks for the post and information.  I am an avid hunter and have two whole backstraps left from last year and have been flirting with idea of smoking one.  I usually just rub 'em down with olive oil and put my steak seasoning on them.  I then slap it whole on a very hot grill for 21/2 to 3...
