    Back Ribs Foil Ingredients

    I use what others have already stated, but I sometimes use Pepper Jelly in place of the brown sugar.

    Anxiously waiting the outcome, but everything looks great so far.

    Masterbuilt Cold Smoker Attachment Burns chips too fast

    Roger, Same situation as you... what kind of setup/materials did you use for that flexible tube?   Looking for a solve just like you... The first time I used my Cold Smoker for a brisket, I noticed that I wasn't getting a good bark and there wasn't much smoke coming thru my MES 40 BT.  So...

    Butcher paper in Ontario

    I wrap my brisket in butcher paper around the 160-165 mark, then back into the smoker to push through the stall and on to 195-200. I find the butcher paper retains the bark crunch better than foil but still allow some smoke to continue to penetrate the meat but not as intense as if you chose...

    Smoking butts in the snow

    Only thing better than q-ing / smoking in the snow is having it snow while your doing it, at lest imho.

    Ideas on attaching Cold Smoker to MES 40in w/stand

    Will do.  Question on your half dozen smokes using it, how did it work out? How long did you have it on?  I will be finding out soon enough as I'm going to smoke a brisket for Christmas Eve but was curious what your experience has been.

    Ideas on attaching Cold Smoker to MES 40in w/stand

    I'm looking for ideas on attaching the Cold Smoker to the MES directly and how to support the Cold Smoker from underneath.   I'm thinking eventually I will have to build some pipe structure as I have seen on here already, but I will wait for the summer weather to embark on that project. In the...

    Watch out for the app on the MES 40 bluetooth.

    Similar happened to me the other day, I don't think my phone ever lost connection but it seemed after an hour had passed and I looked at the temp on my phone it was saying 310 degrees.  Already reading about problems with the BT I went out to the smoker and the temp setting was reading 899. I...
