    Day off today so I did some ribs

    I have to think that's a matter of personal taste. I prefer a bit of chew, my wife likes fall of the bone. One of the best things about smoking at home is being able to make what you like. Great experiment, thanks for sharing the experience.

    Masterbuilt Glass Door or Not?

    I have a MES 40 with a glass door. After cleaning it a couple of times, I decided it just wasn't worth the effort. I don't spend a lot of time out by the smokers during a cook, except when I have to add chips to the MES, and once the TBS starts to roll, I fly by instruments ( remote thermometers ).

    Day off today so I did some ribs

    I usually smoke ribs at 225 for 5 to 6 hours, to give them a little more time in the smoke. I have been using Pit Boss Competition Blend for most smokes, but when I want more smoke flavor, I use Lumberjack in my pellet smoker. Last brisket was done with hickory, last shoulder with cherry. Your...

    white pepper

    White pepper is usually found in a much finer grind than black. The black and white mixed together add another layer of flavor in your brisket rub or everyday SPOG.

    Everything taste like a camp fire

    I run my MES with the vent wide open. I don't use the water pan, and never soak the chips. Keep the drip pan clean, empty the ash pan after each use. Chips should burn for 30 to 45 minutes before adding more, and watch for that beautiful thin blue smoke. I hope you get it figured out and start...

    Mission BBQ

    Neat looking truck. It would be interesting to see the other side of it, especially while it was in use. It seems to me that the better your homemade barbeque gets, the less impressed you become with restaurant variety food. =)

    Custom Fire Box ideas

    The barrel shaped one has a lot of character. The gravitas factor if high, make something awesome out of that.

    Behemoth Beef Ribs

    Wow ! You can DINE-o-saur on those Dino- mite ribs all night. Fred, Barney, Betty and Wilma would feel right at home. They look great.

    New Pit Boss

    Great looking bark ! I bought a little 2 gallon shop vac on Amazon for about $30. I vaccum out the burner area after every 3 or 4 cooks, and reverse the hose and blow out the dust at the same time.

    Beef Ribs O-Plenty

    Thanks for the reply . I am so looking forward to smoking them. Yours look awesome. I also heard RR was part of SRF. It's not just excellent potatoes that come out of Idaho. There is some great beef from here too. There is a large commercial buffalo opperation just northwest of here. Even WinCo...

    Sams Club Membership ?

    Take your wife ? .....could get scary. We have a bunch of grandkids and they sell kids clothes. If it's just for meat, I go alone. If my wife goes, I always remember to wear comfortable shoes =) Bought a very nice tv last year in a box with a tear in it. Half off. You never know what you might find.

    Sams Club Membership ?

    I have had a Sam's club membership for about 10 years. The meat is awesome, great price on poultry and sometimes seafood. My wife buys a lot of items like laundry supplies, toilet paper, etc. I have bought tires and car batteries, clothing items, vitamins, and a lot of other stuff that pops up...

    Morton TQ to brine corned tri-tip 2 questions???

    If you open the package, and drain the liquid, I would suggest you vacuum seal it then freeze it. If you don't have a sealer, the " soda straw in the zip lock " works fairly well for getting most of the air out, and lowering the chance of getting freezer burn.

    Beef Ribs O-Plenty

    After seeing your post last night, I got up early this morning and went to Albertsons. They had a few racks @ $2.49 that looked good and meaty. It wasn't as good a deal as you got, but still a good deal. Thanks for the heads up, the butcher told me that sometimes a single store in the chain can...

    Afraid to try

    Start off doing something that you're good at and comfortable with. If cost is an issue, just pick up a couple of nice steaks. My favorite game meat is elk. It resembles beef, and may be a good gateway meat to get you going. Try a rub with some olive oil, rosemary and thyme, then add your...

    Man caught in auger at Royal Oak charcoal plant near Branson, Mo

    Here' s hoping the company will take care of him, and he has good insurance. If he recovers, it's going to be a long road back.

    Grilling fruit

    Be sure to place the fruit where nothing else had been on the grate for a while. That would give you a clean spot, and a hotter surface. Don't move it around until it has grill marks.
