    Pork Belly with Mustard & Vinegar Sauce

    I based the 160° off of some of the recipes that I found in a couple books and online but next time I will definitely take it up closer to the 200° range where I do my pork butts. I also want to try to take on some bacon in the near future.

    Pork Belly with Mustard & Vinegar Sauce

    I took my first stab at a BBQ pork belly today in my MES. It took about four hours in the smoker to reach 160° at a smoker temperature that hovered between 225° and 250°. I used a 4 pound pork belly and scored it on both sides before applying a simple pork rub. Here is the rub: -2 tbsp of...

    Tri-Tip with Honey Bourbon Mushrooms

    That's a good looking meal. I've never even thought about putting the chimney over the side burner on my grill. Your post may have just made my next smoke a whole lot better and saved me some cleaning. Great job

    Ribs, Pork Butt, and Mac & Cheese

    Heres my update on dinner tonight. The ribs and mac & cheese were awesome. I used the 3-2-1 method of smoking which resulted in some pretty good pull from the bone and great flavor without any additional sauce needed. After I pulled the ribs out of the smoker I used the leftover juices from the...

    First Smoke a Success (kind of)

    Those look like they have a nice skin on them and I am glad the meat cooked well for you for your first smoke. Next time to avoid the smokey flavor you should try using a more mild wood like pecan or apple. Hickory and mesquite woods tend to give a strong smoke flavor.

I finished it off unwrapped for a short time until it hit...
