    Brisket stalled out...question

    Thanks Mike and Lemans, I did bump up the temp a little to 235 so we'll see. Still not budging and been a few hours at this temp. Not sure what the deal is. Starting to question my thermometers but doubt 2 are wrong. When I can slide one in really easy like butter I guess that is when it will be...

    Brisket stalled out...question

    Hey all, I'm doing a small 4 pounder today and seem to be stuck right at 171 and has been there for about an hour. I wrapped it at 160 then went up until this point.  It's been in there over 8 hours and i've tested it with 2 thermometers, same reading. Just wait it out? It's definitely not done...

    First time brisket smoke in MES 30

    Internal temp at 145 at 11am. Amnps not cooperating this morning, had to relight it after an hour or so. Not sure what the deal was.

    starting fires and learning the hard way

    I looked at it this morning and wasn't bent that much to notice in a picture. Like I said I just crimped the sides in a little with some pliers and it fit better.

    starting fires and learning the hard way

    I'll snap a pic in the morning; throwing on a small brisket. I just took some pliers and bent the sides in a little bit not sure if it will be that noticeable on a photo but I'll try to get a good one.

    starting fires and learning the hard way

    Hey Cuckoo BBQ, I have a MES 30 and like you have to wedge it in there next to the chip tray.  I did bend one side of AMNPS a little which makes it fit better.  Works well and I have not had any flare ups.  I micro the pellets for a few minutes first, torch them in the amps but not fill it up...

    First time brisket smoke in MES 30

    This is great, thank you very much for the reply.  Looking at the meat in the package now and not seeing a fat cap so I'm hoping it doesn't turn out dry as a bone.  I'll do some Q-View tomorrow when I get it going and let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks!

    First time brisket smoke in MES 30

    Hey everyone, So I've had the smoker for a while  now and done mostly ribs and chicken, but haven't tried a brisket until this weekend. My wife picked up a small one to test drive from Trader Joe's at 5 lbs.  Any thoughts as to how long (roughly) this should take and any tips/advice for a...

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    I have a MES 30 2nd gen and have to sort of wedge the amnps right next to the heating element unit. There are no rails to put it on and wanted it up off the bottom to help with air flow. It's a tight fit but works well.

    Ribs going in the MES and using the amnps first time

    Ribs were very good. Won't be quitting the day job just yet though, sadly. Wife approved as well and gave me 2 thumbs up. Making rib tostadas with the leftovers for the game tonight. Shell, black bean with a little yogurt paste, rib meat, spicy slaw on top....

    Ribs going in the MES and using the amnps first time

    Love this idea! Will do that next time. Ribs turned out great, we were testing 3 racks all from different stores. I'm a no sauce kinda guy. Kids too.
