    Thanks all for the advice! The final: 7 of 10 say “go bigâ€.

    I've got the 30" version - interesting to hear about the heat loss through the glass, I would have thought they'd have double paned it . For monitoring temperature, keep in mind that a number of pounds of meat will add a lot of thermal load to they system, and the water pan does as well. Once...

    Sale today!

    Sirloin tip is pretty tender to start with - you may end up awful dry on a long slow smoke. I did one a couple of weeks ago and just took it to medium rare http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...=farnsworth%27 Cheers,

    I lost A Dear Friend Last Night After A 9 Month Romance W/Qview

    Gulp! Makes me nervous to see how many folk have had problems with their MES. Mine's just new in January and I've been working it every weekend so far. Glad you were able to get yours replaced. Cheers,

    Inside Round Roast - qview along the way

    The Results! Got the roast ready to carve, meanwhile my wife had made sourdough in a Dutch oven - inspired by Good Eats to do the 'no knead sourdough'. Got my son's sign of approval to go... There's steam rising here but I had let it cool to about 160F for slicing, VERY tender, needed a...

    Inside Round Roast - qview along the way

    I've got it in the cooler now - lots of liquid in the foil, letting is soak all back in for about 2 hours before cutting! Will have shots later of the finished product.

    Inside Round Roast - qview along the way

    Getting there... After 5 hours at 240F (MES set at 250F , but internal temp probe showed consistent 240F) , removed from smoker at 2pm. Recovered the drippings for later use, wrapped in foil and returned to get a little further along. Got a nice crisp exterior and a test cut 'nibble' was...

    Inside Round Roast - qview along the way

    I'm trying it new for myself with this one. I've found the smoke pan pretty empty with just a the few chips you can use without getting oversmoked and have followed some other folks advice of adding charcoal or briquets to boost the heat output (it 18F right now out there and after nearly 3...

    Inside Round Roast - qview along the way

    Morning ladies and gents, My wife's in the mood for something well-done today, so I've preheated the smoker and the grill already. Got out on the deck to sun, 16F temp, and snow to replace all that melted last weekend Plopped down my roast before searing then remembered to turn for the...

    Inside Round Roast - qview along the way

    OK, another Friday, another piece of meat to get ready! Found a nice piece of beef for the weekend - a 4 lb inside round roast. Nicely marbled for a round roast and a good 'brick' shape for even cooking all around. Didn't need any trimming as the butcher did a good job . Injected 2 oz of...

    Sirloin Tip Roast, Smoked and served Medium-Rare - qview along the way

    Thank you sir, I've gotten an inside round roast for this Saturday and picked up a fresh leg of lamb for Sunday. My wife's partial to deboned lamb in a marinade on the grill - red wine, lemon juice, rosemary.... - I'll see how those work out. Cheers,

    Sirloin Tip Roast, Smoked and served Medium-Rare - qview along the way

    Hello folk, switched from pork roast to roast beef for this try . I'd gotten a 4 lb sirloin tip roast before looking up how to cook it - looked like a good piece of meat. I checked a few postings and decided to smoke it to just medium-rare as a few folk had had problems with them getting...

    Newbie-New MasterBuilt SmokeHouse ???'s

    That's a good idea. I'd put my racks and water pan in the dishwasher after a rinse on the first use and ended up with bits of brown crud on all the other dishes after the wash . My wife already put me on the 'wash it by hand' detail Cheers,

    Looks real good. Were you monitoring temperature or going by 'feel' on the shoulder? Cheers,

    Iowa Newbie

    Hey Linda, I bought my MES in January and have been having a great time so far. First mistake was using too much wood - just needs a few chips at a time to get good results - and based on my luck I'd recommend you try some side ribs using the 3-2-1 method you'll find posted here...

    Hello to all

    Glad to hear from you. I got a MES in Jan as well - but man you must be working it fulltime to get all those in so far! I used WAY too much wood the first time out but am getting the hang of it now. Cheers,
