    Smoked Prime Rib

    Thanks Bear. It turned out very nice I am pleased with it. Maybe a bit overdone for me, but it was perfect for my wife. It was a small sacrifice to keep her happy.

    Smoked Prime Rib

    I must also add this was the first smoke since I added the mailbox mod yesterday and I am so impressed. Wish I did it sooner. I normally burn almost a full tray when the AMNPS was in the smoker. Really nice TBS and I didn't have to battle jumped rows in the tray. What a treat!

    Snuck a peak looking good at 108IT @ 3.5 hours. . Going a bit quicker than I figured might have to quit yard work to eat sooner. :)

    Smoked Prime Rib

    Smoking my first prime rib today based pretty much on Bearcarver's method with ChefJimmyJ's au jus. The meat. 7.2 pounder I have had in the freezer since I stocked up when it was on sale for 3.99/lb. I picked up 4 then, this was the smallest of the bunch. Dijon mustard and SPOG with fresh...

    MES 30 MAILBOX MOD HELP!

    Nightrod and Mr. DaveOmak thanks for your help. I drilled 3 x 1/2" holes in the door and it drafts perfect now without heat.

    MES 30 MAILBOX MOD HELP!

    Mine I got from Lowe's it is galv steel I'm pretty sure, but I'm not that worried.  If the mailbox is exceeding 700* to start vapourizing zinc I've got worse problems.  The ducting is galv too, its not touching food or getting seriously hot so me personally, I'm not concerned, but Lowes or HD...

    MES 30 MAILBOX MOD HELP!

    Yep, I missed drilling the door hole.  The box is below the chip loader hole, I tried to keep the flex pipe as short as possible, its less than 18" long and it does make a smooth upsweeping 90 degree turn into the smoker.  I think my problem was air flow. I'm going to drill two or three like...

    MES 30 MAILBOX MOD HELP!

    Did you drill holes in your door?  Mine only has 4 small screw holes in the floor.  I'll try to get pics tonight.

    MES 30 MAILBOX MOD HELP!

    Just to follow-up I got my mailbox all set up last night and just experimented a bit on an empty smoker.  The top of the box right over the spot that is burning in the tray gets pretty warm, but I could still rest my hand on it for 10+ seconds.  The bottom stays cool to the touch, and the sides...

    JJ's au jus questions

    Well I set up the mailbox mod tonight so I'm not worried about excess moisture anymore. I think I will still bring the liquid to a summer before putting it in the smoker though.

    JJ's au jus questions

    I'm doing a prime rib this weekend for Father's Day and I want to make ChefJJ's au jus, wondering if 6 cups of liquid in the smoker is going to give me problems with keeping AMNPS lit?  I have never used water in the smoker yet.  Does anyone heat the broth before dumping in pan in the smoker to...
