    Is my Boston Butt rotten now? HELP!

    OK So I took it out and Im tossing it. My neighbor is still sleeping but Im about to wake him and thank him for F'ing up my food. Rule #1 Never mess with a fat persons food, especially BBQ!

    Is my Boston Butt rotten now? HELP!

    It did go from the fridge into pan, rubbed and onto the hot smoker as quickly as possible. Never heard of sterilizing the probe before. I always give it a good quick cleaning before use every time though. Is there a way to tell if its rotten or is it a eat it and find out? Besides the obvious...

    Is my Boston Butt rotten now? HELP!

    Probe was in the whole time. Between the Mrs outside smoking her last cig and the neighbor who has to walk by the smoker- not sure what happened. I was told at 2am (last cig) it was all plugged in and going. On the side note I just hit the 160 threshold and covered it and added some apple...

    Is my Boston Butt rotten now? HELP!

    I thought I would be smart and spend most of the 13 hrs sleeping. SO I fired up the MES 40 and got things rolling. Went to bed. Somewhere between 2am and 5am my MES40 shut off. When I checked at 5am the meat probe said 92 inside the meat and the box was 65... So I promptly fired it back up to...

    AMNPS + MES40 with mailbox mod troubles

    I just completed mine. Make sure the mailbox is lower than the piping going into the smoker. Open your vent all the way open.Once a vacuum starts and the smoke gets rolling it will continue on. I dont microwave my pellets anymore. I put them on a cookie sheet and in the oven on 170 for...

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    That may be, but Im 100% fine with it. Using the electric just made sense for me. My unit is used/stored on a covered porch. I cant very well use an flamed unit. Sure I grill, but I attend to that. I think its funny how people complain about simply adding a $40 product to ease the use. I guess...

    Your not going to get an expensive high quality smoker for under $300. Even the people building these MES40's need to make a profit and eat. If you demand perfection, get your wallet out or quit complaining. I bought my MES40 w/2 year extended warranty and havent had a lick of problems. My...

    MES40 full muscle jerky

    Pointer #1 dont overload it. If you have eastman racks like I have pictured the first rack can be set low. The other two racks on top must be set tall, otherwise they dont dry out properly. #2 dont jam it all together. A little breathing room is OK. I try to leave at least 1/4"-1/2" between...

    Hi Mountain rubs and seasonings

    I use the jerky blends exclusively now. Ive tried the LEM one and I didnt like it at all-prepared right to directions. With the hi mountain stuff I always add a little this or that, never going crazy though. I often add crushed red pepper to spice it up. I also mix in various chinese sauces for...
