    Should I buy a MES30 even if I have a propane version?

    He's got some impressive wood.

    Should I buy a MES30 even if I have a propane version?

    Thanks for the info. I was hoping that it was the 2.5 but wasn't quite sure. The part that was making me think that it wasn't was that I thought that all 2.5s were bluetooth and had the bluetooth logo. And there is no sun shield on the control panel. But there seem to be hundreds of...

    First briskets on my Rec Tec

    I need co-workers like you. I just get leftover Halloween candy in December and Easter candy in June.

    Should I buy a MES30 even if I have a propane version?

    So, I just recently got into smoking and am hooked. 100% hooked. I ended up going with the Masterbuilt propane as my first smoker but didn't put a lot of thought into the purchase. I like it but I will most likely upgrade at some point to a "real" smoker. But, for the interim I'm gonna have...

    Pirate Birthday Cake

    I can't say that I've ever seen a better birthday (or any other) cake. Great job. Chase is one lucky guy. So is Bear Jr.

    Congrats! Those wings look amazing. Would you mind sharing your wing recipe? I'm a huge wing fan and that's one of the next smokes on my wish list.

    Newbie on Ribs for Father's Day.. My Journey :)

    The ribs look amazing and that's the only thing that matters. But it does seem like you learned alot about your smoker and keeping the temp steady which should make the next smoke even better.

    I'm using a Masterbuilt propane smoker.

    Going to try my first brisket today

    And attempt #2 was a success. I added a lot more smoke this time but didn't get as good of a smoke ring. But the crowning achievement was getting the point properly separated and making burnt ends. I've never had them before and they were amazing!

    Brisket Flat

    Do you keep running the AMNPS for the entire smoke? I've heard a lot of people say that they stop doing it when the meat hits a certain temperature.

    First Post - Cooking My First Brisket

    I was really nervous about my first brisket as well. I'm certainly no expert but I survived my first one and it tasted pretty darn good. The two biggest impediments seem to be: (1) having enough knowledge of your smoker to maintain a steady, low temperature and the right amount of smoke, and...

    Going to try my first brisket today

    And I'm hooked! My wife was at the local Costco Business Center today and I asked her to pick up another brisket. 13-pound prime this time around. My goal is to get the brisket in the smoker by 8 pm on Friday night and look at taking her off hopefully a little bit after noon. I've definitely...

    new york city area question

    As others have noted, definitely check the codes. Being in a suburb should help because city/town officials should have time (and the desire) to talk to you -- and probably would love to have a good BBQ place. I agree with Lancer that you should talk to the building department/code enforcement...

    Jeff's BBQ Sauce

    I'm going to order Jeff's rubs and BBQ sauce but was wondering about the amount of heat in the sauce after reading this post. I love as much heat as I can get but I'm wondering if it might be too spicy for my wife and girls. Is it really that spicy? Would cutting back on the amount of...

    HOME ALONE RIBS

    So I'm not the only one that wonders if that Dewalt accidentally fell? They're generally fairly tough and can take some abuse. But Al certainly found a better way to spend the day. Those ribs look amazing!

    I cut against the grain.

    Going to try my first brisket today

    The taste and texture was amazing. But I had a tough time carving slices. The meat kept falling apart as I cut it. I think that part of the problem was not having the right knife for the job. But not bad for my first attempt.

    Finally pulled it off after 18.5 hours. IT right at 200 and soft like butter. It's now in the cooler for 2 hours.
