    Stubborn butts

    IIRC, the Butts at Sams are labeled, "minimally processed" If they are injected with a liquid, it is usually clearly labeled (in small print)

    Smoker Cleaning Question

    I have a MES 40.  When I am through smoking, I soak an old bath towel(s) in water, fold it to the size of the rack, and and put it on top of the rack(s) I fire it back up to 275 and let it start steaming for an hour to loosen all the crud

    smoking 2 9.5 lb shoulders....

    I'd get a seconds tank for the following reason: Say you know it takes 5lbs of propane to smoke for 10 hours (this is a made-up figure) If you have a single tank with 3 pounds left, you will need to get it refilled before you even start. This will waste your time, and possibly money as most...

    No Foil Pork Butt - shortest smoking time for me!

    Can you explain: set temp 275, and cabinet temp of 250   Is your MES off by 25 degrees? I routinely put an oven thermometer in my MES, and the set temp & oven thermometer are pretty spot-on

    Pre-heating the Faux Cambro

    Just wanted to add that for the OCD people, I love using this product to pre-heat the dinner plates before I serve up food. There is nothing worse than taking piping hot fried-eggs, or scrambled eggs, etc. And then putting them onto a plate that is at room temperature.  The plate zaps all the...

    Pre-heating the Faux Cambro

    I'm not a geologist, so I am not sure. I looked at the wikipedia entry for granite, and it contains elements of aluminum & iron. This is probably what reacts with the microwave to heat the granite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite

    Pre-heating the Faux Cambro

    I saw that review, and took it with a grain-of-salt. I have used my about 4 times per week for the last 10 years with the same microwave. YMMV

    Pre-heating the Faux Cambro

    I bought this item 10 years ago at a Close-out store. I use it every day for meals as a Trivet that also keeps hot food hot. It is essentially a small slab of granite that you can heat in your microwave It gets nice-and warm after 3 minutes in the microwave, and then it slowly releases its...

    Need advice on First "Multi-Butt" smoke

    It should go without saying, but I will say it.. Try and make sure there is a minimum of 2" of spacing on all sides of your butts. (Top, Bottom, Sides x4)

    Couldn't just cook ribs for the in-laws. Had to do a prime rib too!

    Looks yummy! I think, however, I just felt another artery close-off. Funny thing, when you eat Prime Rib in a darkened restaurant, you don't quite see all that fat

    Help me out with my rib fail

    If you allow your ribs to sit overnight with a salty rub, then the salt will draw the moisture out of the meat. I apply my rub, and then let them sit in the fridge for an hour.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
