Very nice - I've never seen potatoes done like that - I love the presentation.
Sehr schön - ich habe noch nie so Kartoffeln gesehen - ich liebe die Präsentation.
Welcome!
I joined a couple of days ago - there's an incredible amount of knowledge already published to the site if you go looking for it, and the members are always more than willing to answer any questions.
Enjoy!
No idea why that post above never posted... oh well.
The cook is complete, and the meat came out fantastic!!! The bone just fell out and the whole butt just came apart with a gentle application of a fork.
Seeing is believing - this is at the stall, just before foil:
This is right after...
So minor disaster.... I had a fire break out in the wood dish - normally not that big a deal, however while in the process of pulling it out, one of the chunks grabbed the water pan and dumped that all over everything - the deck, the wood pan, my hand....
Good news is that put the fire out...
Well, so far so good... got a later start than I wanted, but that's ok. I'm in no rush. This will taste just as good tomorrow if it's not done in time for tonight's dinner.
Here are some shots from this morning of my wood layout and a pretty one of the smoker throwing smoke. :)
So here goes nothing... I've run some chicken pieces through the smoker with decent results, but this will be my first time putting my new MPS smoker to the test.
I've got the butt rubbed and wrapped - planning on using a combo of Pecan chunks supplemented with Apple chips. The spritz will be a...
Can I just say...
I find it amusing & amazing that a guy in SE Michigan finds an article from a news outlet that's local to me here in Greenville, SC about bad gas in Texas (which opens the door to all sorts of comments, but I digress).
Just wanted to throw that out there :)
Thanks for all the input... getting ready to do this tomorrow...
Quick question - I'm going to go grab a bag of chunks - can you soak them like chips or is there no point due to their mass?
Guys thanks for the input.
Chris - you are correct, it is a Masterbuilt Propane Smoker.
Do you guys have smoke generating for the entire cook time? Or at some point do you let the smoke die and just finish the cook?
That was the one aspect I was disappointed by - the skin did not crisp at all, given the low and slow. I think future runs will include the removal of the skin.
Hey all,
I picked up a pork butt (about 7 lbs) and want to run it through my new MPS...
Any advice? The cooking chart that came with the smoker is less than helpful, and I'm seeing cook times of 6 hours to 14 hours, although those appear to mainly be electric and wood types.
I'm currently...
It's primarily propane but says charcoal can be used... given how the pan inside is built, I'm not sure how well charcoal would work... I've already had to stick an old cast iron pan in there instead of using the provided pan.
I just did up a pack of legs and thighs naked with mesquite chips.
Came out excellent - smoke flavor penetrated almost all the way to the bone.
Cooked for 2 hours at avg. temp of 215 - IT of 160
Hey all,
New to the site, and new to smoking (the proper way). I used to use a couple of cast iron boxes in my propane grill, and got semi-decent results (or so I thought) on some turkey legs or country style ribs.
I just got a Masterbuilt dual fuel vertical and holy crap the difference...
