Last night I put some rosemary evoo and bbq rub, saran wrapped, and let sit in fridge overnight. Put on some extra rub this morning. Had the smoker ready and the butts in at 8:30 this morning. Have the temp at 235 but my MES is about 5 degrees off so it is really at about 230.
Right now (at...
I did my first whole chicken last weekend.
Brine:
4qt water
1 cup sea salt
2tbsp garlic powder
2tbsp onion powder
2tbsp paprika
Brined for 5 hours.
Smoked with 50/50 hickory/apple.
Smoked at 230 degrees which I know is a little lower than recommended for chicken but also had pork loins in...
Good stuff. I may have to try this. The wireless aspect of my ET-73 is pretty much useless based on where my smoker is and where I would monitor it inside (which isn't anywhere special, just across the patio and inside the sliding glass door).
Haha, I just recently got my smoker and haven't had a chance to do a brisket yet. Hadn't really thought of the space issue I'll have in my 30" MES until I saw your pic. I'll probably have to do the same thing with bending it up like that.
It was roughly 4.5 to 5 lbs. I cooked it at roughly 225 degrees and it took 3 hours. Took it out at 135 and since it finished so early it sat in the foil wrap / towel / cooler for about 3 hours.
I pulled it at 135 and foil wrapped it. It finished a lot quicker than I thought it would so it sat in the foil wrap (wrapped in a towel and in the cooler) for nearly 3 hours. Was still nice and warm when we ate it. Gotta love that foil wrap / towel / cooler trick.
Yesterday I made my first ABT's. However, the wife was out for a girls night out so she missed them. We had made arrangements for me to pick her up from the restaurant so she could have a few drinks. It was funny because all the way home I was ranting and raving about the ABT's and she was...
I kept the temp at 230 in the MES (which after playing around with my new ET-73 this weekend I think is really 225 - about 5 degrees off).
The bacon I used was really thin. The cheap store brand stuff. I read another post on here about using thin bacon to help it crisp up and it seemed to work...
