    First Butt In My MES 30 - No Stall!

    Thanks Al and Bill! Not sure about that smoke ring - but guessing that the relatively high heat and no fool wrap helped! I only used a small handful of chips to start, another small handful at 1.5 hours and a half handful at 4 hours. I only opened the door once the entire time to probe. I'm...

    walmart putting smokers on clearance

    I picked up my MES 30 (Gen 1, Glass door) last fall in a Walmart Clearance.  I'm trying to find the receipt but I think it was $199 down to $149.  As an aside, if you see any other outdoor stuff while you're there and would like it then ask the person that looks like they are in charge is there...

    Did my first smoke yesterday! Pics Included!

    Looks great!  I have an 8.8 pound butt I wanted to do this weekend but the weather was miserable so I decided to hold off...  I've done them on the kettle in the past but going for the MES 30 smokin' this time at a higher temp (275F) with no wrapping.  We'll see how it comes out Thursday!

    Updated - Attempt #2: First Smoked Corned Beef Brisket & First Use Of iGrill Mini - With Some Fail.

    Thanks dirt!  It was actually one of your posts I saw about soaking the corned beef I saw a half hour after I put it in the smoker - a lot of great information in all you posts!  Thanks again - learning so much here!

    Updated - Attempt #2: First Smoked Corned Beef Brisket & First Use Of iGrill Mini - With Some Fail.

    I received a gift of corned beef brisket (flat) from my in-laws on Friday night and decided to make that my smoking project (third smoke on my MES 30) on Sunday!  So I had two failures - one described here and the other further down: I didn't do enough research here and only read a few threads...

    Poor Man's Burnt Ends - still one of my favorite meals

    That looks awesome and I have to try it soon!  Is that a custom handle install you got there?  I've been thinking about doing something similar but was afraid of drilling into the smoker...

    Not much smoke from my 30" Masterbuilt

    I seasoned up my MES 30 on July 4th weekend and have used it for three smokes so far.  I don't typically get a lot of smoke out of the smoker either, but you sure do get some smoke flavor imparted into your meats!  Just a Thin Blue Smoke (TBS) is all you really want/need.  One thing you can try...
