    Yet another rib question...

    I haven't done it, but I would treat it the same way as I would the ribs -- rub 'em up and smoke 'em at the same time.

    Brisket ?'s

    I'm thinking about smoking my first brisket this weekend...so much so that I just picked up a decent-sized packer from the store yesterday. I've read many of the posts here about how to smoke the brisket, but do have one question that I haven't been able to find the answer to.  Once I pull the...

    Oven or smoker first?

    From what I know (which isn't very much), you'll get your best/most flavor from smoke when the meat is under 140* F.  Once the meat reaches 140*, smoke no longer adds any benefit. So - smoke first, oven second.

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    I'm interested in how it works out...I have a MES 30" as well and was going to order the 6"x6" AMNS today, but think I'll wait to see if the custom-designed one is better!

    HELP!

    In order to pull a butt or shoulder, you need to get the internal temp up to 200*-205*.  At that temp, the meat should practically melt apart.

    MES and Pork Shoulder/Butt

    MES 30" question

    I have the new-style MES with the smaller chip loader/chip tray, so I think a cup of chips would be overkill. I will pay a little closer attention to it the next time I use it, but I remember only putting a few chips in (probably 1/3 of the chip loader full) and letting it go for 45 minutes...

    MES 30" question

    I've read a few posts on here concerning the MES not turning the wood chips to ash in the chip tray. My question is - should my chips be turning to ash, or is having the chips just turn black (basically charcoal) ok?

    Oops...

    I smoked some BB ribs over the weekend (yeah, I know -- no pics, didn't happen). Anyway, I took some of the leftovers to work today, but forgot to put the rest of them back in the fridge. They sat out on the counter all day -- should I toss them?

    Baby Back Ribs 2-2.5-.5

    What's the 2-2.5-.5 for? I'm assuming it's a 2 hour smoke, then 2.5 hours in foil, then .5 hours out of foil to finish?

    A Masterbuilt Electric Smoker Question

    I just bought that one as well...hoping to possibly break it in this weekend.

    New SD Smoker

    Just thought I'd drop in with a quick "Hi" and a brief introduction. Just picked up my first smoker last weekend (MES 30" -- on sale from Cabela's). Looking forward to smoking all sorts of things, but I first need to finish some things on the honey-do list. The smoker was sort of an early...

    Brand new memeber complaining already

    I too had problems with this -- it probably took me 20-30 refreshes to find one that I could read. Glad to hear that some different options are being looked at.
