    Smoked Pork Tenderloin (Q-VUE)

    I'm interested in how your coffee rub turned out. I've just used near the last of my existing rub on some pork chops and have to mix up a new batch.

    Pork Shoulder for pulled pork - Brine or no brine?

    So after about ten and a half hours I pulled it from the smoker as it was falling off the bone and starting to dry out. It was only 193, but I didn't want it to dry out more. Next time I'll foil during the plateau. I foiled, wrapped in a towel, and put in a cooler for another couple hours...

    MES Leaking Door Seal

    IMAG0430.jpg (2,096k. jpg file)So I noticed the other day some stains at the bottom of my new mes. Today I'm doing my first real smoke and I saw water running down the front left leg. I put some foil beneath it and after a couple of hours have the attached. Is this something that I can fix by...

    Pork Shoulder for pulled pork - Brine or no brine?

    Thanks everyone. I deskinned and trimmed the fat on my shoulder this morning (thing was super fatty) and coated it with some mustard and a rub. 24 hours in the fridge and smoke it tomorrow. Hopefully it turns out. I'm smoking on the middle rack with a pan on the bottom rack to catch the...

    Pork Shoulder for pulled pork - Brine or no brine?

    So I'm about to try my first pulled pork in a smoker. Using a 4.5 lbs pork shoulder in my MES 30". I've made pulled pork many times in a slow cooker but never in the smoker. I've been looking online and have been seeing some conflicting ideas on whether it should be brined or not. About half...

    Good to know the temp is not just something wrong with mine. I'm a little disappointed though in the difference. I cooked up sausages in it tonight and if I didn't have two thermometers in there I would have had some (slightly) undercooked pork. I only really noticed the door tonight so...

    So I've been finding a few issues with mine so far. The door isn't sealing, but I understand there's a way to try and fix that I just haven't done it yet. The remote keeps messing up - disconnecting, turning off the smoker and itself. I am not going out of range. I'm like ten feet away when...

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    So after seasoning it I threw in some pork chops and a couple sausages - couldn't resist the urge. The chops weren't brined and everything cooked too fast so the smoke flavour was pretty light but everything seemed to work ok. I'm surprised that the remote doesn't update unless you hit a...

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    Home depot sells the 30" 2.5 with leg kit for $400. They just added yesterday the 30" 2.5 with no leg kit for $330. They are limited quantities, in store only no shipping to store, and not going on sale anytime soon. So, yeah, even if they do charge HST it's ok:). Plus, no RF remote just...

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    OK then. If guess we will wait and see what the final bill will be. The other stuff I've had over the border went through Canada post so they charged me when they dropped it off, I just assumed it would be the same with Fedex. I'm about 45 from the border as well. I've used the Kinek service...

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    Why would their be HST charges on the value? My (limited) understanding and experience is that custom duties are all that would be charged. I've never had HST added to US purchases before. Adding HST would make this not nearly as good a deal but still slightly cheaper than best case scenario...

    Wow, I can't believe it, it showed up today. That's the fastest I've ever had anything sent cross border. No brokerage fees or additional taxes. Total cost was $294 CAD ($231 USD). Total savings of $160 vs buying in store.
