if you are using the MES you may need to put a palm full of chips in closer to every 30 -45 min.
If you want real simplicity buy the amazen smoker. no chips to fool with. pour the saw dust or pellets in the tray light it . set it in your smoker and forget it. dust will smoke 3-4 hrs pellets...
No smokin. BUT did a 4 gallon pot of scratch spaghetti sauce yesterday and 5 lbs of meat balls . also did a butt in the crock pot pulled it for bbq pork and cuban sammies.
Today i have a 10 lb butt boiling on the stove w/ onions peppers and celery to make boudin this afternoon.
Maybe i'll...
Smokin is / was low and slow . 225 - 235 and an all day / night affair.
Then along came competition smoking.. You have to turn in brisket ribs and chicken in 6 -7 hours.
No way you can prep cook and plate a packer brisket in 6 hrs and ribs in 4 at 225 - 235
that's when high temp speed...
Any auto parts store will have high temp silicon. use it to form a gasket for the door and to seal small leaks. Be careful when using mesquite wood .It has a great flavor for beef but is strong and to much can over power you meat. when smoking a good fatty cut of meat like butts or brisket i...
You may want to rethink not putting the pit on wheels of some sort. An empty 200 u.s. gal tank weighs in at 400 lbs .

I have used the MES for over 5 years and for the last 2 years with the amns or amnps. Never had a sour taste. The pitmaster blend is stronger flavored than some of the others?
I run top vent wide open and remove the chip loader chute from the unit to provide maximum air flow..
Cold meat or...
To make good au jus you need the drippings from a beef something you have cooked. I brown a hand full of diced onions ,add the pan drippings and then add a box of low sodium beef broth. If you want to get fancy add a 1/2 cup red wine and then reduce the liquid by half.
Mike we dont clean them first just throw them live on the grill just like tossing in boiling water. they don't get any seasoning just some smoky flavor. You can make a dipping sauce if you want to.
They don't like it when they are on the losing end . Years ago when they still used pricing guns . some poor kid at my local albertsons labeled all the crown royal 1.75 bottles at the price of a fifth. I was the first one to spot it and emptied the shelf. Was checking out and the cashier was...
Here is the recipe for Tony chacheres in the green can . You can omit all salt if you like salt free or you can add sugar if you want to make it a rub.
This is the recipe for Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning in the green can that most of us use.
1-26oz box of salt ( I cut this by half)
1-1/2...
