    My First Brisket

    For the Holiday yesterday I smoked 4 slabs of baby backs and they came out just great.  My neighbor called me and asked what I was smoking and offered to trade some of his holiday food for some ribs.  We did - I swapped a half a slab about 8 bones for BBQ oysters. On the brisket front.  I was...

    My First Brisket

    This will be my 1st brisket.  There is just the two of us, and a full brisket is much too large to me to smoke at one time.  So I have not done one yet.  Can I cut one in half about 6 to 7 pounds and freeze the smaller half and still get a good finished product?  I have an MBS40, and can really...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I have been an amateur Magician for years.  Years ago when this net thing came about I did not want to disclose too much information about myself, hence the name Onemagicman.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I am an amateur Magician.  Have been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for 21 years.  Needed a unique "name" when this whole internet thing started and that just fit the combination of letters that was required then.   OMM

    trimming spareribs St.Louis Style

    For Labor Day I smoke eight ribs.  I purchased whole spares and prepared them St. Louis style - saving quite a bit of cash.  I have pounds of the left over "trimmings."  Is there anything I can do with this left over fat/meat?   Thanks, in advance  Bill

    Smokin1

    I have a Master Built 40 and have pretty well done very well with various meets.  Now for my Wife's Birthday, we are having our first of the year BBQ in our back yard.  I want to smoke two briskets and will try and find them under 10 pounds.  I tried a brisket last year and I could have replaced...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I have a 40 w/windows and purchased at Sam's Club two years ago.  For me it just works great and it did take me sometime to learn how to smoke with it.  My neighbors also like the smoke smell - as well as their dogs - and I always make sure a few of them get "samples" of the finished product.  I...

    Baby Back Ribs at Costco

    I just purchased 9 slabs of Baby Backs at Costco yesterday for Father's day, which I will put into my smoker.  They were $3.69 per pound.  They had spare ribs for $2/69, but it worth the extra few dollars for the BB.  I have never seen the ribs at Costco with the membrane already removed.  I...

    Cart Modification for MES. Nice!

    What a great idea.  I have almost ruined my drip pan on my MES40 when trying to move around.  Will purchase one this week. Thanks for the great tip!

    What a Day to be Smokin'

    WOW! That's brisket!  I want to do one for 14 of us on Sunday, May 1st.  I am new to smoking and have a MBS 40.  I have done two briskets in the past and could not serve them to anyone.  I overcooked them so bad and so dry I could have used them to chuck my tires. I believe I left them in much...

    I emailed Lisa yesterday and heard back from her right away with an acknowledgment then a few hours later with links, etc.  This morning I compared prices for Qt's, Gallon bags and rolls with her pricing and with Amazon.  A Qt. bag at Amazon is .40 and Lisa's price is .28 each.  The rolls are...
