    2012 MES 40 Now at Sam's

    I might just buy this thing to, that's cheap for the new version and I'm a member. But can a person leave this on there deck in the winter time or should I wait till spring since 2 cars take up our garage in the winter. Would probably have to buy some tarp or some grill cover because I have...

    My First Jerky - SUCCESS!

    I love me some Jerky but for a guy with no lower teeth anymore jerky has to be chewable and it looks like the cut was a little thicker so was it pretty tender? I know thin strips are usually hard as heck, nuggets I believe are kind of tender as well. I usually buy beef sticks because that is all...

    Hello from Minneapolis

    Welcome Jason, I don't have that smoker yet but so many good reviews I think I might have to pick a 30 inch up around Christmas time. After tasting my bone in pork butt I did on the grill (long story but it worked) I need to have more and try new things.   And welcome neighbor as well, I'm just...

    AMNPS on fire in my MES30

    I'm thinking about getting a smoker by Christmas time and also have been thinking of the MES 30 since I really don't smoke a ton of food and you can still get (2) turkey's in there I see by some pictures and videos I seen so that's enough room for me. I thought about getting the older model...

    Need Advice on Grill temp for Pulled Pork

    Well I woke up from a 2-1/2 hour nap and checked the IT of the butt and it was 205 (ALREADY!!) so I took it out and wrapped it once more in foil since there were a couple holes on top and put it in a cooler with a couple towels over it. There is no way this should be done already but I have a...

    Need Advice on Grill temp for Pulled Pork

    Thanks, It pretty much hit 166 at 4 hours (holy ****) but that was in part to being over 300 degrees for so long and I could not lower it no matter. I shot some apple juice/water mix on it once more before I double wrapped it and put it in the oven at 225 degrees. I thought about keeping it on...

    Need Advice on Grill temp for Pulled Pork

    Here is one picture about a hour and a half in because I wanted to check the temp gauge inside the grill. Yeah it's been about 325 for quite some time and I just have to come to the realization that it's going to cook quicker and hope that it pulls apart after I take it out at 205 and put it in...
