    Q-view of my first smoke

    I did this and didn't prepare much at all for it. Just got my MES yesterday and couldn't wait to use it. My next smoke will use more rubs and recipes. I'm not sure how this will turn out, but I'll let you know. These are very basic pictures, but I like to see other pics so I'll post a few of my...

    first time smoking a chicken...need help!

    My next question seems like I might have a problem. I was planning on cooking some ribs with my chicken. Ribs look like they cook at about 225. If chicken needs to be at 275-300, is there a decent way to cook ribs with the chicken?

    first time smoking a chicken...need help!

    Skin is ok. I don't want chewy skin though, so sounds like I'll be cooking at 275.

    first time smoking a chicken...need help!

    Jeff's chart show's cooking whole chickens at 250. Is 275 better? http://www.wyntk.us/food/smoking-tim...eratures.shtml

    first time smoking a chicken...need help!

    Thanks. If I'm going to throw some sausage on too, how do I go about doing that? I'm not going to make fatties for now - just the regular sausage to see how it does. There's not much info I can find on sausage so far. What temp should it cook at at how do you know when to pull it off?

    problem with meat thermometer remote

    I'll try that again. If I want to only use this to see the current temp of the water (or meat), shouldn't I be able to do this without setting min/max temps, timers, etc? I simply want to use it as a thermometer, at least for now.

    problem with meat thermometer remote

    I just tried to test my thermometer. Boiled water and put both probes in the boiling water. The base unit registered right at 212-214 for both probes. The remote unit isn't showing any temps. I've never used one of these before, so I'm probably doing something wrong. The remote unit comes set...

    Masterbuilt electric smoker question

    I'll just chop up the chunks into smaller pieces since I have two bags of them. Some chunks fit without splitting them. Burned off the factory smell last night, then added two chunks of apple wood. The flavor was all over the neighborhood and smelled great. I think I'll only cook one or two...

    Masterbuilt electric smoker question

    This will probably seem like a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. We were burning the new off our MES tonight. Once we heated up the inside for about 2 hours, we decided to drop the temp to about 220 and add a couple wood chunks. I ordered a few small bags. On the right of the smoker is the...

    Thanks Ritchie and devil for the advice. I did the 5 day course, but it wouldn't hurt if I read it again!

    Need advice on new smoker

    The wood chunks will flame up in an electric smoker?

    Need advice on new smoker

    My dad just opened the Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse I got him for Christmas. I know you have to let it burn for a while to get rid of the oils and 'factory taste'. What steps do we need to take to prepare it for smoking meat? How long to burn? What temp? When to put wood chunks in, etc, etc...

    You have a recipe for that slaw? It looks really good too.

    Question about 5-day e-course

    Jeff e-mailed it to me too later. That is weird that we'd miss day 4.
