    My first brisket and some questions

    Going to do a brisket for the first time in my ME40 and AMPS. I'm cooking for my family and want to produce something great. What's everyone's go-to method? Injecting? Rub only? Rub then sauce? I've poked around and have some ideas but wondered what everyone thought. We have flats here at...

    Wait time on cheese?

    So I did my first cold smoke on cheese a couple of weeks back.  In fact it will be two weeks tomorrow.  I have seen two weeks as a minimum amount of time to wait until I crack into it.  Should I realistically wait a longer amount of time?  Can I nip into it tonight?  What's the general rule?

    Ribs in my ME40

    Does a full rack of St. Louis ribs fit in the ME40? Or do people just chop the racks in half?

    Question about the AMNPS

    So I did get my MES40 from Santa and I am seasoning it as we speak so that I can give it a whirl tomorrow night.  I am interested in cold smoking, and have read so much good about AMAZE-N products.  What I don't know is whether I should get the AMAZE-N tray that uses the dust or the pellets...

    First smoke?

    So I believe that Santa is bringing me my first smoker and I am itching to give it a try.  After seasoning it, what do you all recommend for a first time smoke?  I want to wow the family and put out a great product, but I also want something that I can nail.  I feel confident in my cooking but...

    In the market for my first smoker

    Looking at the ME 30 or 40; leaning towards the 30 so I have more $$$ to spend on supplies. Will I feel like the 30 is too small? Can I do full racks of spares and turkeys in it? Also I saw the ME 30 with the digital thermometer built in on some models. Is it worth the extra for that or do...
