    Brisket Reheat

    MES 40 Cleaning

    I am just interested in the glass.  I have been told you never want to clean the whole thing because you want the smoker to be "seasoned". Am I missing something?

    Pork Baby Backs - 2nd attempt

    Great advice. I will definitely try the mop recipe to see if there is a difference.  I did put them in the oven with the foil/apple juice mixture.  Thought that would prevent them from drying out.  Could I have OVER cooked them?
