    First brisket

    They just looked and smelled great. The au jus smells outstanding and I figured hey I should through tese in and maybe brown them up.

    Answered my own question. Took a bite of a carrot. Gross.

    First brisket

    I have my first attempt at a brisket today. I went with a McCormick rub and threw a pan under it with some broth, carrots, celery, and onions. I have a 9.5 lb in the smoker since 6am. I'm at my plateau so I pulled the pan to see if it'll bump a little. My question is, for the folks who do the...

    I need a new rub for baby backs

    My son's birthday party is this Saturday and his request was pizza and dad's ribs. I am having about 25 people over and I think 15 will eat the ribs. I was using a rub that was ok but it didn't really bring anything to the table in terms of taste. I am looking for something that is probably a...

    First smoke

    I may try no foil when I am staying home. I think the drippings in the foil were great for sauce too.

    First smoke

    I'm going for my second tomorrow. Heading to my uncles in the afternoon. If I time it right the rest period will be the drive up. Do you guys time the first stage of ribs or do you go by something else? I think I did 2 or 3 last time I have to look. I think I did 3 then 2 wrapped and 1 rest.

    I'll have to try those. I just used the foil dripping separated from the fat. Pretty good.

    Mine was a boneless butt. I am thinking I will get a bone in next time.

    First smoke

    It was about 180. Should I have waited for 190?

    First smoke

    I'm really debating on getting the smoke tube. Does anyone have any experience with them in their MES? Can you use just pellets without the tube and use the stock tray?

    First smoke

    I didn't get any pics of the aftermath. The pork didn't pull apart great but it was still moist. Maybe not long enough in the foil. The meat on the ribs came right off and the bones pulled right out. I'm very happy with the ribs. I may do a few racks for a Father's Day cookout at my uncle's...

    First smoke

    I knew I'd catch some. I hit post and said dammit no pics. My rub for both was a just one part store bought with 2 parts brown sugar. Rubbed and wrapped overnight. I used hickory chips, but I was told by a friend fruit wood for pork. Oh well. I used an apple juice and spiced rum spray on both...
