So how'd this work with the chips? Just got the MES 30 this weekend and would like to be able to smoke at low temps. Been smoking on a charcoal smoker for the
Past year or so and got the MES as a second smoker.. I also get a lot of white smoke instead of TBS. Was curious if this resolves that...
So I made the brine with vegetable broth as I could not find stock at the store... Do you think that this will add even more of a saltiness to my bird? I am doing a 22 pound bird (cooking in the oven).... I was reading that the broth has more salt than stock. This is my
first attempt to brine...
I also want to brine my turkey and it is 8% injected.... Everywhere I look online, it says that the turkey will be overly salty if I brine with a salt brine. I think even here there are a few that say the same. Will my turkey really come out salty if I brine?
Have you ever left the used oil in for a year? We cooked a turkey last year in the fryer at my parents house and the fryer was left in the corner of the garage for a year. I'm not planning on using the oil, but does anyone think that there will be any issues getting it clean? The elements and...
Hello all, I have a question regarding this smoker. My local walmart just put the Char-Broil American Deluxe smoker on clearance for 118. So this is my dilemma... I really need a new smoker and am getting tired of babysitting my Brinkmann Vertical. I have done all the mods and it seems like I...
One other thing... Any ideas on how I could do the channel with the angle iron if I don't have access to welding equipment? This thread has really motivated me to get a new smoker.
That's awesome that the temps were so stable... I did a pork butt this weekend and had to constantly babysit it for 7 hours... I am getting sick of babysitting my smoker, I think I'm gonna get one of these and mod it in a similar fashion. Did you have to keep adding fuel?
So was it 189 for the whole thing with the mods??? I know I asked about the smoker, but you mentioned the whole outfit and now I am curious. If it was 189 for everything, this is very tempting...
Dang, this looks awesome. I have been looking at getting a new smoker... Unfortunately I can't spend a bunch and go out and get a Weber. Do you mind if I ask how much the grill and side box was at Lowe's? You had mentioned that they were on sale. I am really looking forward to see what kind of...
So I did add liquid when I wrapped them. I was using apple juice. I was spraying them about every 45 minutes. Taking into consideration what Bacardi said, that may have been the reason why they weren't all that tender. I will make sure to keep the door shut.
So this is the first smoke that I have ever done. I decided that I would make Ribs for the first time. I attempted the 3-2-1 method. Although I think I maybe should have reduced the time on the 3... And I kind of lost track of time on the 2 and i think they were only there for 1.5. They came...
