    need emergency help

    Update: it turned out surprisingly good. I think being cold in the middle caused the outside well done area to extend farther into the center. But i think thats to be expected Anyway, Thanks for the replies.

    No boil Macaroni Mac & cheese

    So I tried bpopovitz’s recipe last night with a few tweaks to try and make it creamer. First I used 6 oz Velveeta and 10 oz of cheddar cheese. Next I used 2 cups of heavy cream and 3 cups of milk. For extra kick, topped it with chopped jalapenos. Thought it was really good it did not get creamy...

    Onions (and other stuff) in my water pan

    Looking for things to eat, not to flavor the meat. More specifically, things to serve with the meat.

    Drink of choice?

    I always smoke with a perfect pint of Guinness. It also helps that I have it on tap at my house.

    Onions (and other stuff) in my water pan

    I have been searching for a post about this and can't find one. When I first got on the forum someone suggested putting beef broth and onions in my water pan. I tried it and loved it! So I do this every time I smoke a butt. However I don't remember who told me and I can't find where anyone else...

    MES DIED!!! need advice

    I also forgot to mention I just recieved my Smoke Daddy in the mail this week. So if the old MES does not work and I end up keeping the new one, I have the non smoke issue covered.

    MES DIED!!! need advice

    I followed up on my plan. I purchased a new MES (confirmed it was the new design) then disassembled my old one. My terminals were burned up but it looks like an easy fix. I located a local store that carries high temp wiring and terminals (12 ga wire) So I have yet to pull the new smoker out of...

    MES DIED!!! need advice

    I called masterbuilt and the would not confirm there was a problem with the wiring or the terminals. But they did say there was a redesign last year. So I am thinking I will just run over to Cabela's and spend $150 on a new MES. Then I will do some custom work in the old unit, I think I will...

    MES DIED!!! need advice

    So has Masterbuilt fixed the issue or is this still happening? I will try to repair mine, but if it does not work I don't want a new MES with the same issue.

    MES DIED!!! need advice

    My MES died in the middle of smoking 15 pounds of pork for the family memorial weekend. So now I have to decide if its worth trying to fix the smoker or just buy a new smoker. So far all I know is the heating element is not heating. I am guessing it's possibly the theromastat. I am thinking I...

    The Perfect Pint

    Guinness does not run on just regular CO2. It takes a mixture of 75% nitrogen and 25% CO2. The nitrogen gives it the tiny bubbles that cause the surge when the Guinness is poured. Also a special faucet is required with a flow restrictor. FYI: And yes when you pour a Guinness the surge bubbles do...

    The Perfect Pint

    Guinness is pure flavor. And is considered a light beer. In one (1) draught pint there are 210 calories, 0 fat and 17g total carbs. And it's low in alcohol 4% by volume. And it's good for you!!!
