    BLT CLUB (With a Special Side)

    Looks scrumptious though I would prefer a little toasting on the bread.

    best first time meat

    I was thinking that it's cool that you are using a Ford grill but ... if you went with a government motors grill you could save money on fuel and just burn our inflated dollars! Great food on the cheap!

    cleaning your mes 30?

    Yes Karl, but with real practice in the field, I think you will come to agree that some warm soapy water used with a wash cloth or scrubby works best and is not damaging to your smoker.

    MMMMM.....BEER.

    As much as I drink the stuff I sure need to learn how to make it. The interest in the subject is high! Burp.

    Sirloin & New Gadgets = Delicious Cheap Grilled Beef

    I just thought I would chime in with some advice about that tenderizing gizmo that might seem silly to you but for me it wasn't so obvious. The unit I have is labeled Deni and has 16 blades. Anyway, the advice is to not use it on a plate or any such hard surface. Use it only on a cutting board...

    BIG brisket question

    I've only done a couple so far but my last one was a 12 pounder that I couldn't fit in my MES 30 so I cut it in half. The small end came out in about 12 - 13 hours and the big end went for 16 and a half.

    MES 40 Temp Problems

    I would like to hear about how this resolves as well. I wonder if you might be having problems with the terminal connections like many MES owners have run into. On the bright side if that is the problem it's easy to fix.

    Smoking Brisket now

    I just cooked my second brisket a couple days ago and it stalled for a long time several places so it seems normal to me. I foiled in the mid 170s and took it to 195* and then put them in it cooler with towels to rest for a few hours. This time around it was a great success! Moist, juicy, and...

    I QUIT !!!

    Some people can just quit like that. For others it's not so easy. When I was a young guy I smoked Camel straights (loved them) and dipped snuff. Since I was doing both I knew I was not doing my health any good and decided to stop the dipping since I was chasing the girls around and spitting the...

    Africanmeat beat me to it but I'd eat the one you dropped in a heartbeat! So much porky love in a heap there! I know you guys had a great time!

    7 Bone Chuck Roast

    You might have just forced me to do one all the way to pulling done-ness. I love these roasts but I take them out long before this point. I like them pink inside but there is no arguing that the pictures of your pulled 7-bone don't look moist and scrumptious!

    my build and first smoke

    That brisket looks really juicy! I'm trying again now on my second effort with one that went in at 6:00 this morning. I sure hope I can do it as nice as yours. Great job!

    First time roast beef

    Sure looks good. How was the texture? Was it chewy? I've been thinking about trying one but have been reading that they can be a bit tough. Even if they are I could slice it thin with my slicer and probably get past that.

    Smoked Burgers

    All the info these days tells folks to cook them to those high temps. I guess I'm a risk taker because I love nice rare burgers. What I do is start out with two big burgers (Cosco meat) and I cut them in half to make four smaller burgers. Then I add a sprinkle of rub to the tops of all of them...
