Thanks for the input. I keep hearing more about these and getting the recommendations for it so I think I’m going to take a serious look. Academy has them on the showroom floor so I might head over there and check them out.
Thank you for the reply. That is somewhat my concern is that I have something that works for the few things that I smoke now. It would be nice to have higher temps and do chicken, pizzas, and other but that’s a lot of investment for a maybe 🤷♂️
I may finally be ready to pull the trigger on the 1250 that I’ve been scoping for 8 months 😬
I have a Weber Spirit for steaks, chicken, brats plus 40” MES with pellet tray I’ve used for a few years to do pork ribs and butts but not much else. The MES has served me well for learning basics and...
Well 2nd go around was a HUGE difference. I trimmed almost all of the fat cap and chunks off last night, rubbed with Killer Hogs BBQ rub, then wrapped. Put in the MES this morning and at 275* with Pittmasters Choice pellets for about 5.5 hours until it stalled at 170*. I took it out and foil...
I compared a few different rubs in baby backs recently (Jeff’s Rub, Famous Dave’s, 12 Bones, Killer Hogs, McCormick Sweet and Smoky) and so far the top 2 favorites are Killer Hogs and Famous Dave’s - both have a little different flavor profile. The Sweet & Smoky from McCormick Grill Mates wasn’t...
Oh we definitely ate it up with some SBR and also made some killer Cuban sandwiches but I still kept thinking there was room to improve. I used between 1/2 and 1 cup but not a whole 1.5, that would be ALOT of liquid including the rendered fat. I do think that had something to do with it though...
A buddy of mine actually takes his out and puts it in a casserole pan on the counter (still foiled) for 30 mins then he pulls it, no cooler needed. I think this is a good idea considering I should be serving it up right around the time it is done and I don’t need to keep it warm for an extended time
Picked up a 7.5 lb bone-in pork butt for this weekend. I smoked my first one a couple months back and honestly was a bit unhappy with the results. My method prior was: Rubbed with Jeff’s rub and refrigerated overnight, smoked in MES at 275* until the internal temp hit 160*. Put in foil pan with...
Checking for bend typically. Try to pick them up with a tongs and you can tell when they start to bend quite a bit. That or sometimes trying to twist a bone will get you a feel for how cooked they are.
That sounds interesting. I know many rubs include paprika for good color as well. I was considering just doubling one of ingredients Jeff’s rub has but I may also have to try this.
I saw this one online. Sounded like it could be good....
1 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup Tony Chachere’s Cajun Seasoning
2 tablespoons sea salt
2 tablespoons fresh cracked pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
After my first post a few months back I have cooked up a few racks of BBs in my MES with pretty good success (and a Pork, but have been on the search for a solid "go-to" rub. This time around I decided to try a few different rubs to compare side by side. Ventured off to Sam's Club and purchased...
