    First smoke ever, using my MES and SMF tips.

    No, I usually leave it out of the slaw and just add it on the bun since some people won't touch anything with mayo in it. Lol

    First smoke ever, using my MES and SMF tips.

    If it's not orange enough add more ketchup, seems like I always end up adding more ketchup than mustard.

    First smoke ever, using my MES and SMF tips.

    I've never really written the recipe down. Just add a bit of this and a bit of that... But it's probably really close to these amounts. Hot slaw 1 medium head of finely shredded green cabbage. 1 cup Finely Grated carrot 1/2 cup of finely Grated onion 2 tsp Paprika 2 tsp Red cayenne pepper (or...

    First smoke ever, using my MES and SMF tips.

    I dried them in the oven for about an hour. I think my issue was that they weren't tightly packed. Thanks for info!

    First smoke ever, using my MES and SMF tips.

    Thanks, it was delicious and my girlfriend was super happy. Lol. Like I said only issue I had was the AMNPS going out at the turn.

    First smoke ever, using my MES and SMF tips.

    So I got my first smoker a few weeks ago. Walmart had the Bluetooth MES 30" on clearance sale for 140. After purchasing I came across this forum, decided to get AMNPS, and did the Mailbox Mod. I already had a Boston butt frozen and decided to pick up another and vacuum seal all the extra...

    Hot/Mustard Slaw for pulled pork and hotdogs???

    Lol, does look kinda similar. Bunyuns has been making it for over the last tweenty years that I remember..probably longer. And almost all the BBQ places around north Alabama have made it that long as well. It probably orginated from something Southerners and the amish have made for probably...

    Hot/Mustard Slaw for pulled pork and hotdogs???

    Searched the forum and didn't really see any mention of it. It's definitely a southern thing (kinda like the Alabama white sauce). I make my own which closely resembles a place called Bunyuns in Florence, Alabama that is famous for it. I don't really have a recipe, kinda just do it by adding...

    Question about a mailbox mod (heat deflector)

    Hello All, so I just got a 30" MESS and a AMNPS. From advice from this forum I went ahead and gutted the wood chip loader, wood chip pan, and the heat deflector off as well because of the was it was made. I then finished the mailbox mod. My question is now that my element is uncovered should...
