    Brisket too big for mes30

    I am not telling you to cut it but I will tell you what I have done.  One was a 10+ pounder and the other was just at 11# I just folded the top of the flat up against the door/wall as I laid it sideways on the rack.  It shrinks a bit while it cooks and all went good.  I have only cooked two but...

    Bloody chicken at temp

    I tell my wife the same thing but I guess she kinda gets turned off.  So last time I smoked some chicken, I bought two and one was on the smoker and the other on the grill.  I cooked both to the same temp and SHOWED her the thermometer reading.  Cut into the slow cooked bird and had red around...

    Buy your rub? Or make it?

    Like the others, I am a SPOD + Cayenne pepper kind of guy.  I have tried some of the others and while they are good, my wife wants it a bit more simple.  Everybody likes different things so you cannot go wrong by trying different rubs. I have also done three racks of ribs cut in half and tried...

    24+ Hours to Smoke Two Butts??

    I cooked one a while back that finished a LOT sooner than I thought it would and about 8 months ago I had one go for 22 hours.  Always cook at 225.  Both were in the 8 pound range.  I usually start between 11-12 midnight and want it for supper but that one time....

    New spice source in some major cities - 15 states

    If you get to the Dallas/Fort Worth area go to a place called Penderys.  It's a small store that has soooo much stuff it'll blow you away.  I only got there about once a year but will go out of my way to see the store in person.  They are famous for their chili powder.. http://www.penderys.com/

    This thing is blowing me away!

    Hey spursfan, I am in Victoria.  If you want to see the AMNPS. let me know. I'll meet you somewhere and let you look at one. I have used it since the third smoke on my MES and that was 2 1/2 years ago.  It just works and works well. I have read about some people who always/never have trouble...

    2 attempt w/ribs

    Once you try the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 and then do the no foil again, you will never try wrapping them again.  They just come out better.
