    Starting big after a long hiatus. Need some help.

    smoking 225 temp - pull at 203 - bone side down - no foil. The pressure is on, I might have done a couple of runs before cooking for a group of people, but I guess that is the excitement. Is this the only meat being served? Edit here: Any thoughts that 2 hours in foil could make meat mushy...

    Another turkey question

    Ribs - you need to do the 3-2-1 (6 hour cook) at 225 degrees. Chicken and Turkey I have been doing at 365 degrees. Poultry does not need a lot of smoke, poultry is like a sponge with smoke.

    1st Whole Turkey in my MES 30 with AMNPS & ET732 - Trial Run for Thanksgiving - QVIEW

    Great Job, bird looks great. It is nice to face the challenges early before the big day and not get caught off guard and have to scramble.  Trial Runs - that is what smoking and grilling are all about: My family and friends love when I experiment on them.

    First Fattie

    2- boneless chicken breast sliced in half and pounded, provolone cheese, and ham sliced off the bone.  Pulled at Internal Temp of 170. I had the UDS dialed in at 250. I used no brine, rubs or sauces, and a bacon kind of on the thick side. The meat was juicy and tasty. I may do a Turkey...

    Chicken Legs and Turkey Thighs

    About 6 legs never made it inside, and the Turkey Thighs were great. I added a bag of Zats crab boil to brine, and with the cayenne pepper in the rub. Nice heat but not over powering that the kids cannot eat them. Served the Thighs and Legs with Red Potatoes and Corm boiled in Zats Crab Boil.
