    Baby Backs and Picnic Shoulder on MES 30 with Q View

    Divisional Round Weekend in the NFL meant smoking some pork for dinner on Sunday. I ended up going with 2 racks of baby backs and a small picnic pork shoulder. Picked things up Saturday morning, rinsed, trimmed then applied mustard and rubs. For the ribs, I used a Clubhouse Chipotle Mango 1:1...

    First Try at Canadian Bacon & Venison Dried Beef

    Thanks ab canuck. The first time I tried pops brine, I made belly bacon and used around 1/2 cup of salt per gallon and found that it was not salty enough for my taste. This time around I ended up using the full cup to see what the difference was. This time it had a nice sweet and salty...

    First Try at Canadian Bacon & Venison Dried Beef

    I believe Peameal Bacon is a mainly Canadian thing. When I first started using the forum and seeing "Canadian Bacon", Peameal is actually what I first thought of. The typical cured and smoked Canadian Bacon seen here on the forum, is something I had never really tried until I made this batch...

    First Try at Canadian Bacon & Venison Dried Beef

    Took my first crack at some Canadian Bacon and Venison Dried Beef last weekend. I had some pork loins which I bought over the holidays and got into Pop's Brine for 10 days. 2 whole loins cut into 8 pieces total. I ended up rolling 4 of the pieces into corn meal and making a "peameal" bacon...

    New to smoking

    When doing my first couple smokes with my MES 30, I used wood chips with the standard chip tray and loader tube. I ended up buying the AMNPS and have been much happier with the smoke. I find it is a less intense smoke with the AMNPS vs. the stock arrangement. Since the heating element is...

    AMPS - Won't Stay Lit (Multiple Attempts)

    +1 I have had a very similar experience as biaviian. I place the loaded tray in the smoker while it preheats to help dry. I then light with a propane blow torch, aiming the flame in from the bottom, end and top until a nice flame gets going. Then I let it burn for 5 minutes or so, blowing on it...

    Scarbelly Wings for friends

    Ya I would have the same problem with temps as I too have a MES 30. I have heard of others doing a quick crisp on a hot grill or even a quick deep fry to crisp the skin up after smoking. I would think the hot grill would make quick work and compliment the smoked flavour. Definitely on my...

    Holiday Smoking Fun with Q View

    Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate the kind words and tips. Pops, I will have to give that a try on the next round of cheese smoking to see the difference in taste. One thing I forgot to mention is I have 2 full pork loins in some of your brine right now to make some "Canadian" Bacon and also...

    Well the holidays are over and so are my recent smoking adventures. I was able to try some new things to smoke, as well as mod my MES with the mailbox mod and AMNPS. I am still slacking on getting pictures at different stages but got a couple throughout different smokes. Christmas Eve, had a...

    First time bacon success

    Looks great! Another success thanks to Bearcarvers very helpful tutorials. I have some belly coming out of Pop's wet brine tonight and I am smoking Saturday morning. Going to be a little warmer since I do not have the AMNPS yet in my MES. Cant wait to try the finished result.

    Pork Butt Timing

    I would smoke it Saturday morning if you can. This gives you time to make sure it is cooked properly, give it a nice long rest before pulling. Then you can put it in a tin foil pan with its own juices and some finishing sauce, and just heat up on Sunday while you visit with family.
