    How long are cryovac meats good for at 0F

    My daughter's bday party is next weekend, gonna smoke a butt and some ribs for the party. I've got a deep freeze with a digital controller keeping it at 0F. Had a new cryovac #11 butt in there since last October, is it for sure still top quality or should I get a new one? I buy the Swift brand...

    Letting butt warm in cooler over night for a quick cook?

    Thanks for the advice guys. Think I'm just gonna start it at midnight and go low and slow. I've got a Fireboard 2 so can set alerts on my phone. Can FTC till it's time to eat.

    Letting butt warm in cooler over night for a quick cook?

    Ok I'll just pull it out of the fridge when I wake up. I'll let a steak warm some as you mentioned but guess I won't risk it with larger cuts at a longer time. Just didn't know if it was commonly done to save cooking time.

    Letting butt warm in cooler over night for a quick cook?

    Got a 10 pound butt I'm cooking for Easter dinner about 2-3pm. I plan on going with turbo butt temps 325-350 and will wrap with foil at 160. Planning on flaming up at 5:30-6. Was thinking of placing it in a cooler at midnight before I go to bed to let the temps rise a bit to save time. Is this a...

    Help me get started with MES 30" Analog smoker.

    If I can still change to another smoker is there anything new under $200 better than this MES? I was looking really hard at the Char Broil analog model.

    Help me get started with MES 30" Analog smoker.

    Thanks for all the tips. There are so many different models of smokers it's been tough knowing if the tips I'm reading about are for the model I've got. I see what you mean with the element on mine being full width causing issues with the pellet smoker maze. I think I'll add a mailbox mod to my...

    Help me get started with MES 30" Analog smoker.

    I watched a video on the mailbox mod. So if you're smoking meat is the main advantage of the mailbox mod just increased airflow to the pellets?

    Help me get started with MES 30" Analog smoker.

    Yes it's got the stat built on the end of the cord. I thought I had to rewire but now I'm wondering. Do I just plug into the Auber controller and keep the factory stat maxed out so the Auber takes over.

    Help me get started with MES 30" Analog smoker.

    Been thinking of getting a smoker for years and finally put an MES MB20070210 30" analog smoker on my christmas list. I'm hoping you guys can get me set up in the right direction, been doing some reading so already learning some. I'm going to go with an Auber WSD-1510GPH PID controller to...

    Feedback on Auber Wifi Controller.

    I'm gonna get an MCS Analog 1500w smoker for Christmas and think I'm gonna invest in a PID controller. The Auber Wifi is still pretty new and the very small number of reviews I read are mixed. If it works as advertised it would be awesome to check temps from inside the house and make changes. If...

    Why don't more pellet grills come with a searing station like Camp Chef Woodwinds?

    Plus if you're cooking your steak low then want to reverse sear you have to pull the steak and wait for your grill to reach full temp which doesn't that take up to 10-15 minutes? I thought of just starting small with a Recteq Bullseye which has the riot mode that gets up to 650-700 but got to...

    Why don't more pellet grills come with a searing station like Camp Chef Woodwinds?

    I've been researching pellet grills and initially settled on trying a Recteq but just found the Camp Chef Woodwinds. The sear box and sidekick attachments seem to add a lot of functionality to the grill but am kind of baffled as to why more manufacturers don't have similar propane attachments...
