    MES. 30 inch NEED MORE SMOKE??

    When I was rather young my grandfather used to use pear and cherry wood for smoking.  He mostly had Pear Trees on his property and once and awhile he'd lose one to a bad frost, cut it up, and he'd use that for smoking venison sausage or the turkey for thanksgiving.  My tastes has since refined...

    My first time...at a butt...OH MY!

    I think it turned out great!  I ended up pulling it out of the cooker @ 187 after about 16 hours.  I wrapped it and let it rest for almost 1.5 hours before I pulled. Next I think next time I will just be a few tweaks to the rub to make it a bit spicier.  I was conservative with company coming...

    My first time...at a butt...OH MY!

    It’s been awhile since I have used my cooker and work has consumed my life but this weekend it’s coming out of the garage. I am craving some good smoked eats and want to try my hand at a boston butt or a shoulder.  I am looking for advice for a first-timer.  I’ve played with rubs and sauces...

    Water pans, do you use them and why?

    Yeah that's a rather intense swing in temps.  I am either running about 20-30º too hot or this last smoke I was running ~45º too cold for some reason.  I haven't really bothered with calling Masterbuilt on the issue(s) because it seems, no matter your generation, you're going to have to deal...
