    Brisket Flat (step by step with Qview)

    Bear, I smoked my first brisket today. I used your step-by-step method and it came out beautiful! My wife said it was the best brisket she has ever had. We have a local smokehouse which has the best smoked meats of any restaurant around (not a chain) and this brisket was better than theirs! We...

    Brisket Flat (step by step with Qview)

    Bear, I shopped at a couple of stores, one had no brisket and the other only had ones that were about two pounds. Igot three, 2.04#, 1.98#, and 1.88#. They are about 1-11/4" thick.

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    Bear, Have you ever tried adding root beer as the liquid when you foil the butt? Have seen recipes for slow cooker butt with root beer and wondering if you or anyone has done this. Thanks, Frankie

    MES Window Cleaning Solution

    I use a ScotchBrite pad and nothing but warm water. Green side on glass, sponge on seal. No chemicals, easy (for me), looks new.

    Cleaning MES 30"

    Bear, thanks for your input and the posts of so many others. All my smokes have been successful and my wife and I have been very impressed with the moist, tender, and flavorful meats for a first time smoker using tips and techniques from this site.

    Cleaning MES 30"

    I cover my water pan and drip tray with foil to make for easier cleanup. I want to know if anyone has covered the shield that covers the element and wood chip tray. Drippings really get baked on and are hard to remove. What do you think?

    Smoked chicken wings

    I par boil my chicken wings for thirty minutes to get rid of the excess fat. I drain them and let them cool enough to handle. I then pat them mostly dry, place in a plastic bag, add my favorite dry rub and massage into the wings. I let sit in the fridge overnight. On the day of the smoke I add...
