    AMNPS will not stay lit in my MES 30

    Gang, I don't really have a dog in this fight but may I suggest that someone puts together a detailed video on how to start and use the AMNPS. Something simple without any technical terms that experienced folks will grasp. I've had my AMNPS for a few years and I'll admit, at times, I still...

    Can I use my WSM as a fire pit?

    Funny, about a year ago, I was searching Craiglist pretty hard for a WSM.  Someone in the area was selling one but it was extremely dirty and rusted.  Dude wanted $250 for it. That's shocking but that's the free enterprise.

    Can I use my WSM as a fire pit?

    Thanks gang.  TurnandBurn, I appreciate the links.  The only problem is, those three are pretty far out from me.  I actually saw a nice one for about $100 at Walmart.

    Can I use my WSM as a fire pit?

    Dave, as always, you give good advice.  I'm not going to risk my WSM.  I'll just spend the cash and buy a dedicated fire pit.

    Can I use my WSM as a fire pit?

    This is a serious question.  With Fall here and winter soon approaching, I've always wanted to buy a fire pit to enjoy in my yard.  The smell of burning wood is beautiful to me and my better half.  But my patio isn't that large and I already have 2 MES;s; a gas smoker and my WSM there.  I really...

    venting about burnt ends and commercialism

    First off, this is just me venting... I've posted several times how disappointed I've been with my brisket. In my opinion, it's never been spot on. I'm here in Charlotte, N.C., which is not known for brisket but pulled pork. So, over the weekend, my better half and I went to a BBQ joint...

    Need advice on defrosting a Smithfield ham

    Hi gang, On Saturday, I have to attend a funeral.  I'm going to prepare a ham for the dinner.  I've had a Smithfield ham in my freezer since Thanksgiving and just pulled it out yesterday (Sunday). Here's the dilemmas: 1 - The package says to use by February, 2013.  This is not September...

    Point vs. Flat

    I agree about the butts. My local Costco only sells boneless. I learned on bone-in and never tried boneless. Surprisingly, the boneless comes, 2 in a pack, they look very good and the price is reasonable. But I don't want to step away from something that I've perfected.

    Point vs. Flat

    In Charlotte, Costco sells quality meat but I'm disappointed with the small cuts of flat that they sell. The flat incredibly thin (and flat) with a huge price attached to it. There are a few butchers in town but what they're asking for a brisket is a crime. I called one so-called specialty...

    Point vs. Flat

    Wow, that's beautiful!!! My local Costco only sells flats (and they're really thin and expensive).  My local Walmart sells either huge full packers or from time to time, points.  Generally, I'm smoking for me and my girl so a 14lbs packer is over kill.  And, until I get confident in brisket...

    Point vs. Flat

    Hey gang,  I still here struggling with briskets.  I don't know why I'm not getting it.  Pork butt, pork ribs, london broil, turkey legs, turkey wings, turkey legs, chicken, pork loin--I rock in those areas. But dang brisket, I can't do it.  Anyway, folks with serious experience, if you...

    8 1/2 Lb Brisket

    From what you described on the brisket, I can't tell what might have went wrong. But, if you're not fully experienced with smoking, I wouldn't suggest smoking 2 meats at the same time. I've been doing ribs for many of years and I've learned for me, 225* is not the right temperature.  For me...

    8 1/2 Lb Brisket

    Each piece of meat is different adn there are other factors which can affect the temperature such as outside weather temperature and if it's a windy day. By the way, I hope you're not considering 170* for a brisket to be done!  Brisket generally is smoked to 200*

    Today just wasn't meant to be

    I didn't know if you were asking for advice or help. It was an open ended post. I didn't know where you were going. Sorry!

    Dieing to use my new wsm

    First of all, do you know how to use the WSM?  I'm asking, not judging.  In order to make good Que, you have to master the equipment.  Learning the temperature, guages, quantity of charcoal, cooking methods...all these takes time. If you're a fan of Gary Wiviott, author of Low & Slow, he...

    I like big butts, and I cannot lie.

    Wow, I just spewed coffee all over my keyboard. I obviously was thinking about something else when I read the title of your thread. And, it title brought me back to the 90's (Sir Mix-Alot)

    Sunday Turkey And First Time to Try the AMNPS

    Well, I couldn't find any Turkey's or Breast.  Friday nights are reserved for Harley's, Whiskey and beer.  I picked up a nice brisket to smoke instead. Outside of Thanksgiving, finding Turkey's in Charlotte is really difficult. Right now, I'm trying to decide if I wanna do my brisket in my...
