    Smoking Brisket Woes

    I’m sure a lot of us have botched a brisket when smoking. I am still learning a lot and did my 6th brisket this past weekend. It was the worst one I’ve done so far as the bottom of the flat was hard and dried out, almost burnt/like jerky. It was still edible just not on the bottom crust. I use...

    Brisket in my MES

    I’ve always rubbed with molasses and used Jeff’s Texas style rub. cut 1 to 2” off of the flat and put in my 30” mes. Set at 250 and smoke with mesquite or mesquite/oak till probe tender. Always turns out great! I have only wrapped once when I was in a pinch.

    Pork is at 190 so throwing in the fatty now. Did it jalapeño popper style with sausage cream cheese, bacon bits, mozzarella and a bit of shredded cheddar. We shall see how this turns out.

    PP tacos/fatty today and AMNPS question

    For sure, since I had it I’ve had the opposite problem with the AMNPS burning up quick. I move my smoker from my normal place and later today I moved back similar to how I had it. Don’t know if the airflow had anything to do with it, so who knows?

    PP tacos/fatty today and AMNPS question

    I put in an ~9lb pork butt for PP tacos around 12:30am. I got my AMNPS going and everything seemed ok. I monitored things for another 30 min and went to bed. I got up around 4:45am to check on things (my 2yr old came to my bed so I was awake) and the AMNPS was out and barely burnt after my first...

    Wagyu Gold Brisket

    Well... I have only been smoking meats for ~a year and this was my 5th brisket. I’ve done 1 choice and the 3 prime before this one. If I was to compare I do think the flavor was better and it was more tender than any of the others. Some of it just melted in your mouth like butter and could tell...

    Wagyu Gold Brisket

    Tha is for all your tips! I’ll start with not filling full with pellets and go from there. I am unsure if I have trouble with heat balance. I also almost always have a disposable foil pan on the bottom for easier cleanup.

    Wagyu Gold Brisket

    I have an mes gen 2 and I removed the water pan and put it over the opening on the slanted drip tray. Is there a better place to put it?

    Wagyu Gold Brisket

    Duely noted on the tip- Filling the AMNPS too full might be my issue cause it jumps rows all the time. I used the mes cold smoke kit before for all my smokes and recently got the AMNPS. Third time using it and have not got anywhere near 11-12 hrs out of it. I have had to refill it in the middle...

    Wagyu Gold Brisket

    There was a big debacle with it early this morning, but I think I got it under control. I put in at 1am with the amazen tray going. Looked at my temp at 4:30ish. And it was 168. I quickly panicked and when to check on it and my mes was rolling a lot of smoke. I opened it up and the whole pellet...

    Wagyu Gold Brisket

    I’m beyond excited to smoke this Wagyu Gold Brikset from Snake River. Couldn’t pass up the offer from a friend that had a hook up. $50 for. 10.6lber. with awesome marbling. He gets Wagyu Black all the time for a unbelievable price and I might just start sourcing from him. I am by no means a...

    PP in mes with first go at a maze n tray

    Actully when i filled it with more pellets i added to the right side where it was red hot with smoldering pellets. So this pic was after I filled it and the smoke was an hour or two from being done. Only got about 7hrs smoke I am guessing since it was placed closer to the heating element.

    PP in mes with first go at a maze n tray

    Thanks! It came pre filled with competition blend pelts, when I added more I used lumberjack competition blend. From what I’ve read they are the same. I only got about 7hrs or smoke from it, which I was please with that. Since using a gen 2 mes I set it on the drip tray above the opening where...

    PP in mes with first go at a maze n tray

    Got an mes 30 and when I got into smoking meat a year ago I bought the mes cold smoke kit attachment so I didn’t have to load chips every 30min. (This was before joining the forum and only doing minimal research) Problem was I would fill the chute and then it would get jammed up. So I was still...

    Holding brisket in oven or mes

    Guess I did forget to mention the temp... I plan on setting my mes to 250 so that’s why I was thinking 6pm the night before that would give me 16-17hrs before I have to wrap and leave for the 3hr drive. I may start at 4:30-5pm jut to give a little more time. If I separate the point and flat...
