    Unbelievable shrimp/lobster roll

    How was it? A technicality to ask because I know this rub is off the hook on seafood :D

    2nd attempt Brisket

    My guess is.. Salt / Cracked black pepper?

    Making Lox a picture guide.

    So, can the cure used in this recipe be replaced with Morton's Quick Tender (or is it Tender Quick? hah)

    Making a faux Lox

    I really enjoy lox on my cream cheese bagels, and I'd like to try and make something similar with my smoker. I can't cold smoke, and I don't have any of the cure I keep seeing people reference for lox recipes (all I have is Morton's Quick Cure). I'm just wondering if there are any recipes out...

    "resting Meat Myths"

    Definitely not a myth. I can tell when a chef at a restaurant prematurely cuts into the meat because unrested meat will leave juice all over the plate, while rested meat can be cut and lose relatively little.

    Ever wonder what happens when you're a dumbass and you leave your pellets outside?

    Most of them grew to monsterous proportions and fell out of the bag lol. The stuff that stayed in the bags I kept and I'll see about drying them. I guess I'm not too bummed since this cherry/apple/pecan stuff really isn't to my taste. I can't actually taste much smoke when I use them. I'll...

    Ever wonder what happens when you're a dumbass and you leave your pellets outside?

    This is what happens: The little red arrow there is for reference.. that's what a normal pellet looks like (one of the few that survived). I had my bags of pellets (yeah, ALL of them, I'm a moron) sitting outside with the tops off because I had just been experimenting with different kinds in...

    Unbelievable shrimp/lobster roll

    I recently had the best lobster roll of my life, and then by some miracle, found the recipe online :D This works with both lobster chunks, crab chunks, or shrimp. First, the spices. You want each of these in equal measurements (1/4 tsp each = 4 servings). Black Pepper Celery Salt Garlic Salt...

    Burning Rub

    Also, does it taste ok? I've noticed just about everything I smoke (besides brisket.. *grumble*) for long periods of time always look burnt but taste delicious.

    First Beef Ribs with a side of Baby Backs

    I knew looking at this site when I haven't had anything to eat today (surgery tomorrow, can't eat for 24 hours. AHHH!) was a terrible, terrible idea. I think my stomach swallowed itself when I saw these pictures.

    What if I don't want my ribs 'fall off the bone'?

    I'll certainly give that a try, thanks for the suggestions. Your cook method/time was spot on! Very juicy/well cooked ribs.

    What if I don't want my ribs 'fall off the bone'?

    Welp, I finally got them done haha. I took a before picture of the ribs before they cooked, but they didn't save for some reason. I really liked the texture of these better without the foil. They turned out alright.. but I'm having the same issue that I've been having since I got the MES...

    Looks delicious, what kind of cheese did you use?

    Build quality of the MES

    How are your MES's holding up after continuous use? For $330 that I spent on mine, I'm a little underwhelmed with the quality of this thing. After I put it together, I noticed that the whole thing felt slightly rickety for the price paid. Two months after owning it, the wheels now squeal...

    What if I don't want my ribs 'fall off the bone'?

    I'm cooking some ribs for dinner tomorrow while I smoke my brisket. I've gotten a good taste down on my ribs, but my family complains that the meat just falls off the bone and they really aren't 'ribs' anymore. Is there any tried and true method to making tender ribs that hold to the bone...
