    I can never recommend someone purchase the PitmasterIQ blower devices to anyone.

    Yeah, it's a disappointing experience. Standing behind your product means everything to me, and if you're unwilling to even entertain the idea that your product might be wrong, it's probably a company I don't want to deal with in the future.

    I can never recommend someone purchase the PitmasterIQ blower devices to anyone.

    I purchased a pitmasterIQ 110 unit a bit back due to a recommendation from a friend. Now that I'm seeing all of these reviews about how terrible their customer service, along with my own experience, I regret buying it. When I first got it <2 months ago, the temperature that the pitmasterIQ...

    Been a member for a few years, just upgraded smokers.

    Yeah, I have no doubt you can turn out good smoked foods in a MES, but I gave up after 4 years of attempts, haha. My very first attempt at using the WSM turned out the kind of ribs I have spent years chasing after, so it very well could be my tastes are just in strong preference for charcoal...

    Been a member for a few years, just upgraded smokers.

    Hey all, I remember finding this board a few years back when I picked up my MES from Costco. I was ecstatic, loved the idea of smoking and couldn't wait to begin jumping into every recipe I could find from you folks. Over the years, I lost a lot of my enthusiasm for smoking. No matter what I...

    I want the meat and smoke to be the star of my baby back ribs - is salt/pepper enough for seasoning?

    Sounds good, thanks fellas. I've been heavily layering rub on my ribs for years, hated it every single time, and yet continued to do it. Isn't that the definition of insanity? Hah!

    I want the meat and smoke to be the star of my baby back ribs - is salt/pepper enough for seasoning?

    I'm making some baby backs tomorrow. I've tried a lot of rubs, some found on here and some found on other sites. They always seem very strong and overpowering. One of my favorite local rib joints has some of the best ribs I've ever had, and all they taste like are slightly salty/smokey ribs with...

    Any tips on making a select brisket flat edible?

    Thanks all, I'll give that a try to just keep cooking it until it's done. I know each piece of meat is different, but it there a general temp frame I should be looking for? 190s? 200s?

    Any tips on making a select brisket flat edible?

    I purchased a brisket today to make pastrami out of, but only needed about half of it. I'd like to smoke the other half as just a normal brisket, but my experience with these low-end cuts of beef from my grocer who only sells the flat is that it always comes out incredibly dry. Right now I have...

    Anyone had to purchase a replacement door for an MES 30" Son killed mine...

    I have a practically brand new one sitting in my garage if you want it. Only replaced it because I got a new one for free since the one that it came with didn't 100% seal against the unit. Still 90% good, though

    Cleaning masterbuilt electric smoker

    Hey guys, I'm kind of at a loss on how to clean this thing. I just opened it up and there is mold all over the racks from sitting there for the past few months :S Cleaning the racks is easy enough, but how do I go about cleaning the inside of the box? I don't want to damage any electrical...

    Any Thai/Indian food fan out there who have some recipe ideas?

    Thanks for the recipes guys, I'll try a few of those out. And yeah, 10 oz is a lot. I immediately took like 7 oz and sealed it in a foodsaver and stashed it away, hopefully it'll retain some zip. I just went with that one because the ones at the grocery store are like 2 oz and almost the same...

    Any Thai/Indian food fan out there who have some recipe ideas?

    Yeah, the problem with Garam Masala is it's pretty much open to interpretation. I've had some really good mixes and some really overpowering in a certain spice mixes. I now just buy it on Amazon and you get a ton of it for the price, and it's quite excellent. This is what I use:

    Any Thai/Indian food fan out there who have some recipe ideas?

    Hey guys, I'm really looking to incorporate some of my more favorite flavors into my smoking. I'm a huge fan of red curry/coconut sauces, standard curry sauces, and foods that have traditional Indian spices like Garam Masala as I've always enjoyed those flavor profiles of cinnamon and whatnot...

    Agreed, best company I've ever dealt with. Had a shipping issue, he went way above and beyond to fix it. Even gave me his personal cell # in case I had any questions on the pellet smoker. Stand up guy for sure

    Smoked Duck?

    What part of the duck is it, and is the skin/fat still intact? If it's the breast with skin, based off of my experience with it (limited, admittedly), I would do it in this order: 1) Brine for a few hours. My favorite brine is a mixture of orange/pineapple juice and salt. Tastes really, really...

    Buying steaks online

    Thanks for the info guys. I just can't believe a good steak costs $60! That's the cost of a great steak at a top steakhouse, so I guess I just expected them to be cheaper. I just lost my job today, so I'll need to think long and hard if I should be spending $60/steak for xmas gifts. I figured...

    Buying steaks online

    Hey fellas, I'm looking for a site that sells high quality steaks. I'm trying to find my dad some nice steaks for the holidays, and I'm thinking something along the lines of those nice bone-in ribeyes that cook up nice and crusty on the outside and stay butter-tender on the inside. My local...

    Preserving brisket in the oven

    What if the meat is already done cooking? It's just about finished, I just want to preserve it in the oven. No cooler to stash it in, unfortunately :(

    Preserving brisket in the oven

    So, third attempt at a brisket. I actually got a whole one from Walmart this time and it's actually looking juicy and tasty! I'm pretty excited as the last two briskets I did looked like shoe leather around ~150* when I foiled them. My concern at the moment is that it's 1 pm and this thing is...

    Unbelievable shrimp/lobster roll

    The recipe says that amount for 3 lbs of shrimp, but I think it's best to just sprinkle it on to suit your taste
