    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    Just wanted to finally say thank you Dutch! Been making these beans since I joined the forum 5ish years ago now! They get cooked up just about every BBQ event I smoke something for. Though I have now resulted to making a quad batch and tweaking things a bit to the suggestions of many. First...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Did four butts yesterday with the larger water pan and it worked great. I filled it to about the same amount as the stock one and it only filled up to within two inches of the rim with drippings. Temps seemed a little more consistent, I ran at 222-225F all night long with my maverick ET-73. You...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    I have both the old MES 40" and the new 2012 MES 40". Going on about three months with the new unit. Had to have a replacement left foot and plastic sure handle shipped as mine mysteriously cracked. Other than the cosmetic things I've been pretty pleased so far. However when I first got the unit...

    has anybody ever smoked 8 pork shoulders at once in a MES 40?

    Glad it worked out for you, I do four #8-9 pounders every week for the last two years in my MES 40". This last summer I did stuff it with a full load of eight butts a couple times, and it worked out great. I think this is because of the 1200 watt element that can totally keep up with that amount...

    My "Wi-Fi" Maverick ET-73

    We're on Time Warner cable with 25/down 5/up and it works fine. We actually have an 8 camera system with dvr from Costco and setup is pretty easy. Though you may have to call your provider and have them set you on a static IP address. After that you only have to download one of the many ip...

    My "Wi-Fi" Maverick ET-73

    I have seen the iGrill, unfortunately it's only bluetooth capable which is fine if you're within 200 feet of the device. I need miles lol! Like five at the most. However if someone were to develop an app where you could connect the iGrill to a PC and post the monitoring to the web that would...

    My "Wi-Fi" Maverick ET-73

    I have searched the interweb high and low but alas I have not been able to find a Wi-Fi digital thermometer. I know it sounds like a crazy and trivial option. For me to go off site to be able to monitor my smoker temps a few miles away from work while catching a few zzz's or running errands its...

    MES 40" busted element.

    After working in the Tech Support/IT Industry for eight years I got used to negative complaints. Now whenever I personally have a good customer service experience I make sure to compliment/rave about the company as positive feedback is hard to come by these days.

    MES 40" busted element.

    I've owned a MES 40" all stainless w/ window for over a year now and about two weeks ago the element went cold while I was smoking some peppers. Thank the smoking gods it didn't break the night before as I was smoking 45 pounds of pork butt overnight! Using the unit 40-60 hours a month for over...

    Baby Back Ribs at Costco

    I noticed this too. Yesterday.I stopped into costco to pick up some spare ribs for my uncles girlfriend's birthday party tonight. All they had were st. louis cuts, normally it would have been fine but I wanted the skirts to chop up for the Dutch's Wicked Beans. The meat guy must have noticed how...
