    Masterbuilt electric smoker brisket help

    Hello, I've got a MES 40 as well and have done a few briskets. Depending on your taste, I'd suggest using the same amount of Mesquite as you would normally use hickory. In my opinion, I've never had to much smoke on a brisket. Use chips for about half of your smoke. I've always used the second...

    Wings on a WSM

    Quick question regarding wings on a WSM. I've been using a Masterbuilt electric for a few years now and just got a new WSM for my birthday. Looking to smoke wings for the first time on it. I'd like to cook them in the 325-350 range so that I don't have to throw them on the grill. Being that I've...

    Short Smoke on A WSM

    Just stepped up from a 40 MES to WSM 22. Put it together last night and want to do a short smoke this weekend to see if I can regulate the temps fairly easy before I put a brisket on. My question is, if I plan to do a short smoke, say 6 hours or so, for ribs or a fatty, doing the minion method...

    Question on Slicing Brisket

    Question on Slicing Brisket

    In the past, I've always separated the point from the flat prior to cooking. I'd like to try cooking it whole this time and I'd still like to make burnt ends out of the point.Once the brisket has reached temp, do I just slice straight down and cut off the point or will there still be a...

    221 Back Ribs a little tough

    I've run into this same problem with the 2-2-1. My wife likes them fall off the bone. I cook mine at 225 smoker temp, cook them for 2 hours unwrapped, then wrap them for the 3 hours in the smoker. I pull them off, throw them on the grill, and sauce them on the grill. They usually have a great...

    Cooking for Large Group

    Sorry I misread. Yes wrapping at 160 and putting them back in until they get to your desired IT is perfect

    Cooking for Large Group

    Sounds great. My only suggestion would be to bring them to an IT of 195-200 before pulling in wrap. Enjoy and good luck

    Help with pork butt for 4th of July

    It's funny you brought this up. I just ran into this exact situation. I had done a 10 pound butt 2 weeks ago that took 24 hours. It was a boneless butt at 225 smoker temp. I use a 30 inch MBS and I was surprised that it was taking so long. Yesterday, I put a 10 pounder in the smoker at 7:00 AM...

    Wanting to try Smoking Cheese

    I'm thinking of trying to do cheese for the first time. I have the cold smoker attachment for my Masterbuilt electric. From what I've read, an ideal temp is somewhere around 70. If I were to smoke around 65, how long would I smoke for? Thanks for the help

    Smoking chips

    I have the same smoker. I don't close the damper and haven't had any issues. I leave it open about a quarter of the way open.
