    Bradley Smoker vs Masterbuilt Smoker Pros Cons (advice needed)

    My first smoke, I did some pork chops with salt and pepper and some wood chips.  Just cook to temp.  Your very first thing is to season it.

    Bacon-mania!

    Looks great!  I am looking forward to the pancetta especially.  It is in my list of things to do.  I need to build a drying chamber first.

    Pork butt partial smoke

    I smoke for 10 hours (165*) and then put the roasts in the fridge or freezer.  The night before, I put them in a roaster at 200 degrees when I go to bed. I start breaking them apart at 8am in the roaster and by noon it is ready and sitting in it's own juices.  No finishing sauce needed...

    Did my first smoke... Thanks to all the Veteran Smokers.

    Congratulations on the success!  Lucky timing impressing the in laws.  The only issue is no Qview! I admit, I wouldn't have taken photos of my first either.  You just don't know how that first one is going to come out.

    Unfamiliar with my new Charcoal Smoker (now with Pics)

    It looks to be more of a grill, but with a diffuser-indirect heat, you can do some fine work like on a weber.

    Need Suggestions for Smoking Cheese in MES40 with AMNPS

    I smoked mine this spring in my weber grill and amnps at 35*F.   No issue with flavor.  I moved over to the MES for warmer weather.

    New to smoking and the forum!

    Welcome, and definately show off that brick oven and new smokehouse.  We all love to see those projects and what you make with them.  I think there are plenty here who are interested in the brick oven.

    Bradley Smoker vs Masterbuilt Smoker Pros Cons (advice needed)

    Many of us here have the MES and I don't think you will hear many bad things. I also have the AMNPS and it makes it very easy, but don't think you have to have it, but I definately recomend it. What I don't like about the Bradley is that you are limited to their wood choices.  With the MES, I...

    Busy Sausage Weekend with QView

    Thanks all for the encouragement.   Since it was an experimental batch I went prettylight on the pepper to get to know the base flavor, but do know about the cayenne differences.  A friends mother used to send it to her from Arizona, what a difference.  I was thinking paprika for color.  Want to...

    Busy Sausage Weekend with QView

    It was time to refill the freezer. This was a bunch of firsts for me this weekend. 10 lbs of loose ground breakfast sausage using a Lem Kit.  Delicious. No Photo.  3lb of Hi Mountain Snack sticks.  My wife's request.  These were very good.  They and other flavors will likely be a regular for...

    Question about mini WSM build. (NOW WITH Q_VIEW AND POST MORTEM!!)

    I love this.  where did you find that pot? The terra cotta piece, where did it sit in the unit?  Did you use the terra cotta without water? Maybe you should copyright this and have the conversion comercially sold.  Weber would be smart to buy this from you.
