    2 Turkey Breasts for Tomorrow. 1 Fried & 1 Smoked (MES30) Halp!!

    Thanks for the posts everyone. Ended up setting the smoker to 250-260deg & when it hit 160 I pulled it from the smoker. It then joined the fried Turkey which had been in a cooler foiled & toweled for a couple if hours in the oven. Set the temp to 350deg, turned in the convection fan & let them...

    2 Turkey Breasts for Tomorrow. 1 Fried & 1 Smoked (MES30) Halp!!

    Roger that.  May consider a brief stint in the oven to try to crisp up the skin but I'm not so sure anyone will even eat it.  It's not all that healthy and I don't think too many people who will be eating would care if I just pulled it off and chucked it. Along those lines, should I just pull...

    2 Turkey Breasts for Tomorrow. 1 Fried & 1 Smoked (MES30) Halp!!

    Those both look amazing.  I'm afraid that I'm not going to have time for either brine or injection at this point... well, maybe the injection but I'm not sure what ingredients I have here and if I want to go back into town again tonight since I just went in a few hours ago.  I may just have to...

    2 Turkey Breasts for Tomorrow. 1 Fried & 1 Smoked (MES30) Halp!!

    So you're using the smoker the entire time and thinking it should take about three hours?  Do you let it rest afterwards?  How long?  Foil & towels in a cooler or ?? Also, should I run it up to 275deg or do you prefer the 240-250deg range for a more moist/tender bird?  Just wondering if Low &...

    2 Turkey Breasts for Tomorrow. 1 Fried & 1 Smoked (MES30) Halp!!

    Just do a rub then?  Foil or no foil?  About how long do you think the whole process will take?  Can you estimate the time in smoker and oven?  Still trying to decide when I need to get this whole party started.  I think I'm good on the fryer as I still have my notes from last year I'll just...

    Scratch that, no brine for the frying.  Duh.  I want that puppy dry before it gets anywhere near hot oil. Looks like for a better skin I want my smoker to be more like 325-375deg?

    2 Turkey Breasts for Tomorrow. 1 Fried & 1 Smoked (MES30) Halp!!

    Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to smoking as I got my first smoker this summer (MES 30) and have done quite a few smokes since.  I've never done a turkey breast in one and tomorrow is the big day.  Last year I fried a turkey breast a couple weeks in advance to practice and this year the...

    Do you guys clean your racks?

    This might just be the easiest method yet.

    Do you guys clean your racks?

    That's what I did this last time was toss it in the dishwasher but the other times they were worser and I did it by hand.  Took me like an hour.  Yeesh.

    Do you guys clean your racks?

    I may have to look into that some day.

    Do you guys clean your racks?

    These things are a PITA to clean & I think I read that some don't bother cleaning them between smokes.  I would love to just let it go but my OCD is getting the better of me on this one.  Convince me I don't need to worry about cleaning them.

    Anyone thinking about pulling the trigger on the MES 30" may want to check this out...

    With a Discover card you can buy items now and then they will refund you the difference when you submit BF advertisements.  Hit up Google for details because there are a few exceptions but it's a really solid deal for Discover card holders.  They're also doing a deal where new card holders will...

    Thanks for the post.  I still haven't heard back.  Hopefully they get back to me soon.

    From what I've read they know they're broken but don't yet have a solution so that timeframe is until they get working controllers to replace them with.

    I did contact them directly.  That's the email I sent to them and I just pasted it here so that others can see it and will follow up when I receive a response.

    Open Letter to Masterbuilt re: MES 30

    To whom it may concern I recently bought a Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker from Amazon and am having some issues.  The first was that upon opening the box there was a rather sizable dent in the top of the unit near the rear that was readily visible.  The packaging itself was fine so this lead...

    pork butt and CSR's....all on the new XL for memorial day..w/Q-view

    I don't think you want my specifics but I think I had a thread I started before I cooked it.  Plenty of details there.  I trimmed the fat cap a little too much and I think that was my primary downfall.  Plan to leave it next time and do a few different things but I'm going to back burner the...

    Maverick ET-732 Low Temp Warning Maxes Out @ 175deg?

    You're right.  I just checked again and it went up just fine past 175deg.  Weird.  I have it set at 200deg now and it seemed to save it and everything seems good to go.  I know that it stopped at 175deg the first time though and wouldn't let me adjust it past that which I thought was unusual...

    pork butt and CSR's....all on the new XL for memorial day..w/Q-view

    That all looks amazing OP!  Do you or possibly anyone else have a link to some more details on smoking CSRs?  I've got pretty good at smoking pork butts and my brisket is 'meh' at best.  I will work on that more later but they're a little bit spendy to keep screwing up.  CSR's always look...
