    Dang work pitch-in

    I agree,, though sadly,, lil MES is gonna be filled with someone else's PP.  I have told Donna/wife that I will smoke something whenever she wants.  Though wives sometimes just dont ask for anything.  If Maverick and AMNPS works like last time,, I dont have to sit and watch it constantly, the...

    Christmas in October

    :) Merry Christmas. I did similiar,, Maverick, AMNPS n plenty of pellets to do a dozen smokes. Hohohoho,, first run turned out with great results,, little scary sitting there watching the remote temp instead of stabbing meat every couple hours :)  I need more practice on it,, gonna do 2 8#'s...

    Dang work pitch-in

    :)  suppose it wouldnt be too bad if I just said that I smoke only on the weekends, still makes me nervous when it is going all night and I cant stay up to watch it.  Another test of the AMNPS n vent mods I guess, this time a full tray of pellets, 8 hours of perfect smoke should be fine for flavor.

    Dang work pitch-in

    The pulled pork I did for the pitch-in was such a success that I am now getting requests to do more for individuals.  I am still new at this and it makes me nervous.  How the heck do I say no to them.  I have agreed to do just one, she wants on Sat by 11am for sons Bday party.  She is going to...

    Questions on the MES 30 & 40

    My question would be does she like sausage ?  My wife loves pulled pork and the first one I ever did according to her was the best she ever tasted.  My fault is that I didnt keep rub recepie,, so have no clue what I did. Butt........ the first fatty I did,, she loved and now she comes up with...

    HoHOHO,, YeeHaww, Merry Xmas

    Thanks Al,, bark was perfect,, crusty n spicey the way I like it.  Though I thought the pork was a little mushy,, I prefer more chewy.  The cooler worked great,, even after 2.5 hours of resting, it was too hot for me to pull it.  That big piece of bark in top left of pic, fatty  but crusty,, no...

    Questions on the MES 30 & 40

    I have to agree with Al.  I have an older MES 30,, it has no vents and I couldnt get a good smoke on it, unless it was cold enough outside.  I have also found that 3 racks is just not enough sometimes.  I just got my AMNPS and from 1 pork butt run,, it outperforms the standard wood chip tray by...

    Grrrr did some junk thighs

    I have just done a couple split whole chickens so still new.  I have found that 225 is best temp for me,, it takes a little longer but skin ends up crispy.  The longer cook time also gives the rub more time to soak in.  As long as I go for proper IT temp, I seem to do okay.  My neighbors keep...
