new rack from lowes and saturdays brisket, any preference on wood with brisket, mesquite or hickory? oak?
Good to see you Buzz!!!!OK, first hello again all, its been quite a while since I have been on here because my 2 drawer filing cabinet build failed miserably due to thin flimsy metal and lack of insulation as well as a rush at work that left me with absolutely no time to worry about my smoker so i ultimately dumped it in my condo dumpster. However, I am proud to announce I have just took the plunge on a MES 30 with window and control, blah blah, smaller unit, easier to control, visually appealing, and i can now successfully smoke some nice cuts of meat! very excited, should be lined up for my first smoke next weekend if not this week!
Alright!!!!! The MES 40 is much better!!!haha i plunged further my friend! the 40" was only another 50 bucks and I knew I would be kicking myself down the road if I didnt get the big boy so I cancelled the order and got the 40, put it together yesterday, seasoned it early this morning, doing a test run with some store bought sausage tonight just to make sure I can maintain the internal environment for when I try a brisket this weekend. As for the AMZNPS I am ordering it today or this weekend, 8-10 hours without babysitting, hell yes im on board! this is all very fun for me, have another friend who is an avid hunter and getting into smoking like me so this is all very good stuff, going to be a great winter!!
