    Piedmontese Picanha Gift

    I always feel bad posting after being absent from the SMF, I know Im missing a lot of great cooks by good friends and haven't even responded to most kind words on my last thread. My apologies. However, as Ive already whined excessively about here, Im at a busy stage in my life. That being said...

    Lol! I had to buy these!

    Awesome, I’m so happy for you! First shakedown trip coming up and all set! We had a trailer for a few years, but the kids were young and my wife never took to it, so now I’m still a hotel guy. But I loved it when we did it. Awesome people at campgrounds, very social! The best was when we had...

    Fed up!

    It’s a little less work and a tad more money, but you can get a MES smoke generator on Amazon and a straight drain pipe for an easier “mail box mod”. This is one I did and still use the setup for cheese. I did end up spray painting the pipe silver for cold smoking to reflect sunlight...

    Fed up!

    Not sure how safe it is, but I used to put chunks next to the heating element. They smolder longer than just chips. Also, all though constant smoke is nice, there used to be a philosophy that the first and last hour of smoke were what mattered the most. When I had MES40 I followed that technique...

    New Guy

    Welcome from Virginia! MB are good smokers. If you have the cabinet style I recommend pulling the chip loader out half way to let more oxygen to the wood. I used to pull it out all the way if they weren’t smoking enough. Getting oxygen to them is the key. Soaking chips is controversial. I...

    Mushroom hunters

    I love mushrooms, but don’t trust myself so have to go to a local “mushroom guy” for local morels, oyster, etc. they also grow maitake and others all year around which is nice! I wish I had the brain for hunting them, but fear I’d be dead or tripping if I tried!

    Meats

    Retirement process grinds on, but I’ve had some time to do a few decent cooks. Just haven’t gotten around to posting. My sister came in for Easter weekend so it was a good excuse to go get some heritage pork and great Tri Tip! Both served with our favorite GR garlic mashed potatoes and an...

    Too good to be true?

    I got by BelFab from Craig last year. It’s a massive towable one with a flattop and warming box, only 4500 it was an amazing price and solid as you can get. His builds are a bit rough, but they are as dependable snd solid as you can get. For a patio version you’d really get an amazing price and...
