    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    It is not an anomaly! I too have the same Masterbuilt model you own. What I mean with the statement is that it is going out because of a very "definite" and very good reason and the result of that which is causing the problem is to be expected! Big deal... rhetoric, where is the solution...

    looking for a ham glaze

    The flavor of sugar by definition is sweet. Yet sweet taste is derived from many sources, i.e. plain sugar from various sources such as sugar cane, artificial means such as saccharine. Next time you do a glaze consider this recipe: 1) Maple syrup 2) Brown sugar 3) Peach preserve 4) Chinese...

    AMNPS with cajun injector electric smoker

    Hey Johnnyb!  I have the Cajun injector smoker. I do not use the side chip chute anymore. I only use the amazing smoker that works flawlessly every time.  A few tips that might make the results more predictable: 1) Place the amazing smoker on the two rails that extend to the left of the...

    pellets smolder, pellets burn with a flame

    Well, well I thought my mess-up days were over! Currently have 2-9.5# butts in my MES set at 225* hoping I do not get a creosote tasting pulled pork tomorrow. In preparation for tonight's cook, I experimented with the 5x8 amazn smoker by doing 3 short trial smokes without turning the MES on...

    appatizers

    Brushetta is an excellent antipasto! Quick and easy to fix and very light. I usually toast my bread on the grill until I get some grill marks. The bread will do very well on the grill if the olive oil is spread on the bread before placing on the grill. An ultra easy topping is plan ole' pico...

    Pellets....for smoke or heat source?

    Time to get the sleeping giants to shed a little lite on the subject! Since I do not know the difference... help me learn. My understanding is pellet grills are versatile for any type of cooking such as burgers, steaks, veggies; is anything cooked on a pellet grill going to have a smoky taste...

    Churrasco

    RIb eye, T-bone, almost all steaks will be ok with just salt and pepper. However, there are some beef cuts that one may need to trade tenderness for "FLAVOR FILLED, or FLAVORFUL". Here is what I mean; skirt steak is typically going to be tough and chewy but if one does not mind the trade off...

    Bama Gathering????

    Good morning! This is Albert Rivera and would  like to kick off some type of gathering in North Alabama depending on interest. My thoughts are that a few may express an interest and probably will become involved in the organizing effort. I do not feel it will be successful unless others aside...

    Has anyone actually tried Big Bob Gibson's white BBQ Sauce?

    Maybe we can keep this thread active so others  from the area discover this dialogue about a gathering in North Alabama. We can make this happen! I am thinking a midday thing where everyone that attends can share stories, experiences and maybe "cook their favorite food". Somewhat of a family...
