    Thanks to you guys, I did it...Bacon....

    If I put my amazen 12 inch tube in my mes the internal temp hits about 110-115. Get a good 5 hours of smoke. Would this be too warm to classify as a cold smoke. My bacon is dry cured and in the fridge ready to smoke.

    Today was day 19 and I removed the bacon from the bags and rinsed them. I did a taste test by cutting a small piece off and frying. The cajun coated one was a little salty but not too bad, the smokey sweet seasoned one was perfect as was the pepper coated one. I am guessing the added salt in the...

    Landscape nurseries around me sell what they call a garden mix. Might check in your area and have 2-3 yards of it delivered.

I buy shredded red cabbage, squirt a little olive oil in an iron skillet add the slaw stir to coat with the olive oil, then add a tablespoon of chili powder and a can of Rotel Tomatoes un drained. Cook stirring occasionally till the liquid has cooked off. I top...

    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    I actually inject my pork butt with apple cider and let it sit in the fridge overnight. I use a homemade rub on the outside and smoke away.

    Masterbuilt Smokers

    I found a MES 130B for 181.99 on Walmart's website. The Lowes price which I incorrectly posted as $299.00 was actually 229.00. Printed out the Walmart ad took it to Lowes and they matched the price. So I am currently seasoning it and going to smoke a pork butt when it is seasoned.

    Masterbuilt Smokers

    Fivetricks I believe you are right. On the Masterbuilt website they have the 30 800 watt on clearance. So I guess the MES 130B is the new model.

    Masterbuilt Smokers

    I have a question what is the difference between the MES 130B and the Masterbuilt 800 watt smoker? They both look the same, however the 130B is 299.00 at Lowes and the 800.watt is 189.99 Thanks in advance.

    Cure #1 and used the calculator posted on here. I got out my scale I use to measure gun powder when I reload ammo. Figured it would be pretty accurate.

    I bought a pork belly at Costco, cut in thirds. weighed out cure sugar and salt for each package and added it to the bag. Then I added black pepper to one bag, sweet and smokey seasoning to another and Cajun seasoning to the last one. I will either have 9 pounds of mistake or 9 pounds of yum
