    turkey breast questions

    I've pulled my 6.5 lb bone in turkey breast from a five hour brine, using the Slaughterhouse brine recipe. I've dried it off, and I'm going to rub it with oil and then season with a storebought rub. I'll keep it in the fridge overnight, and I'm going to smoke it tomorrow in my MES 40. 2...

    Question about brine time for turkey breast and chicken parts

    Here's another question for you experts....from what I've read, I should only brine the leg quarters and chicken breasts for about 1-2 hours. Would it be safe if I took the turkey breast out of the brine after 5 hours, and then put the chicken parts into the same brine for a couple of hours? Or...

    first pork loin roast?

    Hi folks - I'm smoking my first little pork loin roast tomorrow, along with a bunch of chicken leg quarters. My kids and I love the chicken, but my husband is more of a pork guy. So....I bought a little 2lb. pork loin roast to throw on with the chicken. So....should I just rub oil and...

    Over cooked some sausage links

    Slice them up, throw them in the crockpot with some barbecue sauce, and heat 'em up for a couple of hours. They'll be great!

    first turkey legs and chicken quarters

    Yep...they were probably overcooked. I don't think my meat probe is very accurate. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good meat probe?

    first turkey legs and chicken quarters

    I haven't yet tested my probe to see how accurate it is. I'll do that before my next smoke. Do you folks have a meat probe that you recommend?

So...I just rubbed them with canola oil, sprinkled them with Salt Lick barbecue rub (on top of and under the skin) and left them in the fridge overnight. Then I put...

    Rookie Brisket Q-view

    I was going by the temp on the MES digital display. I think I better get an oven thermometer so I can check the accuracy of my temp gage. Thanks for that tip! And yep, I put some apple juice in with the brisket when I wrapped it in foil, but not very much. Maybe I'll put more in next time...
