    Aluminum Foil vs. Butcher Paper

    Recently read an article that talked about some nasty stuff that could leach out of Aluminum Foil when it is used in direct contact with meat while cooking.  My question: Can Butcher Paper be used as a direct replacement for foil during the smoking process?  The only place I have seen it used so...

    First two smokes with MES 30

    OK, I'm hooked.  Why haven't I had a smoker all along?  Better late than never. For my first smoke, I tried some Baby Back Ribs - my wife's favorite pork.  I followed the step-by-step provided by Bear -- thanks Bear for an easy to understand process.  Judging by the smiles around the table from...
