MES 30 MAILBOX MOD HELP!
Does the mailbox get hot at all? I'm going to do this soon and I am trying to figure out the best place to put it, My smoker stand is wood. I was thinking maybe just set it on a brick to keep it away from combustibles?- whatamess

Using A Water Pan For Temperature Control
If you're running +/- 6* in an electric you're doing well that's not bad at all I'm not sure how much more it would improve by adding water. You are always going to get swings that is the nature of electric heat. As Bear said above, I use sand in my water bowl and I am happy with 5* swings above...- whatamess

What do you think of this rub?
That makes a huge batch too, you could easily quarter that recipe for a test and still have about 3 cups of rub, then you're not wasting so much if you don't like it. Test it out and let us know.- whatamess

What do you think of this rub?
Looks too hot and salty for me, I would think that would be a bit overpowering. I want to taste the meat too.- whatamess

My wife's great idea
It was a cooler day yesterday starting temps in the smoker was 65*, it went up to 70* in half an hour and I had three ice packs wrapped in foil in there to try and keep it cool. I have to do the mailbox mod soon its too hot to do cheese properly now.- whatamess

jack daniels wood chips help
I have a 30" MES, and I use the JD chips occasionally for short smokes. I've never had that happen they seem to smolder just fine for me. When I first start with them, I will put only maybe 8-10 small chips in, let them go for 20 minutes then the next load L'll put a few more in as there is...- whatamess

My wife's great idea
So my wife brings a bag of cheddar cheese curds home yesterday afternoon and says she wants pulled pork poutine. Well I can't argue with a request like that. While I was heating up some leftover frozen pulled pork I tossed some curds into the MES with pecan pellets in the AMNPS and smoked for...- whatamess

How long does it take to smoke two 4-pound butts
Looks great. I like to keep that "smoked in" look, I don't clean my smoker. Grates yes I wash the big chunks off in the sink after don't the smoke. I leave the walls nice and seasoned. If you get a big puddle of grease in the bottom or something yes clean that up. -
Rib smell?
Never experienced this, was it in vac seal you mean? If it smells that bad BEFORE you cook it, what will the wife say about the smells from you AFTER you eat it? If it was me and I was questioning it, I wouldn't risk it.- whatamess

Ribs and ABT's today with a side of beans
Couple racks of spares in today and ABT's for an appetizer before the main event. Dutch's Wicked Beans going in soon once I pull the ribs to foil in about 15 mins. And the ABT's coming out to devour. Mmmmm mmm good. -
3-2-1 ribs going ok so far
Brown sugar, butter and a more rub is my favourite -
How long does it take to smoke two 4-pound butts
I take it out when I pull the pork. Maybe there is a scientific reason to leave it in like it acts as a heat sink but my pork is usually wrapped in foil by the time it's cooler time so I can't get to it anyways.
