Pellets
I've been wanting to get a stick burner for some time now, due to being rented I am unable to do so at the time due to not wanting to move an 800lb smoker around from place to place. Anyways I pulled the trigger and got myself a Weber EX6 so I can enjoy better bbq until I get me the stick...- ycastane

First Ever Offset
So after reading a lot and watching many videos and such, wanting better tasting food as I get older, I have decided to get an offset instead of the pellet I was thinking off a while back. I've been smoking meats for about 10 years. Started with a bass pro propane smoker, couldn't get the temp...- ycastane

Brisket Attempt #2
So after looking at a few threads here on brisket I got the bug and decided to tackle the beast a second time. I bought a 14lb packer angus from restaurant depot. Saw a few videos specially from Aaron Franklin on how to trim the fat and remove the unwanted fat. Used 50/50 coarse sea salt and... -
Attempting First Fatty
I've been reading several threads here about fatties to see how it's done. I decided I will make 2 of them, one with the jimmy sausage or whatnot and one with ground beef, I want to see which I like more. My worry is that the bacon won't crisp up. I have an MES that goes up to as high as 270... -
Bone In Pork Butt
Anyone tried smoking one of these bad boys!? Just trying to figure out if they will come out as nice as a boston butt? I can get them bigger and way cheaper, although I think they will retain or have more fat in the meat after cooked. Should I debone it rather or just leave the bone? Need some... -
Redi Check Thermometer
I bought the redi check thermometer a few months ago when I got the MES, it's been working great until the last 2 smokes. When I connect the meat probe and stick it into the meat it reads anywhere from 150-300 degrees! Replaced the batteries on Saturday and still the same thing happens! Anyone...- ycastane

Pastrami Sunday
So since I made the first attempt at Pastrami I've been hooked ever since, not to mention that my very Cuban father somehow loved this meat and now eats it as breakfast every day, and for this man to like anything besides Cuban food is a miracle lol. So without further adieu, -
First Brisket ever!
So last night I attempted to go down the brisket road after many many threads of brisket read. Since I had a busy wknd I couldn't do it throughout the day so I decided to do it over night. I slapped the brisket with some salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chilli powder and... -
Turkey Sausage
I am hooked with this little store bought Turkey Bites (Turkey Sausage). Has anyone tried these and made something similar? I'd like to try to make this if possible, they seem very healthy so if there is any fat added is very little. They taste really good and since I always diet these little... -
First Pastrami Attempt
I bought a couple corned beef flats from Winn Dixie since I couldn't wait the time it takes to make my own. I desalinated it, rub them with the amazingribs rub, smoked them for about 3 hrs with cherry wood, let it rest for a couple hrs and then back into the steamer. It was about the same... -

First Rib Roast
Since I got the MES 30 and reading all this threads with rib roasts I've been wanting to try it myself, so I just went by Costco and got me this 6lbs Ribeye Roast. I plan on coating it on Worcestershire sauce but I need to go and get the thick one. I do have a question though, what is the... -

Brining or Dry Rub
I'm getting an MES smoker this wknd and I am looking for a good recipe for pulled pork. My dad loves pork, mostly what he eats but I've tried brining and also some dry rubs recipes but haven't gotten the results he likes nor the one I was looking for. Most of the time I get a good flavor outside...
