    First Attempt at bacon...not good

    You have to soak it and rinse when curing is complete. Then test fry a piece and see how you like it. Might have to soak some more. Also you need to start off at a lower smoke temp and gradually step it up.

    Welcome to the forum. Glad to have you aboard. Lots of good folks and great info here. Use that search function to get all kinds of new recipes, and that chargriller can become a bit more accurate and easier to handle with a couple of mods.

    First Beef on the new Char Griller Pellet Smoker

    Hey Chef, great menu there. Just one suggestion on the heat differential............ if the temp differential bothers you just boost the p setting one more number. If you have a tight cooker (and the chargriller has a nice fitting lid) raising the p number tends to work for hot weather p-3 or...

    MES 800 or 1200 watts?

    The gen 2 has wheels and a handle. No hand truck necessary. One of the few good things about it.

    Well I finaly pulled the trigger

    Congrats on the new pellet muncher. That Yoder is great cooker. The quality of the pellets you use makes a difference in the smoke flavor so while you're waiting you might want to research that. You're gonna love that thing.

    How do you like your mes or should I by a propane smoker?

    If you want another option for set and forget consider a pellet cooker. You're still cooking with wood so you get your smoke ring if thats important to you. One of the beat values out there now is the CharGriller pellet muncher at Lowes for about $450. Lots of great reviews on this forum and...

    first brisket disaster!

    Yeah, what J I said......we can help a bit more with a bit more info. If it didn't pass the probe test it wasn't ready. Also, the wrap and rest with a little liquid is as important as the cook itself. BTW.... I never wrapped a brisket before it was done in twenty years. And I haven't smoked...

    masterbuilt temp control??

    The new generation of masterbuilts are notorious for the exact issue you are experiencing. What this means for you is, because you have a set limit of 275 on your controller, the highest cook temp that you can attain is about 250. As you get into smoking other things you will probably want to...

    mes40

    Amazon has the gen1 for 399 and the gen 2 for 299. What does that tell you?
  15. geerock

    Which of these two models would you choose

    The more expensive one is the older and better generation 1. 1200 watt element, remote, wheels, and reliable design. The 0512 is the generation 2 that have had many issues with temp control, bad controllers, restrictive air flow, and very uneven hot spots. The gen 1 may be more expensive...

    First time Pulled Pork maker - Forum has been invaluable - 1 question on amount of time

    Sounds like you may not be sure of your smoker temp either. When meat hits 200 IT wrap and rest for an hour. One small lesson.... you say you have a cheap smoker abd a cheap therm. You are going to be guessing everytime you smoke something. You can makr life easy if you invest in a maverick...
