THANKS ALL I will NOT REUSE Brine, but will make a new batch for second Turkey.

Just came from Sams. Got 2 Fresh turkeys- reduced to 58 cents per pound. They want to move them out from Thanksgiving. I plan to brine one turkey to smoke, and then had planned to freeze the other. BUT got to thinking , Could I remove the first turkey from brine ( rinse, pat dry) and freeze it...

I just made 2 gallons of brine and found I only needed 1 gallon.  How can I save 1 gallon of brine?  How long will it keep? Thanks

A BIG THANKS to Pineywoods & Karen for hosting the gathering.  PLUS a BIG THANKS to all the cooks that put on such a super spread. The food was unbelievable!!! We are still full. THANKS again for the super BBQ smokein.

I have a couple of questionss 1. Has anyone upgraded an 800w unit to the 1200w  AND installed the 800w unit to left of chip box. Of course this would be on a seperate 110v input. This could be controller via just on/off, a thermostat control OR question 2. Second heating element controlled...

Has anyone use the cooking(roasting bags) like for turkeys to put ribs in with liquid instead of foil? Seems that everytime I foil, I end up with a leak.

How do most of you smoke your pork ribs in the MES? Do you the 3-2-1 method? or just put in and leave til done? Put in then spray every hour til done? What temp do you use? What temp cook to ? Remove when done- foil wrap ? for how long? The reason I ask is that there was a thread about...

OK I'm a newbie with the MES(w window) from Sams. This is third time to use unit. Did some chicken legs/thighs and some meatballs. All turned out great. BUT when I put wood chips in ( 1 cup at a time) each hour. The chips would start to smoke, then smoker would fill up with smoke, THEN...

THANKS for all the Help. Am looking forward to using smoker this weekend. Againg, thanks for all the tips. Note: This smoker has built in temp probe for the meat. I left my remote temp sensors back in IN as did not think I would be doing any smoking on this RV trip. We are in Summerdale AL.

Tks Ron Wife just found receipt- it has the 445651 number on it.

They are in the SEASONAL section. Usually infront of the frozen food section. They are with gas grills,patio furniture etc. I just looked on Sam website, they are not listed. When MaMa gets back, I'll ask her for receipt for the SKU #. You might be able to have it shipped to local Sams. Jerry
