    Unseasonably warm for us as well.  Mid 60's yesterday.  Record low for this time of year is in the -30's.  I'd say normal hi is around 25-30 this time of year.

    new mes 30 smoker

    Go get a cheapo 3 dollar oven thermometer and check it vs your oven(not to say an oven can't be off) but that's what I did and mine is about 15-20 degrees off.  This is the cheaper way to do it, there are many digitals with probes you can purchase as well, but they will run you more.

    new mes 30 smoker

    What was your "inside" temp of the smoker?  My MES digital read out is off from actual temp so you may want to check that.  As far as the vent, I leave my full open all the time.  The black water is probably creosote dripping down the inside of the door and missing the drip pan.  Sounds like...

    Leftover Brisket Chili! With Q-view

    Why thank you sir!  In my chili comps we have to use "ground" (CASI) but I usually ask for a chili grind which is much more coarse than your regular ground beef.  If the "local" comps were ICS they would use "cubed" meat.  I also attempt not to "break up" the ground beef when I use regular...

    Leftover Brisket Chili! With Q-view

    Had some leftover brisket from Christmas day and needed to do something with it so I fired up my dutch oven and made some chili.  I used my competition bean chili recipe and just cut back on the ground pork and added my brisket left over from a few days prior. It turned out great!  Too bad I...
