    Trying a brisket

    Checked it at 8 hours in and has an IT of about 173. Although it's already completely black, it still looks really moist. I'm guessing this is because A. I put it in fat cap up and/or B. I don't use a waterpan but it's currently raining a bit and some moisture is affecting it. Not too worried...

    Trying a brisket

    After doing a lot of ribs, pork shoulder and chicken this summer I decided to try my hand at a brisket. I did one last year for a bbq but I got it from the grocery store and I'm pretty sure it was already pumped with brine etc for corned beef. I hit up a nice old school Italian butcher nearby...

    Random Q Thoughts

    Also, we live in NYC. In case anyone wonders how someone living in NYC, 15 minutes from Manhattan can manage to smoke meat every weekend..we got lucky to get a 1st floor apartment with access to our own private back area. This is my set up. Kinda small compared to most of y'alls backyards but...

    Random Q Thoughts

    Not sure if there is a place here for random thoughts and rants. Smoking a rack of ribs for dinner and some chix breasts for lunch for the week. It's a good feeling when everything with your smoke goes absolutely perfect (so far). Perfect smoke, perfect consistent temp. Perfect day to sit in the...

    Temperature management

    That smoker looks a lot like my MES electric, with the thermometer on the front door. Are you using anything else to gauge the temp? I was having trouble getting my temp up, even with it on high but for the hell of it bought an oven thermometer to put on the rack. I realized when the door...

    Thinking of moving to New Jersey from South Carolina

    I live in NYC so don't know a whole lot about NJ but there really are a great wide variety of cultures, landscapes and things to do up here. Close to the beach, skiing in Poconos, hiking, rivers, NYC, Atlantic City, more food than you thought possibly existed. Plus, this area is dense, which can...

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    So finally got all the pieces needed for the mod. Took a bit of hitting up a few different stores. Mod was easy and went together quick. Got it all set up, seasoned my AMNPS, dried my pellets in the oven for awhile and did a little cleaning on my MES. Already kinda late in the day so I just...

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    Thanks! I went with the 3" pipe. Trying to do this stuff in NYC can be frustrating. Our Home Depot doesn't have everything. They had the elbows but not the actual flex pipe so I have to track that down. Also, as expected, they don't sell regular mailboxes in the city. Need to track down one of...

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    Hi all. Just ordered my pellet smoker, excited to get it and try it out. I'm also about to do the mailbox mod on my MES 30 analog. Had a question about the size of the hole. Looks like most of you have done the 3" hole as that is the size of the hole in the MES with the side loader. I don't have...

    Sunday Smoke w/ Q-view

    Thanks all. My officemates and I have been eating the chicken all week. Wade, I'm horrible at following recipes so I usually just wing it. But I'm heavy with paprika and black pepper. I also throw in a bit of fancy smoked paprika, sea salt, onion and garlic powder, and this time, a tiny bit of...

    Sunday Smoke w/ Q-view

    Decided last minute to smoke some meat for Sunday. Didn't plan ahead so just did some spare ribs, 2 chickens (1 splatchcock, 1 beer-can) and a block of tofu for the lady. Ribs came out great, chicken was also good. The skin got nice and crispy as I put the chickens closer to the heat. I used my...
