Christmas Eve Ribeye Roast MES 30
Hey there...long time member who hasn't posted in over a decade...lol. I've still been cranking butts and ribs out of my trusty old MES and occasionally my WSM. The other day I got the urge to smoke some beef for Christmas eve and decided on this 5lb Prime grade ribeye roast I found at my local... -
Jalapeño Pineapple Pulled Pork
Greetings! It's been a while since I've been around here...but today I decided to try one of the recipes from the recent newsletter. I smoked two pork butts on the 18.5 WSM I picked up used for $40 a while back. I mixed some of the pulled pork with more rub, diced jalapeños, crushed pineapple... -
MES airflow mod cheese
The fan came out of a laptop cooling mat. I'm not sure of the specs...but any old computer fan should work. You could also go to Staples and pick a new one up. For the most part they all run off DC power. If you supply a lower DC voltage than the fan is rated for it will just spin slower which...- tlcase

MES airflow mod cheese
Yep the fan did the trick. I'll be using it from now on for my cold smokes with pellets. All done And sealed up. It will be nice to have cheese in the fridge for Christmas. Next batch will go in when there is another sale. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2- tlcase

MES airflow mod cheese
So everything was going great until I found out a 9 volt battery will only power the fan for 90 minutes. I ran inside and grabbed this old cell phone charger that outputs 5volt DC and cannibalized it. We are back in business! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2- tlcase

MES airflow mod cheese
I did have one relight about 20 minutes in but so far it's working well for the last hour. The MES can smoke cheese while I smoke this cigar! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2- tlcase

MES airflow mod cheese
This is my first batch of cheese this fall/winter. I had quite a stockpile in the fridge from spring but used the last of it about a month ago. I like my AMNPS but have never had good luck keeping it lit. It seems I have to take the torch to it 3 or 4 times just to get through a 3 hour cheese...- tlcase

My Mini WSM vid with Q View
Been awhile since I've posted here. Been busy with life and my two young sons. I've been smoking plenty of cheese, ribs, chickens, an so forth in the MES and occasionally the New Braunfels offset but I've been wanting an easy to use charcoal smoker for those times when I just want to do a couple...- tlcase

Just another smoked turkey.
The local market had an insane deal on whole pork loins but I was out of room in my deep freeze. Decided to make room by throwing this 12lb bird in the MES. Just your run of the mill Jeannie-O I injected with creole butter and coated with creole seasoning. Smoking with a mix of hickory, apple... -

I've been away for a bit....slammed at work....can someone point me in the direction of the Mailbox mod info? I'm intrigued by this as I use the AMNPS in my MES 30 to cold smoke cheese all the time.- tlcase

$1.99 Porl Loin Back Ribs
I'm going to head back after work and pick some more up. They were averaging under $6 per rack so I'm going to stock up myself. -
Thoughts on reheating smoked baby back ribs?
I vac seal half racks and throw them in the freezer. If I want ribs for dinner, I throw a few half racks in a small crock pot with a cup of apple juice around noon and set it to low. Seems to work great for me. -
$1.99 Porl Loin Back Ribs
I got 5 racks...didn't see anything about a limit at the Marshalltown Store. These are pretty decent BB's. They are previously frozen but I've smoked them several times before and they turn out great. I've got company coming over this Saturday so I'm smoking all five racks plus a pan of Dutch's... -
My no foil butt experiment.
Here's the smaller butt after an hour rest in the oven. I did end up turning my oven on to the keep warm setting. And here is the first one pulled. I noticed no difference in moisture. My rub usually loses some of its flavor when I foil...not so going this route. Still waiting on the bigger...
