    here we go, wish me luck

    Well that's where I'm not sure, I read a few guys have done that and it worked for them. If you think I should leave it a 100 I'll give that a try. Like I said, I'm looking for sage advice.

    Well, my bellies have cured for 2 weeks in Pop's brine and I just took them out. I did a test fry and the salt level is perfect. They are in the fridge drying out and tomorrow they go into my MES. I'm going to use a mix of Hickory and Cherry pellets in the Amazen. I plan on setting the temp at...

    First brisket, dry. Help

    Yea, thats what I'm thinking. Next time I'm going to bring it up to 160 then wrap it foil with a little spritz of apple juice, then bring it up to 200.

    First brisket, dry. Help

    Richard, that makes sense, I'll try it next time. I used the 3-3-0 method for the ribs because it was recommended for when the weather is cold on another thread and it was really cold on Sunday. Next time, hopefully the weather will be warmer i'll use the 3-2-1 method. Thanks

    First brisket, dry. Help

    Yesterday I used my MES30 for the first time. I placed a brisket and ribs in it. I started the brisket first, set the temp at 230. I placed the brisket on the rack just above the water pan. I used the temp probe to watch the internal temp. After 10 hrs it hit 200 and I wrapped it in foil and a...

    Hello, my name is Robert. My kids got me a MES 30 for Christmas and I have a little experience using my Weber Kettle grill to smoke ribs, butts and brisket. Looking to get better and pick up lots of tips and recipes. Would love to learn how to smoke sausage.
