Bear I had 2 ET-733 probes going with the air temp probe a few inches away from the meat and towards the back wall. It was right next to the built in probe so I can get a good comparison. Was on 2nd shelf. So my average air temp was right in the 220-225F range from what I got from the ET-733. I...
So I'm smoking my first brisket using my MES30. Started with a small 4 LBer I'm now at 14 hours and just got to 190F so I imagine another hour to get to 195F IT to pull. It's about a 2.5" thick flat. Reading through older posts, this seems like a realllllly long time. I had a 3lb butt take 10...
I would have tried as a light glaze instead of mustard pre rub. With my MES my butt took about 6-7 hours to get through the stall when I started at 225F. I read many speed that up and go right for 250F preset temp which I will do next time.
Rings, I picked mine up at Aldi if you have one of those around. It was $1.69/lb on sale but even regular price they are like $1.99/lb there. I've read a few people going with Costco with good results.
Thanks for the point and the clarification Al! I would have been going crazy with question "Why doesn't mine look like that?" But so far all the flavor has been there!
So I went with a 4lb butt for my third smoking session. Only feeding 3 of us for the week so didn't need anything bigger really. I did a little research and planned as follows: cider vinegar/juice brine, rub (pieced together a recipe) at set overnight, start at 225F and planned pull at 195F IT...
I'm on the other side in Boca Raton. Only 3 hours to Bradenton and 2.5 to Sebring. That sounds like it could be interesting. Can you send me more details?
Hey all! I'm down in south Florida. I used my last fishing trip (caught some King Mackerel) as an excuse to go buy a smoker. Lowe's had the MES30 on clearance so picked that up for $200. I also added the "Cold" Smoking Unit attachment. So far I have smoked some fish and a rack of ribs. Trying my...
Mesquite can be a little overpowering for fish from what I have read. I haven't tried Alder yet. I went with mostly Apple with little of Hickory mixed in when I smoked my King Mackerel and it was awesome.
Now on to the dip....this is heaven!!! I made a triple batch. I used a little more fish than called for since I like that way.
6-8oz smoked fish
1/2 c. cream cheese (4oz)
1/4 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. finely chopped or minced celery
1 jalapeno finely diced
2 bunches green onions (or 2 tbsp...
