    PRE - THANKSGIVING BRISKET

    Gary, Have you ever smoked a Brisket and NOT experienced the stall? Reason I ask, I just smoked up a brisket yesterday, an 11 pounder with good marbling, and reached 205 deg. in roughly 7.5 hours with little to no stall. I had my MES 40 running consistent at 220-240 deg the entire time. I...

    Bacon Recipes?

    Just getting into this bacon thing, I have experimented on buck board bacon a couple times as to not waste a good pork belly on my first try.  One was brown sugar and maple, another was brown sugar and cracked black pepper, and the last was just brown sugar. I have to say the three buck board...

    Dave, no matter how many trees are available you will always need more, it's an addiction.

    Looks like mother nature is going to provide us maplers here in Michigan with one more week of collecting. Sure has been an interesting season with all the warm spells and then cold spells. It feels and looks more like Christmas than it does Spring here in Michigan today, 25 degrees and snowing...

    Sounds like your season is off and running. Wish I could say the same thing here. I was watching the weather last week and figured on taping end of next week but the way it looks now it may be off for another two-three weeks. Predicting a high of 8 on Saturday

    MP4S, your operation there is much much larger than anything I am into. My pan is about the size of the pan in the middle, I am boiling off about 8 gallons an hour and to be honest that's enough for me. To go bigger would cost me $$$. Your pre-heater is a big advantage over mine, no pre-heater...

    Home made maple syrup.... MONEY 2-26-16

    arkage82, if you would prefer a thicker syrup try going a couple degrees past optimal temp. Assuming your at the 219.5 deg mark for "pure Maple syrup" try taking up to 220.5 - 221 even 221.5 will be ok with no sugar crystalization. We prefer a thicker syrup and bring ours to 221-221.5 deg on the...

    This has also been my experience. We gained access to a neighbors maple grove and our first 100 gallons last year (try to run 100 gallon patches) produced some of the finest we have ever made. The layers of flavor were endless and something I hope to repeat this year.

    Never heard of Hickory. I know people tap Black Walnut but I have never had luck at with couple trees I have access to. I have had Birch Syrup and it tasted the same as Maple and much much more work. I will stick to my Maples.

    Flat vs Packer

    You could try injecting it with something simple such as a  mixture of apple juice/water or there are many other injections on this site. When I inject it I do it the night before. As many others have said, when you reach 160, throw it in a pan with some broth and foil it, no need to smoke after...
