    Beer can chicken - going skinless?

    Cover your ears... No one in my family likes chicken skin. I've previously grilled chicken, but they all remove the skin prior to eating. So, when smoking Beer Can chicken, I'm wondering if it would be better to just remove the skin prior to smoking.  (I suppose I can answer my own question...

    Using Electric Smoker to hold food

    Anyone care to offer an opinion about using an electric smoker to keep food warm until it is time to eat. Specifically, I had to run an emergency errand before my beer can chicken was done. I was tempted to call my family at the appropriate time and instruct them to turn the smoker down from...

    MES 40 - Question about racks

    2 quick questions... 1.  If I just need to use one rack, which of the 4 racks should I use?  Top, Middle-Top, Middle-Bottom, Bottom 2.  In order to help with cleanup, if I am not using the bottom rack, can I cover it with tin foil, and cook on one of the other racks?

    So I got my first set of Baby Back Ribs in the MES40 smoker. I've seen a recipie  for Smoked Corn on the Cob. I'm wondering, however, if I can smoke them both for the same meal. The Ribs take 5-6 hours, with 3 hours of smoke. The Corn takes 2 hours. Doing a little math, the smoke time would...
