    using my first electric smoker......seeking advice on smoke flavor (chips vs. liquids, etc.)

    You don't need to roll smoke the whole cook.  Since you're starting out you'll want to go easy on the smoke anyway. You can go the whole cook but don't feel that if there's no heavy smoke you're not smokin'... I can't speak to Todd's product yet but from everything else I've searched on...

    Wagyu Brisket Overnight shipping companies

    That's an interesting article. A few of the guys that I compete with here in Indy have tried Wagyu side by side with a brisket they bought at Wal-Mart and couldn't tell the difference at the end of the smoke to make it worth the price. The marbling is better but you could probably get better...

    My first smoke

    +1 for the finishing sauce +1 for cooking to temp not time You're beating me to the punch using your MES for the first time but I hear that it burns through chips pretty quick. For your first smoke I'd limit the amount of chips you put in though. That chunk of meat is going to take some time...

    MES 40 from Amazon

    Well my smoker just arrived a day after I ordered it thanks to Amazon Prime!  I'm a network admin for a warehouse so they brought the smoker to me on a pallet jack.  An easy way to make friends! I'll clean it out and season it soon.

    Use water while smoking?

    I don't think there is a right answer to the OP's question honestly.  I agree with Eric's excellent post but one thing I've learned in my short time in BBQ is that there are very few constants other than the TBS and going by temp not time... My advice is to do some tests with / without water...

    MES 40 from Amazon

    Thanks for the tips Alesia!  I talked to Todd via email about which A-MAZE-N smoker to use in the CI so I do plan on getting that before I do the bacon.  I've got a few Mavericks that I can use to check the temps so that won't be an issue.  Now I just need to figure out if I want to mount this...

    MES 40 from Amazon

    So I bought a Cajun Injector 30" the other day at Gander Mountain on a whim.  I knew the MES 30" was a decent little workhorse but didn't know much about it. I haven't opened it yet and yesterday got to work and decided to do some research.  I was hoping for mods, tips, tricks, etc.  Instead I...

    So I'm anxious about getting my new smoker setup but after reading on here it looks like I'm taking this Cajun Injector back and ordering a MES 40" Digital from Amazon.

    Man it's been a long time.  I've been away much too long from this forum. It's been so long I had to buy a new smoker. Glad to be back and hope to soak up some knowledge and maybe even share some.

    Basic WSM?

    ^what Shooter said. When you load the WSM put your longer cuts on the bottom. The only thing I would not cook above other meat is poultry.  That's gonna contaminate your other food and it'll taste bad at best and you may get sick at worst.

    That's awesome! Have you been able to test whether or not the temp is solid across the grate?

    Question on foiling water pan

    I just do the inside on mine.  You may get some spillage on the sides of the pan, but that can be knocked off pretty easily. It really does make cleanup pretty simple.  You'll still have some liquid in the pan but just rinse it out and wipe it.  It won't be suitable to eat off of, but it won't...
