If you have Hi Mountain "kits" near you you might try their sweet and spicy or the mandarin teriyaki blend...

    Any advice on new MES for pork butt?

    I've done quite a few pork butts in mine a lot of different ways and I don't know if much extra "monkey business" is worth it . I guess I just like to rub some mustard (prepared yellow mustard like on a hot dog or hamburger ) then sprinkle some rub on it and put it in the smoker . I have done...

    cracker barrel turkey sausage

    has anyone got any idea how they make this stuff ? I'm guessing it's got some cure in it because it is so "bacon like " . I did a search trying to find "imitation" recipes and no luck . I was thinking just buying some ground turkey and putting some tenderquick in it along with some other spices...

    Do you have a prefered brand of Soy or worchester sauce

    I use Kikkoman .

(I think that's how it goes , I saw...

    MES - Need More Smoke

    yeah , by black wood chips I mean in the chip pan they are warming enough to char and give off some smoke , but they are not being totally burned to the point of turning to white ash . I think the ones I put in the loading tube to "warm" are getting a good supply of oxygen , but not enough...
