    MES130B John McLemore Signature Series

    I am getting ready to buy my first electric smoker and Lowes has two versions of the MES 130b. The "standard" $189, John McLemore Signature Series is $229. I looked at the specs and the only difference I could see is the McLemore has about 3 additional inches of cooking space. Do anyone know...

    Converted offset smoker - heat problems

    When I use the AMNPS for hot smoking (225+), I am guessing I would place the tube on the opposite side of the smoker away from of the heat source.  The website says not to place directly adjacent to the heat source. I am able to keep the smoker at 225 with the use of a needle valve and...

    Converted offset smoker - heat problems

    I converted my offset smoker to propane and love the ease of it.  The problem I am having is the wood I use for smoke often catches fire, making the heat hard to control.  I use an old cast iron pan for the wood chunks. I have tried moving the pan around the fire box and have put the pan on top...

    Brisket, butts and ribs

    Just put on a 10lb brisket and two pork butts.  Ribs go on in a couple of hours.  It's going to be a long satisfying day.  More pics as the day goes on.

    First successful chicken thighs with Qview

    Smoked chicken thighs today.  I have smoked them before and but the skin always turned out like leather and the meat was a little dry.  I put a simple rub on them and put them in the smoker at 250-260 degree (suggestion from SMF) using apple wood for smoke. After one hour, I flipped them skin...
