    Meals & sides

    So I've had my mes smoker for a while, but I have a hard time thinking outside the box. I like smoked meat, but every time we make it, we go all bbq mode, coleslaw, mac salad, cornbread, etc. that's fine once in awhile but not all the time. Suggestions for smoking something w/o the whole bbq...
