    Confirmation that this is the gen 2.5 MES

    I have read that the 6 racks compared to the 4 is more of a special design for a specific store. Several have said they would never need them all. I (although being very new) might think it would be good for maybe sausage or jerky because of the extra shelf space. Keep in mind that the...

    Confirmation that this is the gen 2.5 MES

    Brad, I read madmax's post and looked at the inside arrangement of the Academy Sports smokes and the water/drip tray is the newest style but still the controls on the top are Gen 1 so I would think this was a Hybrid. Doesn't make it bad, just different. Bounce this off Bear (bearcarver). He...

    Confirmation that this is the gen 2.5 MES

    Hey Brad, I went through the same struggle to figure out what generation smoker I was looking at in the many ads that advertise them. I used the posts from bearcarver to help teach me the differences. I was looking for a MES 30" instead of the 40" but they seem to follow the exact same lines...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Well, I am being delayed a little because my Thermoworks Smoke has not arrived yet. Not their fault, I ordered it Friday but didn't think about it being to late to get out that day and they are closed on Saturday. That's ok. But since this Masterbuilt with the one big eye has been here in...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Good point Al. I have come to that conclusion and have noticed many include the statement to their posts that Internal temperature trumps cooking time because it determines when the meat is done. The speed and what has been done to the meat as it is getting to that IT will determine the...

    Electric Smoker Supplers/Shops in Washington DC

    I tend to agree with Smokinq13. Finding best price the simplest way would be to search the big box stores. Having it delivered directly to his place of lodging would also be good, then just take it back with him. He can do a Google search to find the stores that carry what he wants, then...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Thanks Al for your informative posts. I have read several of them around the forum and appreciate the time you spend trying to assist others. I pretty much have my plan down as far as the 2-2-1 method. The only think I have not settled on yet is whether to add a spritz of apple juice inside...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Thanks Sonny, I tend to plug in the full picture and wish most others would. Now don't get me started on the way companies like AT&T drag their feet on getting the system into the 21st century. I live 5 miles outside a small town and 13 miles from the county seat. I have been prodding and...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Thanks Pops. The picture is worth a thousand words. I had a pretty good understanding from just hearing the upper section compared to more under belly section but this helps. Thanks

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    It is in Chapter 5 and there is a list of 39 items with Smoke temps, smoke times and IT when ready. Just got the 5th lesson today. I don't know it they have been edited or not but I only know what I just read and it got my curiosity up. I am aware of the tender stage and fall off the bone...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Thanks. I wasn't to worried but being at the very beginning of the learning stage I just have a lot of questions. I had figured on a 185 or 190 IT temp anyway. While following the 2-2-1 method. But still awaiting the correct internal temperature. Should be a good day.

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Thanks Sparky. The only thing that made me wonder is I just took the 5 Day Course. Todays lesson has a list of meats with their smoking temperature and IT meat temperature when done.. It lists: "back ribs"- - - - - smoke at 225 - 240 degrees for 4-5 hrs - Done when IT = 185-190 degrees...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I did notice the thicker meat section at the slim end. And I plan to add some pictures. I have taken several of the rack it rinsed and dried, with the skin membrane removed and laying beside it, with the yellow mustard applied and then with the rib added. I notice...

    Exactly what are Pork Back Ribs?

    Well, I headed to the store today because the single digit temperatures are ending in Indiana and it was in the mid 30's today. Got a brand new MES 30" setting here staring at me with that one big eye and I want to attempt my first smoke. At the Grocery store (Kroger) they had four racks of...

    Like Chris said, extra points for tackling a brisket right at the get-go. I am not sure I have the ----- well let's say guts to try a brisket yet and will probably start with spare ribs. I am waiting on the freezing temps to go away before I can try that here though. Been below freezing with...
