Ribs bitter - too much smoke?
I have a MES 30 and have found that 1/4 cup of chips makes a nice amount of smoke. My first time out I just went from the manual which said 'not more than 1/2 cup'. So I used 1/2 cup. Way more than you need. I got a long handled 1/4 measure from the dollar store and its perfect. I like... -
Cross Rib (Chuck) Sammies w/ Smokey Au Jus
Thanks for this post. I have been wanting to do a chuck roast, but all I can find these days is cross rib. In searching for the dif between them, it mostly said the cross rib wasn't as flavorful. But it sounds like yours was. Maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks -
First weekend with my MES 30
So it looks like you did the ribs and the butt at the same time. Then after that you did the salmon and the wings? Or were they separate from each other? I'm curious as there are a lot of folks who insist that there is a fishy taste from doing fish at the same time as other things. Some...- cael

how long to have the smoke rolling???
I like to smoke for about half the time. But on a 20 hour Butt I did a few weeks back, I only gave it 6 hours of smoke. Everyone said they could taste it and liked the smoke level. But I think it would have been fine even if I had gone to 10 hours. But it didn't need it. -
Which chips to use?
The only thing I've heard as a difference with the really fine chips is that they burn up much faster. So you might have to plan to add more often. But they should be fine. If they go too fast for you, maybe go half and half with some of your other wood. Then you get the best of both...- cael

New to site & smoking. Doing a Brisket today...
Haven't been around much lately. How did it go? I'll be interested as I'm getting a 6 pound one delivered mid Aug from a local rancher, and I might have to cut it in half as my MES 30 racks are rather narrow.- cael

New electric smoker, couple questions
Sorry, I was a little confused in the question. Are you cold or hot smoking these ribs? If hot smoking, don't worry about the internal temp of the ribs. I wouldn't even use a probe. Just set them to the temp you want to cook at. I like about 130-140 myself. And then let them cook...- cael

Stupid Question
My indoor fireplace inspector gave me only 1 instruction. Never use those logs. They do more harm than good. And they are super full of chemicals, which is how they 'work'. I would never ever use that in a smoker.- cael

How much does the bone in a pork shoulder weigh?
Thanks Gary! Maybe just my Northwest location. Meat guy told me they never carry Butts. Good to know I can find them sometimes. I went to TGP (the Grocery People) on Yellowhead and got them for $2.99/lb. They sell them in a cryovac of 2 big ones just on the shelf. But they will do... -
How much does the bone in a pork shoulder weigh?
I don't think you were remembering wrong at all. Your original post talked about the meat yeild and seemed pretty bang on to what I got out of mine. I was just saying that the bones in my roasts barely weighed anything. The big one came apart in two and I tossed it lightly in the... -
Smoking Chuck Roast this Week
I agree, that looks lovely and exactly what I want to do. I've been holding off asking these exact questions as I have been waiting for a better price on Chuck. Right now $7.99/lb. Boooo....Alberta drought. Our poor cattle farmers are really taking it the last few years. I...- cael

First pork loin smoke
Oh, just an FYI on cutting the loin to be stuffed. You butterflied yours...making it exactly as you described, like a sub sandwich. Which is still very nice. If you want the full roll, then start cutting and go in a spiral. Its a practice makes perfect kind of process. Just pick a... -
How much does the bone in a pork shoulder weigh?
I recently got a 7 pound and a 10 pound and I would say the bones in each weighed more like 4-6 ounces. Not much of a bone at all. But I got mine from a different warehouse, Canada Costco's don't carry Butts. At least not in my neck of the woods. -

Clean up
I was fighting with cleaning my grill racks and then happened to grab a Norwex product that is kind of like steel wool, but not quite. I used it on the rack and everything came off with zero elbow grease, so smooth. Took them back to shiny silver in under 2 minutes. So if you have a local...- cael

Hi there
For the chicken, everything I've read on the forums here and elsewhere, says to cook high temp. Which for my Masterbuilt is 275. Other folks can get higher like 350+ That will help crisp the skin if it can. You might still want to finish under the broiler or remove the skin. Chicken... -
Hi there
I'm not a huge fan of smoked chicken so I am not much help there. Lots of threads here on TriTips, but its not a Roast I see much in my local stores. I recently did some Sirloin Tips and got a bit of an education there. (Cook them to a higher temp unless you want to shave for... -
New from Alberta
Hi there! Welcome from a fellow Albertan who just got her own smoker about a month ago. Well, I've done 3 things that were really good and got great reviews, and were simple. Ribs which took 8 hours but the most minimal effort out of anything I've done. Pulled Pork which took 16+ hours... -
Ribs and Rib Tips
So you smoke yours as a slab. I've been putting off getting the Costco side ribs since they have the rib tips still on, and I'm not very clear on what to do with them. So if I'm understanding correctly, you just trim yours off in a single piece. Question: When researching this is just... -
