    BB Ribs Temp

    I have 3 racks of ribs on (BB) and was/am going about doing the 2-2-1 method but it occured to me that the ribs are coming right out of the fridge. Does 2-2-1 assume cold ribs or room temp ribs to start? (I'll most likely check at the 2 hour mark for bone showing but was just wondering what...

    Smoking Boston Butt Need Help. Bad 1st attempt.

    Hi Kevinstan... you might want to read my post: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/107514/butt-from-hell Some pretty good feedback there... Like the others stated it sounds like the smoker wasn't up to temp, my Masterbuilt reads a good 25 degrees lower than it should be, a couple of things to...

    First fatties and a chicken

    Tried making a sausage and a beef fattie. I thought the beef came out better than the sausage (both tasted good), the sausage one just tasted too greasy with the bacon (mouth feel wasn't the best). I used apple chips and the bacon is was a thick sliced local (bulk) that has a great taste to...

    What to do with Jimmy Dean pork sausage

    I see al lot of people smoking Jimmy Dean rolls of sausage rolls, I guess your all just sticking them on the smoker (I have a MES 40) and letting them go till 165 inside temp. What do you do with these afterwards? slice and fry for breakfast or slice and eat like summer sausage? Tut

    Butt from Hell

    Eman the day before (the day I purchased and brought the smoker home), I did some temp checks first checking my old digital probe in boiling water, then setting it in the middle of the smoker and placing the smokers probe next to it. The smoker seemed to hold constant temps at 200, 220, and 250...

    Butt from Hell

    Talan... I gather you don't spray your smoking meat while it's cooking then? I'm wondering if opening the door with only one residual heat source besides the internal heater may of caused me too much heat loss over the cooking period. I may start my next one as you did, I currently work till...

    Butt from Hell

    A follow up.... I finally hit the 205 around 330am (I used 3 different thermos and they were all reading the same so I don't think that was the problem) and removed it then wrapped it in a couple towels. Put it in the cooler I had and told the wife I'll pull it when I got up in about 5 hours...

    MES40 Vent Question

    Thanks for the quick replies... I'll most likely get the AMNS in a few weeks, vent is fully open and I'm going to guess if I keep poking the butt with a sharp pointy stick it isn't going to make it move any faster... maybe the wife needs to take note of that...lol I am using soaked wood chips...

    MES40 Vent Question

    I'm getting ready to start my first smoke in my MES 40 and wanted a bit of advise on where the vent opening should be ...? I was going to start with it half open (or half closed ... if your a water half empty type person)... then after hitting temp on the meat and wraping it, close off the vent...
