    Just about maxed out the 560

    Loin is off. Not to bad looking. The smell coming off this thing is amazing tho. I hope I didn’t dry it to much. I think the constant dripping from above should have keep it good. Second guessing myself but what’s done is done now.

    Just about maxed out the 560

    I don’t normally do loins to pull. For me loins are to be made into 1 1/2 - 2” chops. The only time i pulled one was a friend who bought and requested it when I was running and had spare space on the smoker. It turned out pretty good. This time I figured I’d try to throw a little in. It fits...

    Just about maxed out the 560

    Thanks. I don’t wrap my butts. I just let them go. I love the bark. I’ve had only done the loin pulled once before and I wrapped it. Where this is below and the other is dripping down on it I’m not sure what to do. It’s at the temp I would wrap it at but it’s not looking dry. Anyone have thoughts?

    Just about maxed out the 560

    So 35 lbs is probably close to the maximum of pork that can be fit on the Masterbuilt 560 the way I like to cook it. I think I could sneak in about 5 more pounds but I’m already not stoked about my airflow. This is the first time I’ve really pushed what I can fit on. I got the three butts...

    LAZY,,, is it just me?

    I had an offset for years. When I got my MES I did like you a lot of the time. It was just easier especially in the winter or a cold rain. Keeping temp in the offset was just too much work. I now have a Masterbuilt Gravity Series. I’m in love with it. All the ease of the electric and the flavor...

    Filled up the 560

    No complaints from the family or on my end. The only problem I’m having is deciding if I want more stealhead or lamb.

    Filled up the 560

    Loaded down the grill. Two racks of baby backs, some trout, a rack of lamb, and a little bit of stealhead.

    Masterbuilt 20070311 Smoker

    I’m not sure. I don’t know much about the electrical side of things. I know some people have built new controllers with raspberry pi’s or similar. They have done a lot of figuring out what all the wires control. Hopefully one of them will chime in. I know if you can get it up and running it will...

    Pit Boss Electric smoker

    There is a mod called the mailbox mod for electric smokers. It should work out great for you. There is a thread in electric smokers about how to make one with a popcorn tin. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/mailbox-popcorn-mod-with-a-small-twist.258297/ I’m not sure how to link to it...

    Playing around with the camera.

    Good to see a fellow Nikon user. Sorry about the sensor trouble. I know this weekend some people have the z5 on sale. I look at the new cameras every so often but I’m still shooting on my D90 from 2008. It cost me a bit getting it back in college but I think I’ve got a pretty good return on the...

    Thoughts, recommendations and suggestions

    I agree. I have a Masterbuilt 560 and I think it’s just what your looking for. Nice size and so easy to use. Such great flavor from the charcoal and wood.

    Just got a new CharGriller 980

    Welcome from wild and wonderful. I have a Masterbuilt gravity series. I can’t tell you about your grill in particular but the gravity feed design is great. It’s easy to use and vary versatile. I’ve done everything from low and slow like ribs and smoked salmon to reverse searing and pizza and...

    Little emotional

    I’m a little emotional today. I just passed my MBES on to my baby brother. I’ve got my gravity series now and don’t really need to cook more than I can fit on it. If I do I can always barrow it back. It gave me a good decade. Hopefully it will give him the same. The only smoker he’s used so far...

    Second time making moose jerky

    That’s great that you can get out there and be around them enough to speak their language. I am always in aw when I see one. Just the size of them. Of course it’s probably like squirrel or deer around here. You get so used to them just being around. If I make it up to Maine any time soon maybe...

    Made my first pizza in four years.

    Pineapple belongs on pizza sir. 😁 Funny you mention pepperoni. I’ve only cured bacon and pastrami so far but I have a broke down refrigerator from a restaurant that I plan on turning into a curing chamber to do salami, pepperoni and the like.

    Made my first pizza in four years.

    I have the gravity series 560. I ran it at 555. I put the stone on before I lit the grill. It was up to temp by the time I assembled my pizza. I used parchment paper because I don’t have a pizza paddle. The paper worked out just fine. Easy to put on the stone and easy to remove. It went for 11...

    Made my first pizza in four years.

    It’s a skill you don’t really lose. Not useful in any other situation but still a skill that sticks with you. The sauce is definitely going to be made next time. I just wanted to keep it simple for the test run. Honestly I also didn’t know the store bought would be that bad either. Normally I...
