Well Dad, looks you have some serious competition on your hands! What a beautiful job on the cook. I think this girl can put a lot of BBQ joints out of business. Maybe, her first competition should be a Father, Daughter throwdown??

You have a Very Smart young lady on your hands. Quick thinking on using the oven (instead of roaming around in the dark wondering where dad hid those pellets). Can not wait to see the cook.

A $1000 pellet smoker for $7 bucks. That's a WIN Nice cook on that chicken!

This week one of our local grocery stores (No Frills) was selling Ungraded Beef Rib roasts from Mexico. 1/2 price of other retailers like Costco. Very skeptical of quality. Found out that beef from Mexico is from heat-tolerant cattle or older cows and bulls rather than the specific European...

The wifi is no big thing. I'm always near the smoker anyway. I just got use to the blue tooth in my old MES

Good Afternoon: I recently purchased the electric WiFi 710.....it has a few quirks. Do you have to pair it everytime you fire it up? I do. Open door warning, this is a crazy feature. Everytime you open the door it suspends the cook. To get the unit cooking again while using the app you...

So, let me get this straight. The thin blue smoke from the smoker is offensive, the charcoal grill smoke is offensive and the smell of steak cooking on the gas grill is offensive. Except, these same tree huggers are ok with the entire neighborhood sitting around and smoking their marijuana day...

Chuck Roast update: Thanks to everyone for their expert advise. I decided on the brisket style with beef broth pan under the beef. Set smoker at 250 deg and cooked meat until 165 deg IT. Wrapped roast, added 1/4c juice and a tablespoon of butter, and continued to until 195 deg IT. Did the...

Good Afternoon Everyone: I purchased a Chuck Top Blade roast from Costco today. I have dry brined it and injected a marinade into it. I wanted to put it in my MES tomorrow, but I am looking for your expert help. At what temperature should the smoker be for a low and slow cook, and what...

Wow what a good video! Here in Canada, supermarkets have been famous for the Rename of a cut of beef so that they can charge more money. Unless, you look at it in the package closely sometimes you cannot tell. As for the rolled roast (the one with the fat tied on with the string-not...

Good Morning David: One last silly question of the day....how long do you let the pickles sit before opening the jar? Tx Charlene

Thank for the post on the pickles. The last time I tried to make a sweet/hot pickle they were soggy. I never knew (nor does any of these pickling supply sites said) not to get the water over 180 deg. I guess that is why grandma never water bathed pickles. Very hot brine and scorching hot jars.

That looks awesome. I have a question...did you smoke until you got the color you wanted then finished in the oven, or was it all done in the smoker?

My Birthday Gift was a new Halo Griddle...Hubby converted it to LNG for me (hate running to refill propane) All Videos and forums saying griddle runs at 500 deg Plus. Wow..chow could burn quickly at that rate. Seasoned the griddle as per instructions, fired up and warmed up on low, after 10...

I have a Cuisinart Burr grinder.....JUNK!!! It will not grind at the fine setting. No matter what you choose it is a very course grind. It would overheat after grinding a 1/2 pound of beans. After multiple calls and emails to the manufacturer. They send me an email with an attachment on...
