    First Boston Butt is off but there's no bark!

    Thanks Smoking B and Bill- I'm so dissapointed. I've been Thinking about this bark for 3 freaking days! Ha! Guess there is a learning curve on this too. One more question. At 1345 today the butt will have rested for 2 hours. What should I do with it until our 5:30 dinner? I was going to...

    Electric smoker safe for deck?

    Hey everyone. As usual, I have a very basic question. I live on the 3rd floor of a 3 floor apartment building and have a wodden deck on the back. I have a Masterbuilt 30" electric fridge style smoker and wondered if it would be safe to use on the deck. I have used it 6 or 7 times at my parents...

    Can't get temp in MES 30 up!

    Yes the clamp is tight except the wires for probes coming out. I brought it to a friends house to use and I think it may be an electrical issue. Do you think that if there was a lack of power to an outlet that may be the culprit?

    Warning: Beginner Question - MES Temp Check

    Hey everyone. I'm new to smoking and have a MES 30" cabinet style smoker. I have done 3 or 4 smokes in it, but I'm not sure that the digital temperature guage on the smoker is accurate. For example, I wanted to smoke some tenderloins which I thought would take an hour and a half so. I put them...

    Sweet & Sour Sauce Recipe

    Thanks for this recipe. I love S&S sauce but was wondering what the uses would be. I'm brand new to smoking (or any type of cooking) so cut me some slack. Would you smoke the meat and then add this sauce at the end? Thanks Ben

    Making my Smoking Debut today, but need some help.

    Thanks everyone. As it turns out, it was still pretty good. What we found was that without exception, every one who ate today much preferred Jeff's rub to the Grill Mates version. The BBQ sauce was also right on point and much preferred above store bought sauce. I thought that the meat was a...
