    Any FEC 100 owners on here?

    I hope that this is the correct forum. Does anyone have or use an FEC 100 on here? I am debating picking up a 4-yr old lightly used unit and wanted to get some opinions. If someone has one, do you have the newer one with the IQ4 controller or the older controller? Thanks in advance for any...

    Newbie-New MasterBuilt SmokeHouse ???'s

    Don't any of you guys use the "lawn method" to clean your racks? You can just lay your dirty racks in the grass overnight. In the morning the crud will rinse right off with minimal scrubbing from the dew that has soaked the racks all night. Works even better if there is any rain. The next...

    Pulled pork FLUB!!!

    You may have cooked it at too high of a temp. You want to cook at 225-250 range for a LONG time. I do mine overnight. Double check the accuracy of your thermometers. Check your digital thermo in boiling water...should read 212 at sea level. Check the thermo on your cooker with your freshly...

    Re-heating BB ribs??

    If you have a propane smoker you should be able to keep it at temp at camp. If you are worried, go get a welding blanket to wrap around the smoker to keep in the temp. That way you can have the ribs marinating in the goodness of your rub until you are ready to smoke 'em!! Good luck, and kill...

    Baby Back Ribs. One Chance. Newbie.

    Wow....nobody beat you up for your lack of qview! If you and your guests liked the ribs, you had SUCCESS!!! Baby-backs cook MUCH quicker than spares. The 3-2-1 method is usually used for spares, so a 2-2-1 method may be better. My last batch of BB's had awesome flavor but were a tad dry as...

    Spare Ribs w/ jeffs rub just not right

    I am just starting to break in my MES also, but I don't think that you need to soak the chips or remove the ashes each time. I would heed the advice about thin blue smoke and add less chips at a time. I am actually gonna split my chunks into small enough pieces that they can fit in the MES...

    Minnesota Bradley Smoker Owner

    Welcome to SMF!!! What kind of mods are you gonna do to your OBS? I added a PID and may soon add a fan to eliminate the hot-spots and an additional heating element to get a better handle on temp control with heavy loads or cold weather. SMF is a great site for smoking, but the following is a...

    Brisket last night w-Q-View

    Nice brisket and nice boat in the background. Do you take it on the Columbia or out on the salt? I sure miss fishin' for gators on the Columbia. Best day out was 7 peelers to the boat with the smallest at about 8'. Good times!

    Chris from Pittsburgh

    Welcome Chris. You should not have any probs if you just take it to the correct temp. I am new here too and have only been in the 'burgh for a year. I have been wanting to smoke more, but the stormy weather has put a damper on it lately.

    Do I have a legit complaint?

    Thanks for the input guys. I am looking into the anti spam software like I had on my PC, but now I have a Mac. As soon as I get this cleared up I will post an update.

    Do I have a legit complaint?

    The cooking spams are just a fraction of what I am getting and gave me the idea that this may be the source. I have not signed up for anything on the web other than this site and the email course in a VERY long time. Since I signed up I am getting well over 100 emails in my spam box and 10-15...

    Do I have a legit complaint?

    First off, let me say that I really enjoy and will benefit from this site. That being said, I have a possible complaint and I wanted to see if directing it to the operators of this site is accurate. Ever since I signed up the the "5 day email course" I have been getting RIDICULOUS amounts of...

    boston butt on the gosm maiden voyage with q-view

    Krusher.....NICE BUTT!!! I bet that comment would be more appropriate coming from your significant other. LOL! I have that same temp probe and after a year or so I finally tested it in boiling water for accuracy, and it was reading 6 degrees lower (206 in boiling water). Hopefully yours is...

    Qview of first MES smoke...fatty and ABT's.

    Well, here are the results of last nights fatty and ABT's. They both turned out AWESOME!!! I would say that my first MES smoke was a success. Here are the ABT's about to come out of the smoker. Here is the fajita fatty. It was really good. Next time I will barely char the vegies over a...

    Qview of first MES smoke...fatty and ABT's.

    Instead of continuing my previous post asking about fatty smoking temps and adding to it, I thought I would create a qview thread of the smoke tonight. First a little background. My hunting buddy and I made about 70# of fresh wild goose sausages a couple weeks ago to put a dent in our stores...

    Temp for fatty smoking? Also ABT's.

    Giddyup Tex!!! Just the info I was looking for. The 92 degree heat has inspired me to try a Mexican theme for the fatty and ABT's. I will post pics as progress continues. Thanks!

    Temp for fatty smoking? Also ABT's.

    I am breaking in the new MES with a fatty today. This will be my first ever attempt at a fatty. At what temp do you guys smoke them? I know to get them to 160 IT, but how about the smoker temp? Also, do you put them on foil, or let the fat drip out of them. I will also be cooking ABT's for...

    I SCORED on a smoker! (seasoning advice??)

    So I went to season the smoker and noticed that the upper right part of the door by the hinge would not seal. The door was pulling away from the hinge....maybe damage since it was a floor model?? I called Masterbuilt today and they said that they will have a new door in the mail tomorrow...
