Results of My First Pork Butt Smoke - Long Post Warning
Thank you! I'll reach out to him. The foil pan I've been using for drippings could also have been an issue with my previous smokes. I'm using a larger foil pan that just barely squeezes in with the door shut. In fact, I normally bend up the edges all the way around to allow for a little more... -

Results of My First Pork Butt Smoke - Long Post Warning
Well - it was a long day, but I now have my first pork butt smoke under my belt. In the end, I would grade my work at a B- ish. One thing I walked away with for sure is that I'm truly a novice in every since of the word, and I have a lot to learn (which I will). In fact, I spent a lot of the... -
General Smoking Questions for a Beginner
Hey Gang - Quick question. I just foiled the meat with some juice, and i put them back in the smoker at 220-225 degrees. I'm not going to put any more smoke to the meat. Since the meat is foiled, should I close the damper on the smoker (MES), leave it wide open, or somewhere between. I know... -

Quick Help Needed! Meat Ready for Smoke - MES Temp WAY Off
Thank you! I always get worried as I'm learning how to manage meat. I'm feeding more people than just myself, including kids and a pregnant woman, so I stay on the cautious side. :)- jtucker

Quick Help Needed! Meat Ready for Smoke - MES Temp WAY Off
Also, quick question. I took the meat out of the refrigerator at about 5:05 am, while the smoker was heating up. I expected to put the meat on at around 5:30. While I was trying to figure out the smoker temp issue, I realized the meat was still out. I put it back in the fridge at about 5:50...- jtucker

Hello from Hog (as in Whoo Pig Sooie) Country
Hi everyone - I'm Jeff and I'm from northwest Arkansas. I'm new to both the SMF, and smoking in general. About 3 months ago I picked up my first smoker, which is a 40in Masterbuilt digital electric smoker. My knowledge of smoking is very elementary, but I'm hooked and eager to learn. I've... -
General Smoking Questions for a Beginner
Hi, my name is Jeff. Earlier this year I picked up my first smoker (electric), and I've been hard at it since. I love smoking so far, but the reality is that I'm still very green when it comes to smoking. At this point, I've only been focusing on ribs and have had some success. I'm stepping...
