    I'm actually kinda worried there won't be enough. I have to feed my family and all of my in-laws. Gadgetman53 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Ham

    Got an unfrozen smoked(cold)/cured ham from Kroger. Put Jeff's rub on it and into MES 30 with AMZNPS full of maple, cherry, hickory blend for 6 or so hours at 250. Here it is before wrapping in foil and putting it in freezer for Thanksgiving. Of course in had to test the quality of it before...

    Best Ham for Christmas

    You will probably be told it is too late to get a raw (uncured) ham. If you get a raw ham and smoke it, you'll end up with pulled pork (from what I've read). I bought a precooked pre smoked ham from WalMart and heated it up in my MES30 with some smoke. It was delicious (had a taste prior to...

    Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    For us. We are going to have it all in a cooler on the way to wedding location (6 hrs away). Hopefully it will have thawed a decent amount by then so we can let it sit in fridge overnight and then heat in oven right before rehearsal dinner. My mom didn't think all I cooked would be enough so...

    Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    Thanks for the tips! That actually helps quite a bit! Thanks! I will do my best to save the juices from the pork and do that.  Would you recommend pulling and wrapping in aluminum foil and in gallon ziplocs for freezing? Thanks, Gadgetman53

    Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    I will be smoking meat this weekend to freeze to help my parents out in preparing for my wedding rehearsal dinner (2 weeks from today). We're planning on around 30 people. I would rather have more food than not enough. My mom will do side dishes, but I will be in charge of the meet. I was...

    Turkey w/Q-View

    Just took this bad boy out of my MES 30. I bribed it for 24 hours using some brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and Tony's Cajun seasoning. Then injected with some creole butter and rubbed more Cajun seasoning on. Put into my MES 30 at 275 until it reached 165 IT all...

    Advice needed

    Thanks all for the replies. These were the fastest cooking pork shoulders I've ever done. They were ready this morning and I've already pulled them. I was really surprised at how quick they cooked. I still think Boston Butt is a better cut of meat though. But I'm my worst critic. We'll see how...

    Advice needed

    That's what I ended up doing (double foiled and back in at 225). We shall se how it turns out. I've only used Boston butt roasts before. Gadgetman53 Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
