Seeing all of the great threads on here about thighs and leg quarters made me decide to give some leg quarter smoking a try. However, we have been having a lot of pop-up heavy thunderstorms so I was afraid to put the MES 30 on the patio for a smoke. I decided to try some Weber Kettle smoking...
"As I found out, it was a Pork Shoulder, bone-in. Can someone explain if there's a difference between the two?"
Chef JimmyJ posted a great explanation and history above! I was also not aware of the differences in the pork shoulder names when I started smoking about a month ago and when I was...
I saw them making a pitch to raise money for production of Slawsa on "Shark Tank" a while ago - more info: http://www.slawsa.com/
I saw it in the local grocery store (Giant) a few weeks ago but didn't get any - I'll have to pick some up and give it a try!
I've been a bit South of you for about a decade and never heard of relish on PP. I asked a buddy of mine that has been in the area for a lot longer and he has also never heard of that combo.
Looks good man! I can only guess the full pics didn't come up because of the size.
Nice beans addition in the pic - I did beans on the side but will definitely smoke some next time!
Been using a little bit of white vinegar on a paper towel before, or a few hours after, each smoke and the glass cleans right up. My last smoke was 10.5 hours at 275F and it was a bit harder to clean up so not sure if the higher heat helps bake the smoke on worse. I'm finding that the moisture...
Thanks Al - unfortunately that's in in-store only item and they won't ship it! But now I'm on a quest to find it so thanks for posting up that pic of it and getting me motivated to find it again!
Hey Bear - checking out MusikFest at all this week?
Hi Al - my wife was just asking about taking a break from pork smoking and how about doing some fish? This looks tasty, quick and easy, but a couple of quick questions:
1) Did you do the salmon to a specific IT or just by appearance and flaking (like I would normally do when baking or pan...
I just saw your review on the Smokin-it #2D and doesn't seem like something I'd want (not sure about others) after reading that. The "burp" issue is interesting (learn something about smoking new everyday now) - is this common for all Smokin-it models or do others have better air flow? Thanks!
I've been loving my MES 30 but that Smokin-it #2D does look quality built and is $79 off until tomorrow. Any notable negatives with the Smokin-it smokers? Looks like you would have to open it to add wood chips (I like the MES side chip loader putting a little bit in at a time and adding more...
I just ran it on the higher end of the smoking scale (275F) with few modest sized hand fulls of mesquite/apple chips and had a decent looking ring - at least in some areas but possibly not all throughout.
"#2 From what I understand, you cannot get a smoke ring with the Masterbuilt. But he claims he can get a smoke ring every time"
--> Check out the thread and Qview I put up last night for my first butt on my MES 30 - it has a smoke ring.
"#3 It can get hot enough to sear steaks and cook pizza...
Thanks Bear! I read through all 400 posts in your butt step by step and learned a ton there, then decided to get a little adventurous and try the higher heat with no wrap.
Humdinger - I'll definitely study up on the Fatties and ping you if I have any confirmations needed!
Thanks Humdinger and Pit! I'll definitely try another similar one soon as an experiment and to refill the PP supply! But I have to try a few other smokes first - I'm seeing a Fatty in my near future! The threads on here for Fatties look awesome!
