    New Akorn

    hello all, been quite a while since I have stopped in. I incesantly use the site to find resources but don’t post much..as a matter of fact, my last post was about my fried MES Well it’s time for round 2. I got myself an akorn a few days ago and all but one evening I have been playing with it...

    Catastrophe strikes

    Apologies for the lengthy replies, but just so I’m not scaring anyone out of using these products, it wasn’t fault of either product. My smoker did not have a build up of grease on it, only in the pan from an apparently very fatty butt. The element did not light the grease and the smoker temp...

    Catastrophe strikes

    I’d really like to get another mes 30 like I have, but I’ll have to try and find the old manual so I know the product number to see if that’s even possible. Price range is definitely below 300 right now. Too limited time to want to let anything more expensive sit around most of the year unused...

    Catastrophe strikes

    RIP to my 1 year old MES 30. Decided to smoke a butt today but it went exactly opposite of how it should. Long story short, every row of pellets caught on fire, and when I try to pull the amzn out my grease catch pan caught on fire...all down hill from there. Melted my smoker something bad but...

    Smoked deer tenderloin

    hello all! It’s been a while, I creep around quite a bit but haven’t smoked in a coons age. Been working like a dog and trying to hunt here and there. Killed a small doe a few weeks ago and got around to smoking a backstrap and tenderloin today. Used a store bought rub that is garbage, used...

    Mailbox mod with water pan?

    Right, it wouldn’t be exactly like a bong (no personal experience here either) but still may act to collect some impurities. Not something I care about doing either way. Just curious what the pros thofht

    Mailbox mod with water pan?

    This too far fetched to even be made fun of? Lol

    Mailbox mod with water pan?

    Hey guys, I haven’t posted in a while, nor have I smoked much more than a couple of rib racks, but I read a lot and had thrown the idea of a mailbox mod for my MES. Now I should preface this by saying I’ve never had an issue with bitter flavor from my amazen but I read where some had. I also...

    First butt in progress

    Aaah it was ok. My thermo wasn’t in the right spot so when i thought it was the bright temp for pulled pork it was actually about 15 degrees shy. The sauce really picked it up but it surely wasn’t tender

    First butt in progress

    Thanks for the help men. My butt never/hasn’t stalled as of yet, but I’m sitting about 10 degrees from where I’d like so i bumped up the heat to hurry things along. I whipped up some of (spelling may be wrong) soflaquers finishing sauce. It’s good stuff!

    First butt in progress

    hello all, work keeps me rolling so i haven’t been able to smoke in a good while, I’ve been stalking you guys though and have seen some good things! I’m doing my first butt, as the title says. Rubbed with some random spices and plenty of sugar and thrown in my MES 30 at 230*. Got my thermpro...

    2nd smoke: baby backs(few pics as I go)

    They turned out awesome! Much better than the chicken last week. I was afraid at first i didn’t get enough smoke flavor but boy after resting them, they were just right. My temps were up and down bc it’s so cold I may or may not have opened up the door too much lol Buddy was supposed to provide...

    Do you have a sauce recipe that’s very simple, aside from store bought?

    2nd smoke: baby backs(few pics as I go)

    Hello again all, I haven’t posted any, outside of my first smoke thread, but I’ve been obsessed with stalking the forum. Today I’ve got some hickory chips instead of the pellets i was using and i read on here to try 3-5 chips at a time (if you have time to babysit and keep refueling) to...

    First smoke-legs, Mac and cheese, and asparagus

    You’re absolutely right, tallbm, it is designed for chips and i knew that but someone fav me the pellets as a gift so i was also experimenting with their effectiveness/usefulness in my setup. I don’t want to bite off more than i can chew but i sure am looking forward to smoking a butt when i...
