    Results just in: First attempt at Chuckie miserable failure

    Yea I think if I'd have had a can of French onion soup or even some beef broth available this would have had a very different ending. Never thought about it until it was too late so I had to come up with something on the fly and it didn't pan out (no pun intended).I will definitely be better...

    Results just in: First attempt at Chuckie miserable failure

    .......soooo, tried my first Chuckie today and it didn't go well. Good part is I know, for the most part, where I went wrong so maybe next time will be better. I seasoned it up last night like an Aaron Franklin brisket with tons of salt and pepper, some onion and garlic powder and even some...

    First butt on the new MES with Q view

    Hey thanks for all the comments guys. FINALLY got to have a taste and it was worth the wait. I do a lot of picnic shoulders because they're bigger and cheaper but there is no comparing the taste and texture to a well cooked butt. This is so tender and juicy and almost all the fat was rendered...

    First butt on the new MES with Q view

    I was shooting for 200 and it was rising quick so I let it ride. It's now off the smoker and resting comfortably but it looks too good to let it rest for long. I have got to get me some of this before I go to bed! I'll let it sit for a half hour to 45 mins and then I'll pull at least some of it...

    First butt on the new MES with Q view

    Still smokin here! This was supposed to be dinner but it's 9:30 and it's still not there. Butt is at 189 and rising so I'm getting fairly close to pulling it but by the time it rests it will be too late to do anything with it tonight. Beans are looking good so I may get to have some of those...

    First butt on the new MES with Q view

    Things seem to coming along pretty well, pork is stalled at 156 and melting out all it's juicy goodness into the beans. I'll give it a couple hours and if it doesn't come out of it I'll foil to get it up to temp. Beans are in and the chicken is out. Chicken tasted like very good BBQ chicken that...

    First butt on the new MES with Q view

    Ok so apparently the chicken IT wasn't as high as I thought it was (no wonder it "cooked so fast") so it will finish on the grill. Not sure what went wrong because I checked with two thermometers and they both said it was done and now they both say it's not. The smallest one was actually done so...

    First butt on the new MES with Q view

    Chicken is off the smoker and onto the grill to crisp the skin and set the glaze. Cooked a lot faster than I thought it would so it really didn't get that smoke on it. Smoker is holding steady at 225-235 and the butt is at 150 right now.
