    Ribeye on the 1050

    My local Hannaford's had a special on bone-in Ribeye for $6.99lb, so bought enough to fill the freezer for the winter :emoji_sunglasses:. Wanted to test one out on the new 1050. Had purchased the super sear manifold from LSS. Put the manifold cover on and smoked with Mesquite for about an hour...

    First pulled pork on the 1050

    It's been a while since I've been out here. Bought a Masterbuilt 1050 on clearance at home depot for $400. It was a demo already assembly. Was having a pot luck at work and tried some pulled pork. Have to say it came out pretty good. Set temp at 255, was actual 238 on bottom grate, 245 on...

    Re heating shoulder

    I use the microwave at 40% power, mix every 3 minutes or so until warmed up. Does a good job to get it warm without cooking/drying it further.

    Heriloom seeds. What's up with that?

    Heirlooms can blow away hybrids in flavor and size, but are less disease resistant. I grow a variety of them each year, but the last two years were terrible. Rained all June! Without warm temps and sun nothing is going to do well, hybrids or heirlooms. I grow mine in self watering containers and...

    Don't you wish you lived in San Fran??

    Does banning a few fireplaces really have that much impact? How cold does it get there anyways?

    Some questions about my turkey smoke...

    I'd go with a couple of bone in whole breasts. Basically, the front half of the turkey.A boneless breast might cook pretty quick and not get much smoke time. The bone in whole breasts usually take around 3hrs @ 300° and they come out pretty good. I pull them out around 163 internal temp.

    MES Element Truly Broken

    I believe the MES heater is a tubular heater formed to their specs. Omega sells them, but they need to be bent into shape. I've used them a few times and you have to be careful bending them. Once you get the shape and you heat it up there is no going back, the sheath is now annealed and cannot...

    I Got Layed Off Today

    Sorry to hear about your job Ron, hang in there. It does seem that some businesses are starting to pickup. The economy is like a freight train, once the momentum has stopped it takes time to get it back up to speed once it's going again. It will come around again...lets just hope sooner than...

    Has anyone used their smoker to dry out their wood?

    You could always weigh some pieces first for a baseline and weigh the same pieces again after to see how much water you evaporated out of the wood. The rest should track the same if you make the sizes similar. Look for somewhere around a 25%~30% reduction in the weight of your test pieces. It...

    Imperial Gasket Kit

    Don't use the cement that comes with the rope! It becomes hard and brittle when dried, won't hold up. I would use a hi temp silicon gasket maker/adhesive (Permatex). Get it from an auto parts store. Another option is attach it with some small rivets.

    Fan for the MES

    The exhaust fan can only pull as much air out as the intake inlet will let in. So why not rig up something to push clean air into the intake? That way your fan stay cool and clean.

    Sam's Club changing return policy on electronics.

    I wouldn't have a problem returning some that breaks within their return period, which in this case is anytime. All the guys out here with the Sam's Masterbuilt units struggling with the heater and controller problems should be aware they can get a free replacement or their money back anytime...
