    Boston Butt for New Year's Day

    Masterbuilt 40" sportsmans elite electric smoker control panel question

    One thing to check (if you already have please forgive me) is that the connections are good. I had bought a Sportsman's Warehouse MES 40 last year before christmas (okay, the wife bought it for me as my christmas gift). It worked great exactly 2 times. Then the third time I went out to smoke...

    Wanting a Griddle Camp Chef vs Blackstone

    While I don't have the big one, I do have the Blackstone Adventure Ready 22" Griddle with Hood, Legs, and Bulk Adapter Hose (yeah I copy/pasted the name) that I got from Wally World a couple of years ago. I took a day to season the griddle and have had absolutely NO problems with it. I can cook...

    Question about doing a stuffed tenderloin...

    Thanks guys...yeah, I knew they were pork loins, but my fingers typed Tenderloins...I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to have a nicely cooked loin on one rack, and a nice Pork Tartar on the other. Still learning the smoking trade...So I guess while 6 or 7 inches of separation isn't...

    First time with the new smoker...

    Well, as last weekend was a rain-out, I broke the smoker in on Sunday. It is the MES 140s that was on sale at Sportsman's Warehouse on Black Friday Weekend. I ordered an AMNPS and as work has been busy, didn't have time to make the Mailbox Mod. I placed the AMNPS under the water pan, to the...

    Laughing my stupidity...

    New to the smoking world...I got my AMNPS in the mail Saturday, and of course it rained Sunday so I couldn't break in the new MES140S...So I have one project: To build a small 3 sided shed to house the smoker in while it is working...Nothing fancy just something to protect the electronics and...

    New Smoker from Arizona

    As I retired from the Air Force...the jet noise doesn't even register anymore unless I am out at the base. Mind you, being around those General Dynamic Ramp Vacuums for 20 years didn't help with the hearing, but hey, the VA gave me 10% disability for it.
