    Extreme cold and windy weather questions

    I keep my top vent open on my MES and I don't' have issues smoking in cold temps. I did a pork shoulder Monday in the single-digits (farenehight) and it held temps beautifully. I like the windy conditions because it disperses the smoke for me as it comes out of the smoker.

    Smoking baon in freezing temps?

    I'm wondering if anybody has done this. I hope to be curing a belly tomorrow or next week which may put my smoking time into freezing temperatures. I have never done a belly in the winter like this. Do you think it will take on the smoke being frozen? The trend looks like it won't be in the...

    Amazen or other brand tube smokers?

    I never found a good use for the tube (too much and inconsistent smoke) but I have two of each type of maze from A-Maze-N

    Amns question

    I put mine on the far bottom left. under the water pan (if your has it). I take my pan out so it sits under the hole. I keep my loader out of the smoker. Actually, I'm not sure where it is or if I still have it.

    Questions about smoking fresh sausage

    I will certainly try that. This sausage is fresh, made the day before I smoke it so no cure.

    Questions about smoking fresh sausage

    I smoke store-bought sausages once in a while. Now, I get mine at a local butcher where I know the meat is of great quality. My only issue is the toughening of the casing.

    Chuck roast - thoughts on what went wrong?

    I've never been a fan of pot roast.  Maybe my mother's was worse than most but I got turned off to it at an early age.  I need to give it a go sometime.

    Chuck roast - thoughts on what went wrong?

    I see a lot of people, most actually, treat it as a steak.  I never thought of that; I always pulled it.  My plan is to steak it next time.

    Chuck roast - thoughts on what went wrong?

    I reheated the beef in a pan with a bit of the juice and it was FANTASTIC.  My wife and I agreed it was like a new hunk of meat.  I have never seen such a transformation on the reheat but then again I have never cooked something that dry.  Maybe that is the secret, make it dry so the leftovers...

    Chuck roast - thoughts on what went wrong?

    I thought of the grill but I wanted some smoke flavor.  It was perfect out of the bath.  As I said above, I think the issue is as you stated, the SV process removed too much liquid.

    Chuck roast - thoughts on what went wrong?

    I was thinking of smoking first but I thought I'd try this way first.  I agree with Bear, the SV removed too much liquid.  I'll be trying it again next weekend.

    Chuck roast - thoughts on what went wrong?

    I did a chuck roast at 135 for 24 hours then I smoked it at 220 for three hours.  When I took it out of the bath it almost fell apart.  I dried it and put it in the smoker.  After the three hours, the beef was a bit dry.  I usually smoke the roast sans water pan, at 240, for 6-8 hours without...

    Sous vide bowls

    No, the microwave was all right.  I think she  just didn't use enough or any cooking spray, so it stuck.  We tried the microwave for cleaning, but the stuck on bits were at the top, so I assume that is why it didn't work.  We even tried putting a cover on the bowl, in the microwave, and that...

    Sous vide bowls

    We had somebody watch our house for a few days.  While the person was here, they cooked eggs in our bowls in my microwave and didn't clean them.  So, we came home to four bowls with stuck on egg.  We tried and tried to get it off the bowls, but we weren't able to accomplish it.  We tried soaking...
