Smoking Fanatic

Portland, TN.
I have been a member of this forum for a little while now and am now going to try to post one of my endevors. Thanks to everyone for all the info in this forum without which I would not have known where to start when I got my smoker. I have made several butts, summer sausage, sticks and other smoked sausage. This is the first one I have tried to document. Please forgive my negligence, I will try to do better in the future.

I picked up this strip loin on sale and plan to smoke it to 135-140 and slice thin for some awsome sandwichs. I will be using either hickory or pitmasters blend. I have a MES30 and MES40 with an AMNPS.

Trimmed up. I don't like much fat in my beef about 1lb 14oz after trimming

K.I.S.S. method I like the flavor of the beef not a lot of spices

Looks good so far.

best sandwich I have ever had was from a holiday inn in Darwin Australia. I have always wanted to recreate it.

i will be watching
 
Looks good!! I have been eating a ton of strip lately. A local meat market has had them on sale for $2.99/Lb. for a couple months now.

We are about 2 hours South of you!   We just got some strong winds.  Hope no one was hurt with the Tornados!

No tornados close to me, lucky so far. Just strong wind. All the rain didn't help, ground was so wet it pulled the tie downs out of the ground.
 
Pulled at 147 got distracted with another project and went over my target temp, should still be some great sliced meat.

Looks great, the wet spot on the right is where  the probe was.

Going to wrap in foil, let it cool for a bit then into the fridge and slice tomorrow.

Money shots to follow tomorrow when I break out the slicer.
 
Looks Great! I need to do some beef as soon as I get my Canadian Bacon smoked up. What brand, model, etc is the slicer? I've been keeping my eye out on the sales and hope to pick one up soon.

It is made by globe, chefmate 9" belt driven. I found it on craigslist for 350.00. A little pricey but it is such a step up from the old rival 7" that I used for yaers.

I did look at some hobart slicers that I found on craigslist for some good prices but they are so big and heavy I didn't know where I would keep it and didn't want to carry

it very far. This one fits in a lower cabinet and isn't too heavy to move around.
