    New Cabelas Magnum Pellet Grill....and Not Real Happy

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback. I will try some lumberjack 100% hickory and add my AMNPS in there on the bottom.  After doing another smoke in my MES to make sure i was being completely fair, I think apples to apples on lbs. of meat, I was off on my times. I was closer to 12 hours...

    New Cabelas Magnum Pellet Grill....and Not Real Happy

    Oh and i forgot to mention, i always set my MES at 240, so you are correct in that I usually am higher with the MES than what i ran my original smoke on the pellet grill, but not so on the second one..  SM

    New Cabelas Magnum Pellet Grill....and Not Real Happy

    New Cabelas Magnum Pellet Grill....and Not Real Happy

    Well, I was super excited when my new Cabelas Magnum Pellet Grill arrived last week. It is made by Camp Chef, and has some really nice features! It went together in about an hour and a half. Easy peasy, and everything was packaged nicely inside. The thing is GIANT which is precisely why I...

    Eating smoking food increases triglycerides

    Well, let me say as someone who has had triglyceride levels so high they cannot read them on the test ("lipemia" - when you got vienna sausages flowing through your veins!), and who has also had "normal levels, there's a lot to learn about them. Let me say first I am surely not a doctor, but I...

    Looking for Suggestions on a new Electric Smoker....other than a Masterbuilt 40" Bluetooth

    Smokes,  It is a valid point that cold meat would drag down the temps for a while. However, not 5-6 hours. I have never had my 30" do that to me.   Chuck T - how many butts can you get onto your Lil Tex at one time? Thanks! SM

    Agree with Al. Something is not right with the burner. SM

    Looking for Suggestions on a new Electric Smoker....other than a Masterbuilt 40" Bluetooth

    Yes, I turn it on, go back inside, get meat out of fridge, put it on the racks, then go back and load the racks with meat into the smoker. Usually takes me about 10-15 minutes. My MES 30" will heat up in almost no time flat. the 40" literally takes a half day to come up to 240 degrees. Probably...

    Looking for Suggestions on a new Electric Smoker....other than a Masterbuilt 40" Bluetooth

    Hey Guys, I am looking for some feedback on those of you who have an electric smoker or pellet grill. Specifically I would love feedback from those who have had theirs a while, and have been smoking for a while. (no offense to newbies - just looking for something tried and true, and 2 weeks of...

    Holding Temps for Pulled Pork

    Thanks so much ChefJimmyJ!! Yes, you got it on the first one: we are serving up meals in clam-shell containers in a "drive through" style pick up line. I think we will pull a few butts at a time, and keep them in pans in the smoker, and make the clam shells as needed. We will keep the other...

    MES 40 Gen 2.5 Bluetooth Fix??

    Bauchjw - I got an iGrill too, but the bluetooth app works much like the remote on the older MES30. It lets you turn it off and on and adjust temps, etc. in theory from the comfort of your chair as long as its close enough......in theory. I was surprised however that the MES 40 thermometer was...

    Holding Temps for Pulled Pork

    Hey...since i got you here....how much is an appropriate amount to charge for a BBQ plate for a fundraiser? It will have 5oz. of pulled pork, slaw, chips, and bread. Bear in mind this is for a fundraiser.  My wife and a couple others say $10 but I was thinking slightly higher...maybe $11...

    Holding Temps for Pulled Pork

    Hi Guys. I am a Scoutmaster for our local Boy Scout troop and we are going to do a BBQ fundraiser at the end of May (It was a great excuse for a new smoker!).  Since our event will be a take out type deal, my plan is to have people who have bought tickets pick up their BBQ between 4:30 and 7...
