    Finally getting cool enough to do some cheese. Planning on doing a large variety to give out as gifts. Last year I smoked cheese with the mailbox mod and it worked beautifully. Hardest part is waiting at least 6 weeks for the resting period.

    Labor Day Pork Shoulder Butt

    Got a little over 8lb pork shoulder butt and cut off the excess fat. I've never done that before but read here that it's good to do in a MES. I still put it in "fat" side down and didn't rotate, spray, or even put water in the pan like I used to do on my Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition.I...

    Greetings from upstate NY!

    Here's a picture from my first smoke. Plan on doing a couple racks of ribs for Labor Day and will share some photos then too.
