    First Smoke with AMNPS - Success!

    Santa and A-MAZE-N were good to me and my new MES30 this year. Got a Mav 732 (which i already used on Christmas day and LOVE it!), as well as a AMNPS and an assortment of pellets. Yesterday was my first go with all the new gizmo's. I did a dry trial run early in the day just to experiment...

    Some ham guidance

    It turned out great, got it to 140 (love my new mav 372), nice and moist, and packed with flavor.

    New Mav 732

    I've got the MES30 rolling for the first time with my new Mav 732 thermometer.  I"ve done the boil test and both probes were bang-on at 212 degrees. I"m finding that my mes cabinet temp gauge is off by 20 degrees, give or take......i've never even messed with the stock meat probe. Just posting...

    Some ham guidance

    thanks guys!  Is there a guesstimate for smoking time?  I"ve been figuring it'll take about 3-4 hours to cook this smallish slab of ham (5 lbs).  would you say thats accurate-ish?

    Some ham guidance

    Thanks, Linguica - that was actually what I was kind of thinking of doing.  Being pre-cooked I'm less worried about the creepy crawlies than I am drying it out too much (i've got a pretty agressive basting plan ready).  any other advice out there?

    Some ham guidance

    Guys - been doing a lot of reading prepping for a Christmas ham-smoke. Just want to make sure I've got everything clear. My biggest question is regarding the targeted internal temperature My ham is fully cooked. I've read some posts saying I need to aim for 140 degrees. I've seen others...

    Say hello to my new friend

    fear not - i thought the same thing......like i said, I'm borrowing this recipe from a buddy - and god knows i thought the same thing when i first saw his "thick strips."  for my money - it was some of the best jerky i've ever had....so i'm giving them a run.

    Say hello to my new friend

    Thanks guys. I'm excited for Santa to bring me anmps....but for the next 4 weeks the chip loader will have to do. Today I made Todd's rub and sauce. Tomorrow they have a date with a couple racks of ribs. A friend of mine has been dabbling in beef jerky, and as itype this I've got a small batch...
