    BBQ Recommendations for St Louis, MO???

    Thanks for the info! I try to be keto but we'll see what happens on the trip :D Ah thanks! I had a lot more time to try places out there. At least it sounds like 2 of the 3 main places are in St Charles and I will be around there a few times so I think hitting up 2 of 3 will be easier than...

    BBQ Recommendations for St Louis, MO???

    Thanks, pork steak for bbq was not even on my radar :D I'll be staying in the Chesterfield area which is west of downtown St Louis by 20 min. This is exactly the info I'm looking for! We will be in St Charles at some point and maybe even a few times so it's good to know the 2 options there. I...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    @moussaka I'm with @dr k on this. Lower your P value down and see how it performs. I removed all of the stuff above the heating element in my MES40 so I have less deflection and trickery caused by that stuff :D The P value is the primary power value of how hard the controller will initial...

    Frozen BBQ.

    I wish I had the space for a chamber sealer. I hunt each year and bag 3-5 animals (deer and pigs) per year and the chamber sealer would take me forever but I still love the idea of it!

    Frozen BBQ.

    Hi there and welcome! As others have mentioned, yep freezing works fine in almost all cases with BBQ. I do 2 pork butts or 2 briskets anytime I smoke so I can vac seal one. I'm 1 person but will eat on that stuff like crazy and share with anyone/everyone who comes to hang out :D I find both...

    Redfish!

    I bet it was good! I remember the place but never tried it as it was not so close to my side of town but seen it plenty of times driving to and from Cabelas there in Allen :D

    Redfish!

    That is fantastic! Redfish taste sooo amazing. A Tex-Mex restaurant near me used to do char grilled Redfish Fajitas seasonally and it was one of my favorite dishes of theirs. To bad they stopped that many years ago. I order redfish anytime I see it at a restaurant, it's such a tasty fish!

    Curing pork belly for bacon.

    Hi there and welcome! I use 1.65% salt and 1% sugar and the proper amount of cure#1 for the amount of pork belly I'm curing for bacon. I use the temp walk up method like used with smoking sausage. You don't want to smoke too hot or you render out all the fat from the bacon. I start at like...

    Anyone tries these?

    Nice work on the brisket! I have not used whiskey barrel oak but in my college days I took an elective called "Beverage Survey" which was all about alcoholic beverages and we got to taste test hahaha. Wondeful elective credit :D What we learned about whiskey is they simply use Oak wood and...

    My Quest for Mexican Red Marinade

    Pork steaks are usually cut from a Pork Butt/Shoulder. If interested, the next time there is a $0.89-$0.99 pork butt sale you can get a pork butt and cut a bunch for cheap on your own. I just debone and then cut steaks on my own. I don't have a saw to cut through the bone so boneless it is :D

    Baby back ribs question(s).

    Hi there and welcome! I take all the guess work out these days and I follow SmokinAl's foolproof method. Put a bbq thermometer probe between the rib meat and when it hits 195-198F Internal Temp (IT) of the meat, take a toothpic and stab the meat all over and if it goes in without resistance...

    My Quest for Mexican Red Marinade

    Nice report and sucks to figure some things out from scratch lol. If you didn't throw those over seasoned cuts out you can do another Mexican dish with them and braise them in a skillet on the stove. A guisada dish should rescue them and have a pretty ok meal from them. If over seasoned salt...

    Next Cook 1st Brisket

    Congrats on the success of your 1st brisket piece! Yeah seasoning a brisket (hell most bbq meat) is a pretty simple ordeal in reality. I'm a Salt, Pepper, Onion, Garlic (SPOG) guy for brisket. SPOG will work magically with any meat! I also should have mentioned that with brisket, or anything...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    I'm glad all this info is helping out! Yeah there is still a little tinkering to do. The rewire + the PID = a whole new smoker. With any new smoker there is the period of tweaking and working it to see how everything goes and then boom you rock and roll knowing how to make everything happen...

    Free is for me!

    My guess is something insignificant in the element insulation or some grease on the element base at the wall or something silly like that. Do you have a non GFCI outlet you can easily use? I would think you would be ok with it. I've not had any issues and I'm too lazy to go and jack around with...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    I think my vent is about 70% or more closed. It's pretty stuck and I can only move it once it's hot since that unsticks it some lol. I don't think half open would hurt anything, just don't close it way down. Similar to dr k's setup I have a foil pan on the bottom rack which protects the...
