Hey busmania, thanks for the reply! I appreciate your help.
First off, let me say that I had better find a solution. With what I've (correction, "we've") paid for the grill, cart, accessories, if I don't, she's gonna have my hide hanging on the shed out back. That would be painful. Soooo...
Thanks for your reply, Mike243. The smoke flavor was very slight - if at all. I suspect that the wood burned up or the fire went out under the various chunks of wood within the first hour or hour and a half. I don't want to put too much wood on the charcoal but, not knowing which way the fire...
Just got a Kamado Joe for Christmas and have had two cooks on it. My problem with both cooks was that the smoke quit generating about 1 ½ hours into a 7-8 hour cook. I used 4 chunks of wood and spread 'em out like I was told. When the cook was over, I looked in the bed of coals and on the...
Just measured a shelf and it is 12x15 - so I've got the clearance you suggested. When you cook your prime rib and use a foil pan, do you use a shallow pan or a deep dish pan? What I'm wondering about is with a deep dish pan, the roast would sit down in the pan. Could smoke get to the bottom...
Thank you, Bear for the reply!
I have a MES 30 and don't have the surface area that a 40 does. I've been a little concerned about heat flow (with an 800w element)) as well as smoke flow using a large catch pan. On this cook, I cut the pan down and used a wire rack somewhat similar to your...
Hi Bear,
Got one of your stuffed loins in the fridge and ready to put it on tomorrow. You sure do a nice of job of both cooking' and documenting'.
Got a question if you don't mind???
I notice from the picture of your MES that you don't have a catch pan under the loins - or at least it looks...
Thanks for the reply. Just trying to get an idea how long this cook will take. Sounds like from the time I put it in the smoker to the time I take it off the grill will be about an hour. I also checked the price on a 3# bone in ribeye and it came out to about 33 bucks. I’d better not mess it...
Hi Bear,
I'm looking for a recipe to smoke a 10# frozen turkey. Didn't see one on you index, so I suppose you don't have one. Anybody else's recipe you might recommend?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi Zak.
Let me test your memory. The sauce you used in this post - was it JJ's Sauce or JJ's Finishing Sauce? I've got the recipe for the finishing sauce but can't find a recipe for JJ's Sauce.
Thanks,

Good job, looks great.
I, too, am a "newbie " so you can take my comments pretty lightly. Anyway, I trim as much of the fat off as possible. I find most people don't like hunks of fat in their BBQ. I cooked my third butte this weekend and it turned out great. I used Bear's ste-by-step for...
Mine started off pretty normal with the swings you talk about. But then the wide swings from 250 to 316 and back. Did that for the last 6 hours or so of the smoke. Hopefully, that was just a one time thing, and it'll get back to normal on my next smoke!!!!

Guilty on both accounts! When I reloaded the tray I put it up on the shelf above the power element and also didn't fill the rows so high. I lit the tray and let it "burn" for 20 minutes before putting it back into the smoker. I thought I had a good "fire" going. Unfortunately, after about 30...
