    Turkey size for MES 30"

    Hey everyone!  Looking to smoke a turkey here in the next month or so, and been reading that you cannot fit a big turkey in an MES 30".  Is that true?  If you can, how big of a turkey can you fit in? JonnyG

    Interesting.  I'll look into it!  Sounds like with a vac sealer I can still preserve the taste with the brisket.  Going to look today.  Thanks Demo!  Always with the good advice.  :)

    Brisket - 3rd time's a charm. 2.5 lbs smoke

    Yes sir.  No i do not.  You think it's something i should invest in?  Also Demo, you mentioned if I was interested in getting a smoke ring from my MES, you would know where to point me in the right direction?  I was searching actually last night on the forums and this is what I found, and will...

    Demo! Check it out.  If I can be honest, the taste truly reminds me of visiting my folks down in Tx.  Full of flavor, and not dry by any means.  I wanted to show that the brisket has a lot of elasticity and is very tender.  Seriously, I couldn't be happier thanks to you Demo!  Thank you for the...

    Brisket - 3rd time's a charm. 2.5 lbs smoke

    Hey b-one.  Yea I'm new to brisket, last thing i wanted was to spend 60+ dollars and mess it up.  But thanks to Demo!  It was amazing

    Brisket - 3rd time's a charm. 2.5 lbs smoke

    Well thats good!  Honestly, when I poked the probe through the brisket, I was pretty astonished of how easy it was to get it through, and it was easy as well coming out, but it felt like what you said, it was a "bit denser."  Absolutely Demo, I'll take photos of the whole thing, and the slices...

    Brisket - 3rd time's a charm. 2.5 lbs smoke

    I never really understood what done would be like for a brisket, since this is my first go around utilizing the probe technique.  It really seems tender.  When I was bringing it back in the house, it was wobbling...haha, if that makes any sense. In about an hour or so, I'll cut it open and share...

    Brisket - 3rd time's a charm. 2.5 lbs smoke

    Smells and looks great.  Bark looks good.  Ok, so I was probing every 15 mins starting at 181, and I think I got the probe to slide off hardly without any resistance at 197 degrees IT IT.  I'm going to do what you recommended Demo, let it sit under tin foil for 20 mins, then wrapping the brisket...

    Just hit 181, and tried the probe test. Had a little bit of resistance poking through the brisket, however, pulling the probe out, had more resistance.  Will check in another 15 mins.  I feel like I'm very close to the tenderness that I'm looking for.

    OK thanks for the tip. Starting to see the temp rise, and adjusted my chamber temp to 245. Will probe test it at 180ish. Will keep ya posted.

    Brisket - 3rd time's a charm. 2.5 lbs smoke

    Haha. Appreciate it Demo.  It really does look good and smells awesome.  But is it normal to drop like that (2 degress IT, after the stall period) for an hr?  Going to raise it up to the 240's.  I've been spritzing the brisket every other hour, to keep it moist, is that ok?
