    MES 40 Questions

    Decided to make some sausage yesterday. Started my MES 40 Sportsman Elite to heat up and went back out an hour later and it was hovering basically at the 61 deg. Basically the temp it was outside. In recent smokes, it seemed to be taking a long time to come up to temp. I have a few questions...

    First rump roast

    With the price of beef these days, you cook what’s on sale. So yesterday I tackled a rump roast for the first time. After getting a lot of helpful hints right here, it turned out great! And after reading about it, I had to try chefjimmyj’s au jus. My advice. Make this every time you do a...

    I haven't posted in a long time, but I do still consult this site frequently. I wanted to give a few shout outs after today's Fathers Day meal. Let me explain. With the price of beef skyrocketing, I wanted a cheaper alternative for a nice Father's Day meal, as it has become a tradition for me to...

    Pork Belly Burnt Ends

    Trying this for the first time tomorrow. Sadly, my wife is a wuss, so I'm going to have to go with a sweet sauce instead of a spicy one. I think it will still be dang good!

    Kickoff Time!

    It's NFL kickoff time, and I can't think of anything better than watching some football, having a few cold ones, and smoking some "chuckies"! Just put 10 of them on the Masterbuilt 40". Plan is to smoke them with a pecan/hickory mix up until the stall, then pan them in some Guinness and beef...
