    Wet brine question

    I think I'm going to try pops wet brine for curing my BB. After it is done soaking in the brine,do I need to rinse off, pat dry with paper towels, and throw a fan on it to form a pellicle?

    First Brisket on! (Its done. Pictures add.)

    Correct,once it's wrapped in foil the smoke can't reach the meat, so you would be wasting wood. Your right on target time wise,my briskets usually take about 4-5 hours tops.Once its wrapped in foil the IT will rise quickly.

    But don't load it up too much or you'll have heavy billowing smoke which ='s not good eats.A small handfull every 30 or so minutes.

    Moving MES 40" control box from top to another location?

    Good idea to raise the smoker, but I dont think moving the control box will be needed.The newer models come with a RF controller which, I believe, has all the same functions.I'm sure some one will come along and correct me if I'm wrong.

    Instructions for Boston Butt

    CJ, thanks for the advice. I'm looking at the smoker now and have a few more questions: 1 - Assuming that I'm going to smoke a Boston Butt, should the vent be open or closed;  The AMNPS needs plenty of air so,fully open. 2 - Do I need to use the water bowl; Yes,but you dont have to put water...

    Best cut of meat for Buck Board Bacon?

    The meatier it is,the more ham like it will be.There is no way around that.My first bacon attempt using a belly had so much meat to fat ratio ,I was a bit dissapointed.It still was very good but ham like.So,If looking for something that is more baconny(new word) you'll want something that has...

    Bear, I didnt monitor the internal or extrenal temps.I set the smoker to 100 then unplugged it when I put the meat in.Put it in @ 8 PM and took out this morning at 6AM(not counting the day light saving nonsense,I really wish they would pick a time and stick with it) .Not sure when the pellets...
