    The Saturday brisket is on

    Woke early (5am) to prep the smoker and get this 7.4lb brisket on. It's the wife's birthday tomorrow and we are having people over to celebrate this afternoon and I'm hoping to serve the brisket for dinner... We will see what the meat has in mind as I have found cooking times are more dependent...

    Strangeness with my Maverick ET-732

    I've done a little further testing, including doing what you recommended Bill.  What I have discovered is that the range at which the "Food" plug displays temperatures is not the same as the "Barbecue" side. Here is what I did. 1. "Meat" probe plugged into "Barbecue" side "Barbecue" Probe into...

    Strangeness with my Maverick ET-732

    So I am having a strange issue with my Maverick today.  I started up my smoker pretty early this morning, so wasn't really paying attention to which probe I plugged into which side of the transmitter. After I put the meat on (and woke up a little bit) I realized I had them backwards, the meat...

    Yesterday's smoke (my first Butt) with QView

    Thanks for the compliments guys. Maple Sticks: I have a pair of big rubberized heat resistant gloves (they were recommended on the forums somewhere). Because they are rubberized I can wash them in the sink with dish soap and wear them to do things like pull apart meat.  They worked great and...

    Larger Temp difference between MES 30 thermo and digital probe

    Haha, I made mods before I even seasoned the thing. I knew I was going to be using the AMNPS (also got it for Christmas).  I had the door to mailbox open a lot of the time, but the AMNPS sits pretty far back in the box so that the smoke flows nicely up into the pipe leading to the actual...

    Yesterday's smoke (my first Butt) with QView

    I smoked my first butt yesterday and made pulled pork. Followed the directions in the basic pulled pork smoke thread and used a variation on the finishing sauce.  Everything went pretty well. I think the thing weighed around 6.5 lbs but I'm not really sure, it came as part of two pack, and total...

    My first smoke, the Boston Butt

    I would say it really depends on how much you plan on sleeping that night and how good a feel for your smoker you got during your test run. I'm also new to this smoking thing and just did my third smoke (first butt) yesterday.  For me there has been a learning curve for getting good consistent...
