    Noob brisket question..

    Its 4:20 where Im at, its been on for 9 hours and its still only at 184. when I came home from work at 1, it was at 180, so its only gained 4 degrees in 3 hours. I need it to be ready in about 2 hours. Should I just stick it thru as it could bust thru the stall and still reach 200 in 2 hours? or...

    Noob brisket question..

    By the time I got home at 1pm, it was already at 180, so I figured there wasnt much a reason to wrap it at that point. As far as checking for it to be done, wont all that poking it release the juices on the inside?

    Noob brisket question..

    I woke up way too early for a Saturday and got the brisket in the smoker at 7:20am, just enough time for me to take a shower and get to work. I trimmed a little of the fat layer off, but left most of it to try and retain moisture. I thought about injecting it, and even bought the needle for it...

    Noob brisket question..

    So I just went to the store over lunch and picked up a 5lb flat. I plan on smoking at 225, and want it to be ready at 6pm tomorrow (saturday). I work from 8am to noon saturday. Should I put it on tonight at midnight? or Tomorrow at 7am? Ive read greatly varying estimated cooking times. I just...

    Noob brisket question..

    Thanks for the tips! I think I have a handle on what I want to do, but still shopping for the meat. I find that a while packer is cheaper by the point than a brisket flat (2x the price!). But if I buy the packer and smoke it all together, wont the flat be done before the point will since the...

    Does anyone have a knockoff or copycat recipe for Dickey's original BBQ sauce?

    Noob brisket question..

    Sounds good actually. I never really want anything I smoke to be "fall apart tender" but when it comes to brisket, I want it to fall apart, so whatever I need to do to make it the most tender would be ideal. When you wrapped yours, did you put it in an aluminum pan, add the broth, then cover it...

    Noob brisket question..

    I love smoking meats, but always stick to pork butts, ribs (spares and babyback) and riblets. I tried a brisket once years ago and was left wondering why I spent so much money on the meat when ribs taste much better. I want to give it another shot. I know there is the flat and the point, my...

    Best way to reheat 3 racks of baby backs?

    Update: I put them on a pan and covered with foil, baked for 20 mins @350 and then took off the foil for 10 more mins. they were warm but not hot, ppl wanted to eat em once they saw them. I think they would be optimal to heat them covered for 30 mins before removing the foil for another 10...

    Best way to reheat 3 racks of baby backs?

    I smoked up 3 racks of baby backs yesterday with the intention of reheating them tonight for company. I taste tested a couple of ribs last night, they were damn near perfect, and I want to get them as close to that as possible. Normally I reheat ribs in my Nuwave, but I can only fit a few ribs...

    Best wireless thermometer for the buck?

    Im using an MES 30", I just set the temp and it keeps it where it needs to be. That smoker also comes with an internal meat probe that I generally dont use for meat, I just let it sit in there and use it to check the temp of the smoker.

    Best wireless thermometer for the buck?

    Hey guys, I just ordered the TP-07 and the TP03 (instant thermometer) from the iTronics store. Once it took off the 20% discount, the total was $37 and some change, shipping was free! Cant beat that!

    Best wireless thermometer for the buck?

    The TP08 isnt $35 anymore, it looks like $45 on amazon and I dont think I need the dual probes on it. The TP07 looks like it might be what I meed and its less than $35. I also see a TP-11 that looks like it might do the trick also and its even cheaper. Anyone have experience with either? Ill...

    Best wireless thermometer for the buck?

    Thanks for the fast reply. I was looking at the thermopros just now. It looks like the TP-20 is the hot new item, but its a little more than I was looking to spend, plus I dont need dual probes. So do you have any expereince with some of the single probe models? The main thing I need it to do it...

    Mailbox mod burnt up, need new one - suggestions pls?

    I have a 30" MES Gen 2 smoker that I have been using with the Amazn pellet tray and mailbox mod. I did a smoke of 3 racks of ribs last weekend, and as usual I nuked the pellets before smoking them (1 minute at a time, stir and repeat for a total of 3 times), then lit them and placed the tray at...

    Anyone have a wiring diagram for a MES?

    I have model # 20070910 and one day it quit heating up. It would turn on, but no juice. After replacing the heating element with no improvement, I went to change the thermostat sensor. I ordered the part, and took the smoker apart but then got sidetracked.. So I still have the new part, but I...
