Can't wait to hear about it. I was REAL close to cubing my a chuck roast on Wednesday before smoking it instead of after. Saw it done in this thread as well (granted I don't know what cut of meat he is using):

So I smoked a 2 pounder so my wife could make some yummy pot pies. So far on any pork or beef I've ever made, I've never once found myself thinking I've had too much smoke, let alone enough. I decided I wanted to up the ante and put some extra smoke on this roast.
I loaded my AMNPS with...
Bear, do you also leave the chip loader on your MES completely out? I've been trying that, as well as keeping the chip tray pulled out to try to create a little intake path as well. Not sure if others have done the same.
Lol John! That is a cardinal sin!
My son actually fried some more bacon up last night for a sandwich. I tasted it this morning, then ate a bit of my smoked bacon with some eggs. I will be very disappointed if I ever have to simply fry bacon again. There's no comparison... I'm still anxious...
Hey Dave,
I'm not a big fan of eating most meat right out of the smoker, but the bacon seemed fine. I ate it right away and it was really good.
I'm not sure I would have taken the bacon after 2 hours in the smoker at 275 and tried to put that in a skillet. Maybe if you cook it for just an...
The results are in, and they are a bit shocking!
Five different people took the test and compared the different batches without knowing how each one was cooked.
The big losers were the plain bacon and the bacon that was only cooked in the smoker. One person had the the bacon cooked in the...
Well 2 results are in... waiting on more family members. I put sticky notes on the bottom of the plates, covered them in foil, then had them all mixed up so I don't even know which is which. I can definitely tell which ones had smoke and which didn't, so my results may be a bit skewed.
Couple...
So here is the bacon after the end of 2 hours:
It made a nice color difference on the bacon vs the bacon right out of the package:
(this picture is not rotated on my computer but it keeps showing up rotated when I upload it... odd)
I constructed some makeshift foil racks to let smoke hit...
1/2 the bacon is on the smoker!
This will stay in for 1 hour with no heat, then for 1 hour at 100F. After that, 1 rack will come off and about 4 more slices that haven't been cold smoked will be put in and the the temp on the MES maxed out at 275. I'll probably put the bacon on top of some...
I sincerely apologize for hijacking this thread. I've started a new one over in the bacon section where I've started my little experiment:

So I know most here are talking about curing and smoking some part of a pig so that it can be sliced and fried. I am dying to do this, but lack one key piece of equipment: a slicer. Long story short, my daughter works at a bar that servers several sandwiches/wraps that come with bacon. The...
