    MES Analog - no hole for temp probes

    This is definitely a "Newbie" question, so I appreciate your patience while you indulge me :) I have a MES analog smoker, and have recently purchased a Maverick ET-732. Naturally, it has the 2 probe wires that connect to the transmitter. However, after very close scrutiny, I have been unable to...

    So, what's the deal with "foiling"?

    Man, this is really a lot of great information! Guess a lot of this really does boil down to personal preference...and I am looking forward to diving in and figuring out my own way of doing it. That being said, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, and if I don't have to re-invent the...

    So, what's the deal with "foiling"?

    Hello Gals and Guys - getting ready to smoke my (essentially) first pork butt tomorrow, and I am a little confused as to whether I should be using aluminum foil and/or a foil pan; and if so, at what stage in the process. I am using a MES, and planning on starting it up about 6am in the morning...

    Newbie question about marinading pork before smoking

    Thanks for all the great info so far! So, it seems that it certainly won't "hurt" the meat to marinate (with a "t" !! ) with apple cider, even if does not greatly benefit or enhance the finished flavor. Based on your experiences, it seems then that the wood itself will play a far greater role...

    Removing ashes

    Probably a really silly question...but, hey, I'm a newbie at this!! I have an electric smoker that has a small metal box that holds the wood chips. My question is: when the chips have burned, and turned to ash, and I need to add some new chips...I am supposed to remove the box (with an oven...

    Newbie question about marinading pork before smoking

    Thanks! I came across a recipe that called for marinading overnight in apple cider (along with spices, etc). What are your thoughts?

    Newbie question about marinading pork before smoking

    Just curious if most folks marinaded pork butts / shoulders before smoking? If so - for how long? (overnight or 2-3 hours) Also - is there a difference between a marinade and a brine, or is this simply word choice? Brine, to me, always conjures up an image of a salty bath. Thanks so much...
