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...
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.
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!
I just smoked an 8# butt in my MES over the weekend, and this is how I went about it...
the night before I put my rub on and also injected it with a mixture of water/rubpreheated the MES for an hour at 275*, while taking the butt out of the fridge and letting it sit on the counteradded some...
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...
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?
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?
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...
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.
