    First test MES + AMNPS + Mailbox mod

    I need to do this so my AMNPS works better. Thanks for the post, I'm inspired to finally take the leap and cut a giant hole in my beautiful smoker.

    Sous Vide recommendations

    I have the Chefman 1000W and am very happy with it. I think it's going on 2 years now and still going strong. You'll find it between $89-$99

    Country Style Ribs - Two Ways

    Used your cooking time and temps last night on some CSR's and they turned out fantastic. I only ate one though, gonna cut up the rest with some leftover brisket for a pot of chili tonight. It was really tough not to eat them all. Congratz on the carousel!

    MES Temp Struggles When Meat is Added

    I had trouble keeping temps on my 30" Smoke Hollow when under 40° outside until I covered it with a blanket. Even a bath towel you don't care about covering the top and hanging over the sides (not blocking any vents) helps.

    First smoked cheese

    Thanks for the ideas all! I'll definitely switch to dust and try that over pellets. I didn't like the light brown deposits you can see on the white cheddar and I know that's going to take weeks to mellow. I'm remodeling my back porch/smoking area but after that I'll look into the mailbox mod...

    First smoked cheese

    Well I didn't have any problems with the smoker temp getting hot. Most of the time it was 50° but having the smoke generator too close under the cheese caused more browning than I'd like. I was using a ribbed tray with open slot under it. that mailbox mod though would be excellent. Thanks...

    First smoked cheese

    Technically it's not my first - I tried about a 6 oz medium cheddar block for 1 hour back in October when there were pellets left burning on my AMPTS. Rested it for 3 weeks and was amazed at the taste. Time to get serious. Read a lot of articles and decided on 3 hours of cold smoke. I had ran...

    Freezing steaks after sous vide

    I don't believe you'll have as good of quality that way. I have prepared steaks for SV with seasoning and fresh aromatics, vacuum sealed and froze raw. Then weeks later pulled it out of the freezer and dropped it right into the SV at 130 for 2 hours and char finished. The quality was nearly as...

    If you haven't before, try TWO temp probes in the meat.

    A while back I read somewhere that with a chicken, dark meat tastes best at 170°F IT but white meat is best at 165°F IT. I believe it was in an article about spatchcocking. I do nearly all my birds spatchcocked after trying the first one. It dawned on me about a month after I bought a 2nd...

    Tri Tip

    Tri-tip is one of my favorites. I do like to finish them on a hot grill though. Just enough to char it up and finish that crust.

    Stuffed Pork Loin w/ Qview

    Picked up this 5lb half loin on sale for $1.68lb. Couldn't turn away at that price. I'd never tried a stuffed pork loin before so this was my chance. I seasoned both sides with SPOG and smoked paprika and some Tony's Cajun. I then added 1 1/2 Fuji apples and 3/4 can of whole cranberries...
