    Smoking time with a Masterbuilt 30" electric

    I use an aftermarket wireless temp probe, which is apparently the problem.  It's a "Grilling Traditions", and I just checked it in my oven.  Oven got to 200, the temp read 277...  Ok, that sucks.  Guess I'm gonna have to spring for a good one.  When using my charcoal horizontal offset with a...

    Smoking time with a Masterbuilt 30" electric

    I'm finding that my meat hits target temp in less time than recipes call for.  If I'm smoking a packer and want 12 hours, I'm getting to temp after 7-8 hours.  This effects both tenderness and smoke time.  Anyone else have this issue?  I've tried reducing the smoker's temp, which seems to work...

    First Turkey

    I usually smoke a 12#-er at about 230 degrees.  Get about 4 hours of smoke on it.  For crisp skin, I let the IT get to 145, then move it to the grill at 350+ until the IT gets to 165.

    Smoked Meatloaf...

    Used Abi's recipe, wood was cherry, & it was delicious!!!  I did have a slight dysfunction.  I formed my loaf 3" high, but once I put it in it flattened out to about 2".  I also had my smoker at 250, so it only took right at 2 hours to reach 160.  I chanced it and left it in 30 more minutes to...

    Cleaning your Masterbuilt Digital Smoker...

    Right.  I just wipe 'em to get any grease off, not to remove the carbon build up.  Don't mess with that unless it starts to flake and curl up, I'll take that off so it doesn't drop on the meat.  My charcoal grill has probably 1/4 inch!

    Cleaning your Masterbuilt Digital Smoker...

    I'm sure this has been covered before.  Wondering how y'all are doing it.  I remove my racks, water pan, grease tray, and drip pan, clean 'em outside first, then run 'em through the dishwasher.  I wipe down the inside of the smoker with dry paper towels, and do a wet-dry paper towel over the...

    Burnt ends...

    Sorry about no picture!  I now realize that is a cardinal sin...  won't happen again!  Ok, I procured 2 3.5 lb chuck roasts from Best Meats in Temple, Texas.  It's a bbq place that also sells meat.  Best meat around these parts.  put 'em in a Rubbermaid container, poured a cup of Worcestershire...

    Burnt ends...

    Did Jeff's recipe for chuck burnt ends this last Saturday for my grand daughter's birthday.  Used my rub and sauce, and they turned out GREAT!!!  Had 6 pounds when finished, 7 "diners", and they vanished!  I was hoping some would be left for Sunday...  That'll be a new staple to my repertoire...
