    Another 1st timer for TriTip and I need some guidance.

    I might have messed up. I read a recipe on another site that sounded tasty so I went and got the ingredients. I was attracted to the ingredients that I know that my wife is crazy about. Mostly I wanted to try my new smoker, a Masterbuilt non electric. Here is the recipe and it's meant to be...

    Newbie here witha couple of questions.

    For those with the AMZNP smoke generator, do you still use the wood pan or did you set it aside. It seems like a lot of folks do not use the pan filled with water so do you set aside and make use of the room for something else ? Thanks.

    Just bought Masterbuilt extra wide propane smoker, have a few questions...

    Not to attempt to hijack the thread but does the cast iron skillet go on top of the standard wood box or is it a replacement for it, and sits right on the burner ? Newbie here so lots of interest in this thread.

    I think I did some stuff wrong

    This was my 1st shot at smoking cheese. My smoker is an MES 30 but not electric. I bought 3 different cheeses which might have been a mistake. Sharp cheddar, Fontina, Hvarti with the cheddar being hard and the other two being soft. I smoked them about 2.5 hours at temperatures ranging from 65...

    A few more questions before I attempt this, if you don't mind.

    1) When you put the pellets or sawdust into the AMNPS, do you just pour them in and tidy up, or do you squeeze them together ? 2) I plan on using another independent internal thermometer, one with proven accuracy. Will the temp inside the smoker be able to reach higher temps with the bird out...

    I need help to predict the cooking time

    I am going to try my 1st smoked turkey on Monday. My wife, bless her heart got the biggest she could find at 22lbs. It is 8% infused goodies of some kind and we will brine it about 24 hours. About how long will it take in my MES (no E) 22" ? I will keep it set at around 225 - 250. I am...

    My 1st time using a MEF,,,,without the "E"

    In other words mine is not electrric. Plus this is my 1st time using the techniques, recipes, and equipment mentioned here. I was really interested in doing a brined turkey but had thought that I better practice on something smaller. So, I had 4 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 5...

    A-Maze--in smoke

    I got the new one, 5x8, that supposedly can use either pellets or sawdust. I plan to give it a spin this weekend on a turkey.

    A-Maze--in smoke

    I just got my new Amaze-in smoke maker and have a question. Do you use it in addition to the wood chips or instead of ? Also, do you use wood chips or chunks as the normal smoke making ingredient ? I have a Masterbuilt 30" but not the electric. Thanks

    Hello everyone and

    it's very nice to meet you. Real name is George and I hail from Houston Tejas and have a few years smoking experience. Though it has fallen into disuse for a few reasons. I had a Brinkman, the pill shaped thing, gas fired. It had a lot of miles on it and the bottom kettle had big holes in it. I...
