    At home with the flu, figured I'd get some smoking done

    So, im new to smoking and am confused right now. I just foiled the turkey and they seemed to be made of rubber! I let them cook at 220ish until they got to 160 degrees like ive been reading other doing. Im now leaving them foiled until they are at 205. Will they get juicier or did i screwed up?

    At home with the flu, figured I'd get some smoking done

    This the first time im using my MES 30 (older windowless version) with water in the pan. Is it normal for the temp not to exceed 220 with water? I used it a couple times without the water and it went to any temp I wanted.

    At home with the flu, figured I'd get some smoking done

    Hey yall, Im at home with some respiratory virus and have been for 5 days now. Since I have nothing better to do, I figured Id try smoking turkey for the first time. My buddy gave me 2 huge turkey breasts a few days ago that have been calling my name. I let it sit in my version of Emeril's Cajun...

    David, that would be a pretty manly way to bake a cake :) Instead of wasting all those coals, I quickly threw together a Fatty and smoked that. It was my first attempt at a Fatty but it turned out pretty good. I used Pepper jack cheese, green peppers, and mushrooms. I wish the bacon would have...

    Im measureing the temp with the Mav 732. I checked it in boiling water and it was accurate, then in the oven which i found out my oven is running 100 degrees hot :)

    I understand the chimney affect, but its still sitting at 300-310 . I moved it outside so its sitting in the snow hoping that will help bring the temp down. Also, i use 100% natural briquettes

    So I took 3/4 of the coals out and the temp jumped to 370!!! This absolutely boggles my mind!

    Ok, so i checked the probes in boiling water and they read 214. Im fine with that, but any ideas on how to decrease the temp in my smoker even though all the air inlet are closed? I figured that I would have a hard time reaching 230 because it's winter, even though we are having a warm streak...

    I have no clue why i didn't think of checking it with boiling water. I always verify my other thermometers that way!

    Newbie with a question

    Hey yall! So, i got up early (and hungover) to start smoking 10 pounds of pork shoulder to make pulled pork for some co-oworkers. I bought the Maverick ET-732 yesterday and just found out it reads 100 degrees higher then the actual temp. I put the probe in the oven at 250 and the thermometer...

    UDS smoker problems

    Well I raised my charcoal basket to 4 inches off the bottom and made the basket twice as wide. I also used the Minion method this weekend when I smoked a pork loin. Everything worked great! I just got to stay closer to the smoker so I can manage the air flow better. The temp was all over between...

    UDS smoker problems

    PaPaGrizz, what is that in the middle of your basket? So looks like this weekend I will be getting longer bolts for the legs and making my charcoal basket much bigger. Thanks for the help guys!
